teenylittlemetalguy Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am thinking I will get funny looks today when I go to the metal supplier and I ask them to load the stock in my rocket. No fun having 10ft stock sticking out the window on the way home. I got a new roof rack and threw this together so I don't have to bundle everything.

Glenn Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Great idea. It reminds me of the fellow that got a couple of rocket shaped helium balloons and tied the a long string to the bumper of his car. As he drove the rockets followed LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don A Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I know a guy who has a PVC tube strapped to the lower side of a Gold Wing motorcyle to carry a Brown Bess musket to reenactments. I'll have to suggest the fins and nose cone to him. I'd say that Alaskans are more ammused than shaken up. Imagine driving that rig through California.

ThomasPowers Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ahh slap a few radiation trefoils on it and you could get a free trip to Cuba in no time! (decades ago there was an incident where someone was tailgating my van as I was hauling my falconette home from an event. They did back off when the rear doors flew open and there was a cannon pointing at them with a lit fuse in the touch hole---ahh to be young and stupid again!)

teenylittlemetalguy Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Love the cannon story.I would have backed off as well! The snow is at the end of my driveway, we had +11' this year so they ran out of places to stack it. My yard has two big piles that looks like a bare butt mooning me when i look out the window. Man I need spring to melt it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudbugone Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For some reason I keep getting the vision of taping a Roman Candle to that roof rack rocket and lighting the fuse.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm thinking a Marvin the Martin doll with a lit lighter sitting next to it would be a nice visual. That came together nicely Tristan. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robakyo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks for the laugh! As soon as I opened your pic I actually did laugh out loud. Over the top. Ingenious. Logical. I forgot how funny and creative you folks can be. I've never explored this section of the forum before. I usually lurk in the Bladesmithing section. Very interesting topics here!

greg Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Shame it ain't armed it sure would add a whole new twist to road rage :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robakyo Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Is road rage even an issue up there? I wasn't old enough to drive when I lived in Alaska, but as a passenger, I never saw an angry, aggressive driver. People were pretty laid back.

Some of the guys that commute in from the valley tend to drive way too fast for conditions. literally 80 and 90 mph on solid packed ice and snow.

I even went out to the airport to pick up a package and the cops don't mind at all. Mostly just thumbs ups and smiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
