Crunchbang Truckers

Digit · 2014-09-22 03:59:32

welcome to the Crunchbang Truckers thread.

got a truck? (or something that you could stretch to calling a truck?)

if yes, then akin to having a cat making you be right for the crunchbang cat club, having a truck means you're in the right place here.

share pics; share stories; share your trials and tribulations; share whatever geeky plans you might have for it, if any, or just share in the joy of trucking.

{i'll be back with my own story, and plans, and maybe pics later ~ just wanted to kick off this thread idea hot on the heals of discussions in the unofficial crunchbang irc chan}

A truck? hey... I'll be driving a truck!

'01 Ford F150 Lariat crew cab

not my picture, but close enough:

I'll confess though that right now I drive my sister's 97' Honda Civic :8

#! Crunchbang-Truckers

It's kinda like a Mobile-LUG (Linux Users Group) for #!Crunchbang-Users

Make regular meetings at a popular Truck-Stop
The LUG meeting are in, usually, bookstore or Coffee-shop

I would join and participate. ... (I have houses in Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Lubbock)

I have no truck with trucks. So truck you, trucker!

Have a truck. 2001 Ford Ranger. It was a dollar (from a friend, our Corolla went way south at the same time they bought a new truck). They left about $1.50 in the change tray that they wouldn't take back so it ended up being -.50 cents, sort of like a rebate.

Man, that is OLD!

Now, when I think "trucker", I think of somebody with a commercial driving license (not necessarily "big rigs", but anything that isn't covered by a typical commuter's license). Where's this "truckers' club" setting the bar? Does an El Camino qualify? What about this?

Incidentally, I'll be getting a new bike soon, and converting my motorized one into a pusher trailer, which will have plenty of room on the frame for either a passenger saddle or some large panniers (swapped out depending on need)...

...I hope that didn't kill this thread... :8

CSCoder4ever · 2014-09-23 21:24:07

You did! there are only 2 crunchbangers that have trucks! soon 3

Digit · 2014-09-23 23:41:07

i have yet to get a picture of my actual truck in its current state, but when it was new, and still had all its seats in the back for life as an "emm pee vee", i imagine it looked like this:

♪, ♫ na-na na-na na na, inspector gadget... ;D

@pvsage, it's a complete unit and hauls something so I think it counts.

@Digit, well that's a party on wheels there.

CSCoder4ever · 2014-09-24 00:32:15

@Digit For some reason that picture reminds me of my father's ooooold daihatsu Rocky.... darn I loved that truck!

as self appointed defacto convener of #! truckers, i agree.

yup. even without the seats in the back, it's been a feature at parties.
pity it's off the road for the next few months. benefits sanctions r no fun. ... but it will return, eventually, and in greater glory than before.

chillicampari · 2014-09-24 00:55:44

Yay!!!

vrkalak · 2014-09-24 19:30:19

I have heard of Kris Krisefferson and Jerry Reid ... does that count?

g33zr · 2014-09-25 01:12:32

Well, I've rented and driven a couple of U-Haul trucks.

linuxreign · 2014-09-25 15:24:21

What about Crunchbang Railroaders? anyone?

I guess it would be just me?

^ I took a train from Raleigh to Greenville once. I wouldn't recommend it.

my cousin drives freight trains; that close enough?

fishesandloaves · 2014-11-07 00:34:10

Trucks. Railroad engines. Common element? Sometimes diesels. My diesel, however, is a 2006 VW New Beetle TDI. Lol.

pvsage · 2014-11-07 07:33:19

Still working on getting that other bike, but the end result will be something kinda like this:

...only different. Concept it there though; basically, it's like a tractor trailer, except the trailer pushes.

Wasn't Bruce Springsteen a truck driver?

^ I understand The Boss had a thing for Deuces; presumably that would extend to the BB truck.
