This vehicle was parked outside the property where we park our bus yesterday. I am thinking a project based on this platform (Think: Teardrop trailer!) would be much cheaper, plus it would get incredible grass mileage. And the products out of its exhaust are 100% bio-degradable. What do you think?

    Yeah, having the exhaust up in front of the passenger compartment may cause issues.

 Steve,
That needs to be a framed painting (less the graffiti).  Care if I show it to my artist wife? We have a Jack and horses, bred the Jack to a Gaited Paint Mare last fall awaiting the results....

You don't have to believe everything you think.

Just think: your bus doesn't need feeding while parked. This rig does wether you use it or not.

That's what I tell my wife whose hobby is horses: my bus doesn't need feeding while parked, and it is easy to catch when I need it, LOL.

That's what I found out about horses when my wife had several.  The more I learned about horses, the more I wanted a motorcycle.

If God had wanted us to keep riding horses, He wouldn't have had us invent motorcycles...

And it's even smog-compliant.   It already has a urea-injection (or is that ejection?) system in place, and you can use a shovel instead of a particulate filter.   It also probably leaks less liquids than some of our engines.   What's not to like, amigo?

No problem. If she does paint it, I would love to get a copy!

You guys are thinking too large scale.



And, completely unrelated, you would not think googling images of "mormon handcart" would bring up pictures of topless women, but you would be wrong.  ???
