 Went to the Aberdeen, MD annual Mopar Meet on Saturday. Along with a wicked sunburn on my left arm, neck, and face, I managed to snag some photos with my Click for full album.

My wife and I married super young. She was 21 I was 25. I had a degree at 23, had a lovely job I hated, then left to do my own startup. I struggled for a LONG time at that before getting a small amount of funding which let me start paying myself something resembling a wage. Did those for 5 years without ever having a huge hit (had a few minor sell outs), and was worried I was never going to find a 'real' job again, so I went into videogames after talking to the Marsh brothers. I was offered a crappy contract position at a booming company, and lucked out by falling in at the start of one of the biggest new economies ever - mobile games - and have run with it for the past 4 years. Started my own company 16 months ago, went 6 months without pay, almost hung it up, then we had our first hit game. I keep thinking of all the choices or situations I had that could have easily gone the other way, and what my life would be like. I'm definitely grateful for everything I have.

I'm amazed that road/rail hasn't become a "thing" with car culture yet. We've got dudes restore and mount old ship horns to their pickups, people making radial-powered Beetles, hyper-milers, why isn't there a subculture of dudes doing this to their cars and making youtube videos of them trying not to get caught by railroads? I mean, unless they are constantly getting killed because gently caress being around tracks if you aren't a train. Boomerjinks fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Aug 17, 2015 |

That is a pretty awesome inspection car. There used to be plenty of abandoned/semi-abandoned lines you could safety use something like that on around here, but they're all getting converted into bike trails. Plus, any line that sits unused for any significant period of time would require mounting some kind of giant wood chipper to the front of the car to deal with the saplings that grow up within a few years.

They already one upped it when they made snowblower trains. It looks like someone mounted a tunnel borer on the front of an engine.

My father owns two Speeder's and used to own a high-railer. It's probably not a thing because abandoned lines are usually in such disrepair that you'd damage your vehicle and it's super loving illegal to run on active rails without permission. Some of the guys in his Speeder club just jumped on a random leg of track and ended up with thousands of dollars in fines and all their railcars were impounded. One of his current speeders

All the guys that would be into having a highrail car would probably just have a track speeder instead. I used to go on trackspeeder rides with my dad when I was a kid, and I do remember this one guy who had an old Jeep (Willys, maybe? Maybe newer? Definitely fold-down windscreen and open) with rail wheels mounted on it. Not a highrail setup, just replaced the wheels with railcar wheels. I don't remember if he trailered it there or drove it to the seton point and swapped wheels. I was probably 6 or so at the time. That was a while ago.

My front bumper is made from 1/4" plate steel and I have a chainsaw for anything over like 3" diameter. I wonder if there are any abandoned tracks around here... Also, I think 14 will get his biturbo before I get a J truck
