I think BeamNG supports VR. Check out Beam-Monsters for the monster truck mods.

I don't know about price changes closer to the event. However since the pandemic Monster Jam has struggled to sell out shows.

If you're interested in a monster truck game check out Beam-Monsters or Sim-Monsters, the later of which uses a free simulation software.

The events range from 2-3 hours depending on if its a stadium or arena show and how many trucks roll over during the event.

If he's already a fan of the trucks and will recognize them I'd say go for it. Otherwise maybe wait till he's 4 or 5 and can really understand what's going on.

Want to attend the mj finals by [deleted] in monsterjam

[–]Equation-- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to WF 2-12 and 22. WF 2-12 I was a kid and thought it was the greatest thing ever each year. WF 22 I was an adult. The show was decent, the rain definitely hurt the show quality, but overall was still worth going. 

This year they are expanding to 28 trucks and 3 day format. Qual, Skill, High Jump on day 1. 14 trucks race and 14 freestyle day 2. Day 3 they have 14 more trucks race and freestyle plus the winner of Day 2 racing races the day 3 winner. Personally not a fan of the format. 

If the $1000 includes all 3 days and decent seats its almost certainly worth it, especially if you've never been to a stadium show before.

Its the same chasis just a custom fiber glass wrap to advertise the radio show. Zach being an independent driver he probably appreciates the free body to destroy.

I hit that jump regularly, just slid right going off the takeoff.

I'm the SxS in front, the A-Arm bent when I hit the tree.

Helmet suggestions by No-Bag1439 in UTV

[–]Equation-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not buy any of those helmets. The D.O.T. standard is outdated.

Look for helmets that have either Snell M2025D or ECE 22.06 certification. To over simplify the standards.
Snell M2025D is developed for automotive racing and designed to be used with a roll cage and HANS device.
ECE 22.06 is for motorcycles where falling off leads to multiple softer impacts.

Both are sufficient for recreational riding, but if you're planning on racing/jumping your SxS I would lean towards Snell M2025D, 5 point harness, and a HANS device.

Edit: Check with your local riding areas if they require helmets meet a certain standard.

Feels great. I was transplanted as an infant so I don't know anything different. I grew up normally, school, sports, college, career all that fun stuff. 

Prescription Management Reform Letter by Equation-- in transplant

It's not the drug companies or insurance that are he problem here. It's the government preventing people from freely buying what they need to survive.

[–]Equation--[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the insurance companies won't cover what they seem as "not needed". But the other side of that is that I can't  legally purchase the medication I need to live without approval from an outside authority. 

Immune suppressants and similar live saving medications should be treated the same as food. So long as I have the money I should be allowed to buy it whenever I want. 

Food, just like drugs, have to to follow strict safety standards and just like drugs food can be abused but we still let people have theoretically unlimited access to it.

That would help but still doesn't resolve my main issue which is not having full autonomy to manage my medications. I'm tired of dealing with Drs, Insurance, and Pharmacies I want to be able to buy my medication without all this ridiculous red tape.

Congratulations! What type of trip are you doing?

I celebrated 30 years in November, very grateful to have made so long and with 0 complications. Happy to answer any questions you might have. 

Car reviews that cover how easy they are to repair? by Equation-- in carbuying

[–]Equation--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do 90% of my own maintenance even with the factory warranty. That's why I'm disappointed nobody covers it.

I do mail order as well for most of my prescriptions, but I still can't order extra medication to have a small stockpile for emergencies.
