It's been said "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it". Most of the time when the phrase is used it's intended to strike home in someone thinking negative or malicious thoughts. Kind of like when you were young and wished death on someone for messing up your sandbox. Or when you thought how great it would be to date the prettiest most popular girl in school only to find that her fangs rivaled those of a mountain lion.Well we've been wishing for something and we finally got it. I also got the enormous amount of debt involved with it but hey, live for the moment right? You may remember a few posts back when I mentioned our zeal to keep up with the jones's. Going to the track and seeing more and more trailers like these every weekend made our once accomodating 6x12 look more like a foot locker. And when we traveled out of town that hard floor was really uncomfortable to sleep on but it was still better than paying the prices they charge (rob) you for a room at a hotel. Now we have the best of both worlds. A shop, and a hotel, all in one rolling package.
Alright I know what you may be thinking. Like any of these nut cases in racing, I'm just another guy who's compensating for something in his life which is understandably smaller. Not that it really matters but I want to assure you that the compensation is not for slight of anatomy, rather than slight of trailer. I'll agree with you that some guys you see at the track pull up with 40 feet of trailer for two karts and it looks a little ridiculous. Unless you are the factory support group then who really needs all that space? But as big as our new trailer seems it still pales in comparison to most of what's out there. Makes no difference to me though. I've got running water, heat, and air-conditioning to comfortably accomodate all of us. We've got 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, full bath, and every other creature comfort you can imagine. And the best part is I have my very own "shop" in the back of the unit. Is this a great country or what?
Oh, did I mention the truck is new too? Yes sir! an '06 Ram 3/4 ton with a Cummins Turbo Diesel. It does the job seeing that the old truck was not nearly strong enough to brunt this new load. I just wish someone could do something about the obscene prices that I myself and all my oil-burner brethren have to pay for fuel. And if fill ups weren't enough of a small fortune then don't even get me started on all the aftermarket performance add-ons that are available for this thing, I have to fight this temptation every day. Even if I wanted, there's nothing I can do anyway. The Jeanie informed me that I've pretty much rubbed a hole in his lamp.
