that thing looks bad ass. i want one!

aarons419 12-17-2012 09:34 PM

You gotta go sit on one, it's like a couch that hauls ass.

NickPic83 12-17-2012 09:47 PM

2 of some of my favorite things...a couch and hauling ass

aarons419 12-17-2012 09:51 PM

LoLz. yup did the same thing when i looked at the Raptor

aarons419 12-17-2012 10:06 PM

Oh yeah me too. It's a very similar vibe I get from the scrambler now that I think of it.

NickPic83 12-17-2012 10:11 PM

yikes then i am staying far away from that. i wish my popo dealership wasnt so close to my job. the urge to stop in will always be there. the last time i went there to just "look", i ended up putting a down payment on a order for a limited edition RZR

aarons419 12-17-2012 10:14 PM

Yeah, it's not quite as bad as the Raptor, plus I wasn't about to sign up for a $12k quad right now, haha.

a new twist to couch surfing......

NickPic83 12-18-2012 08:33 PM

cant say i havent ridden a couch down a road before.....younger and dumber days i was on a couch getting pulled behind some dumb ass truck, a ford ranger(4.0).....pretty funny shit at the time. the couch legs were sparking and it eventually set the fabric of the couch on fire. i was like the lazy evil kenievel. goin about 40mph or so on a couch with fire shooting out the back lol

how cute, 6.2 was pulling you........

aarons419 12-19-2012 10:13 AM

Nick that's freakin awesome!

I did something similar, but it was on a car hood getting pulled by an F-150 on a gravel road at like 40mph. Scariest thing I've ever done, the hood was sparking like you said your couch was, and it was also just getting red hot. We had been smart enough to lay blankets and stuff down so I didn't get burned, but my god I thought I was gonna die.

yeah that sounds pretty nuts expecially on gravel. that was smart to think of blankets. i probably wouldnt have thought of that

"Smart" in comparative terms anyway. Nothing about that idea was smart, but that's what happens when you are a bunch of bored rednecks in a small town.

We used one of those old school giant satellite TV dishes as a pull behind sled in the snow with my buddy's F150 dragging it. That was a hell of a lot of fun.

NickPic83 12-20-2012 08:36 PM

haha few years ago we had a pretty good snow storm. pretty much shut down the area. so after probably too many beers to make any intelligent decisions we decided to tie a tube to the back of a banshee and tear ass up and down the road going around turns and all. so after a while that got a little boring so we took it to the next step. we built a big jump in the middle of the road. so we started having the banshee turn just before the ramp and we would let go of the rope and go off the jump. lots of fun but then it turned into a whos got the bigger balls contest. every turn we would have the banshee go faster and let go later. i am talking fast too, talking banshee goin WOT thru gears....well finally my one buddy went off the ramp and went so far and high he flipped a couple times and actually ended finding the end of the circle and hitting the curb with his shoulder and bruise it badly. thank god we were smart enough to wear a helmet even tho it got in the way of the beer drinking....
