Chayesh Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Since recent Gallup polls show that many feel, incorrectly I might add, that I dodged my promise to post a picture, I will offer two as recompense. Actually they are quite cool. Anyone familiar with sandrails? For those who aren't, they are also called dune buggies or swamp buggies depending on where you live. They are essentially a tube-frame racing rollcage with an engine strapped to the back. For those familiar with horsepower to weight ratios, that means they weigh about 600 lbs or so and have usually 65-85 horsepower. Of course, mine makes north of 100, but who's counting? ;-P So, to make amends, I offer some recent pictures of me and my "doom" buggy while I was in the staging area. NOTE: my rig is the hot rod looking one flying the Jolly Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chayesh Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 /signed I took it out the other day and found myself following some quad ATV riding friends up a dune face that, no joke, went straight up at something close to 80-85 degrees (translation: wall). Thinking I'd need mucho horsepower to not get stuck going up, I got a good dead-on (pun intended) run at it. Now, in my rail, first gear has gobs of torque, but second is my screamer gear because first gear is just too short to build up any real speed. Plus, in second's powerband is when my hopped-up cam kicks in and smashes you back in your seat. Raced at this wall-o'-dune, downshifted to second and shot straight up the thing....and kept going....Tailstand 10 feet off the ground going 35 mph or so. My quad riding buddy, who is never prone to exaggeration, said afterward, "Nice job, Evel Kneivel. You just jumped over my sister's Honda Civic."

Deykari Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 That looks very, very cool. Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, it would have been no bad thing for the Honda if you'd have landed ontop of it. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinicky Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Nice. I want to go out in buggies with paintball guns and shoot at eachother. That sounds like fun today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Since when did Chayesh become a smooth talking bard? I mean seriously the ADD of the pbase was just whole heartedly proven. Chay weaves a few words and tosses a picture of him behind a helmet that hides far more than any mustachioed and cowboy hatted picture of big b (Note: That everyone has been complaining about since it was posted.) and everyone is completely disengaged by it. While I was writing this I relazied when....ooh look, a blue car went by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangelion Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Why does it matter? Everyone who's posted pictures on the picture forum could be lying. That's just the picture we're going to associate with their face from now on. Hence why Pali will always be the Orange-Haired mustard man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I hate you all. EDIT: Then again, it's not like I really care whether all the nerds here think I'm ugly or not. Long as the real-world girls have no problems with my looks, I'm fine. ^_~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm well overdue for that, come to mention it... Please meet my girlfriend. I call her Sally. May as well post the winning Nail it Chainy dance. At a house party, and had a competition to see who could bust out the best Nail it Chainy dance (the actual dance comes from a long story). Naturally, I have the skill mastered... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4iZ2DV9zzw Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
