Default Cheap cigarettes . . .

Looks like seat belts serve a secondary purpose in that rig.

All kinds of people laughing at the truck. Anyone knows that you put the big wheels at the front.

Everyone should know that that truck is faster now, than before the suspension mods. It has to go faster now, because it's always going downhill.........

I'd love to see someone analyze the front suspension's
new geometry, it's like they rotated those spindles 30°.
And the contact patch has been moved several inches
forward, and up a ways. Something something caster?

Picture turning the steering wheel. One side of the truck
will drop, while the other has to bear even more weight.
I'd imagine the coils are subjected to weird dynamics.

Headlight aim is perfect for seeing potholes.


"I had friends say back then, "I`ll quit when they hit $1.00 a pack".

Great to see that they aren't denying their addiction, they just like throwing money away by choice, at the cost of their own and anyone around them's health. Not addicted though.

I used to buy my cigs in KY. They were always cheaper than OH( where I worked) or in IN ( my state of residence). When they hit $1.00 per pack in KY I quit ( 1991). Haven’t smoked a single cigarette since 1993. Still smoke an occasional cigar.

They are 12+ dollars a pack now in Washington State.
Quit long ago.
They really would rather have you smoke pot now anyway....

I said I'd quite when the hit $.75 per pack. but never did. Tho I did quit them about 5 years ago and switched to the little cigars, which I don't inhale. It's a nervousness thing I guess not having one between your fingers. LOL I did quit back when I had Covid for a month. Then someone pulled out in front of but I didn't hit them Came dam close tho. And I started back up again. Now trying to wean myself off of them. Good thing I don't smoke in the house. I'd have to listen to the Ex smoker the War bitch and moan.

Cost of them is $1.74 per pack. Brand is Cheyenne Gold.
