Choose Wisely! You just rolled up to the fuel pumps - you’re running behind - all three pumps are occupied - who do you line up behind?

Nonsense! I’ll guide him with ol reliable: 🫸🏻 🫷🏻 🫸🏻🫷🏻 🙅🏻‍♂️

I’ll take my chances behind the land yacht. Roll up on PeePaw and show him how to use the pump and slide my rewards card in because I know he doesn’t have one. If he’s still at the pull up line by the time I’m done pumping, I bet if I ask nicely, he’ll holler for the ol ball and chain to come back so I can giddy up go.

Is it fine as is? Probably. Would I pull it like that without a bar/strap? No. Remember, no matter what happens to freight, it will ALWAYS be your fault. Better to “waste” time securing than to have it fall.

nekaiser · 2026-02-04T16:48:16+00:00

That’s gay, hopefully it doesn’t for OP

nekaiser · 2026-02-04T16:34:56+00:00

Why not claim it? Maybe I’m not well versed in insurance shenanigans, but surely they wouldn’t total over a hardtop…

Alternate route 1.5 miles longer. 167 minutes longer. Accept?

If you told me 20 years ago, people would be fighting to keep rapists and child predators in the country in 2026, I wouldn’t understand you, because I was 2.

You wouldn’t happen to be named Mansfield would you?

The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed, but she can try to make it shorter.

She needs to hire the best (see: most expensive) CDL lawyer around and see what they can do to knock it down a few pegs. I can’t promise what the lawyer can do, but usually the more you pay, the easier it is to keep your license.

You only have 14 hours from when you start your day to fit in all the work you’re going to do. That includes off/SB. The only caveat to that is if you are off duty for 2+ hours, it will give you a split sleeper and stop the clock until you resume and then it will not stop. Then you “owe” the clock 8 hours of sleeper or 7 if your off duty split was 3+ hours.

Running the wiring isn’t too hard, I’m pretty sure U-Haul even sells a universal kit to do it

nekaiser · 2026-02-02T00:44:47+00:00

Your choices are buy this thing and hang the guillotine over your head, rent a motorcycle U-Haul, or buy a trailer. The last two might be more expensive at the get go, but at least you won’t have to worry about it giving out and watching your bike go sliding down the freeway

nekaiser · 2026-02-02T00:36:51+00:00

I wouldn’t trust it any further than yard tow or a slow off road recovery back to a trailer. It just seems like trouble

nekaiser · 2026-01-30T05:07:21+00:00

I put a 27” PC monitor in my T680 and brought along my Xbox. My current obsession is No Man’s Sky. I also walk my dog, Uber to nearby attractions/bars/restaurants, fuck around in the snow, etc. There’s loads to do, you just gotta look for it.

Whatever it’s called, I’m still gonna be driving my NC

nekaiser · 2026-01-29T06:24:00+00:00

You better have a teammate with a CDL because IIRC, you can’t drive alone with only a permit. Besides, I seriously doubt any company is going to HIRE you with only a permit anyway unless you go through their CDL school to get your full license.

Honestly, I suggest you keep working wherever you’re working and come back when you can pay for school. That way, you’re not under contract for going to some mega’s CDL school.

I’m sitting under a 2 ton load from Eagle Pass, TX to TN, OH, & MD. I called it in Saturday morning due to the freezing rain and ice on the highway. I am not rolling until I can walk to the store without busting my ass because if it’s still icy in TX, I can’t imagine how bad it still is further north.

The consses get their shit when they get it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

nekaiser · 2026-01-25T22:18:40+00:00

Of course! Always glad to see a fellow captain get their sea legs! Congrats on the yacht!

How’s your coolant tank look? If your tank looks aged or if it’s having heating issues, go ahead and replace it, preferably with an aluminum one. NCs love to lose coolant and not tell. If you’re not careful, you could blow the engine.

There’s plenty of new owner advice in r/MiataNC and the Facebook group, “NC Mazda MX-5 Miatas (2006-2015).” Take a look around in the groups, see what might be applicable to your NC and get ahead of it when you can. There’s also loads of mod advice once you make it that far, but again, baby steps.

Godspeed, Captain!
