Topic: Box Truck 2.0, Even Boxier
We loved the gnome, sometimes we loved the gnome transporter box truck even more...
But the gnome got sold! The box truck moved on to a team of acrobats. What to do?
Well we went out and bought another stupid motorcycle powered car:

I know what you're thinking. So what. That's lame. Nobody cares.
Agreed!
But as Michael Bolton so eloquently put it in his Tale of Captain Jack Sparrow: "Now back to the good part!"
What was really missing in our lives? What would make that hole in our hearts feel less dark, cold, and empty? The answer was obvious. More box truck.
I present to you, the Black Iron Racing MRsaki Bombay Sapphire Gin & Transporter!
20' long, lo-pro box. Big honking beefiness. Turbo dieselness. Uber cheapiness!

Gestapo inspired CA smog rules have unleashed a giant steaming pile of super cheap commercial trucks, as the only way a company can legally operate this thing past the end of this year is to replace the engine with a 2010 spec engine. What's a guy to do? Well we just register it as a much cheaper to insure, fully smog exempt, privately owned RV of course! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The box truck pron is all visible here:
We're planning to pimp the thing out with all manners of mobile race weekend luxuries such as cheapo chinese generator, spare fuel tanks zip tied securely under the box, and even a mini fridge permanently stocked with diet coors inside. See you suckas at the track next year!
