Stop in for a cup of coffee

Speaking of desert rats. This guy, Rodney Rucker is a refugee from Barstow also.
He was a friend of mine that went to the high school across town. We ran in the same hot rodding circles, although as you can see, his ideas were a wee bit different than ours :lol:. Rodney built a "Monster Truck" before monster trucks were even a thing. His actually had purpose at the time, with the addition of a good share of the suspension and drivetrain from a surplus truck via the USMC, he used to drag his full sized Ford backhoe and trailer behind what was at one time a 70s vintage 3/4 ton Ford pickup. He's somewhere in Az now building vehicles such as above :rofl:. Yeah, Rodney was a little different :lol:. Took his pickup to Vegas, while cruising The Strip he was stopped by a local constable. " I don't know what this is! Or where it came from! But get it out of Clark County right now! Never let me see it again!" :rofl:
