Not sure about the specifics, but its a Peterbilt with a 10 speed transmission. Or were you asking about something else?

Sorry to continue the trucking tangent, but today was such a good day.
Our route took us down I-15 through Arizona. Goddamn but that was some of the most incredible scenery I've ever seen. Apparently we were passing by the northern parts of the Grand Canyon, but how close I couldn't say.
Also while driving, I began developing a world concept for a possible future writing project. Basically a world of humans, dwarves, elves, etc in modern-day settings with comparable technology. Not quite sure what to do with it yet but its already getting fairly well thought-out.
Ninja edit @Skyrunner: It's a bit of a challenge for sure. But in some ways its actually quite relaxing, especially when going down a major freeway with very little traffic and the cruise control on.

« on: July 23, 2013, 12:19:38 am »Is there any special skills needed for trucking besides needing to be able to lift the cab?Lift the cab...?
Anyway, you need to be in reasonably good shape, have good eyesight (can be correctable with lenses) and hearing, at least three years of a clean driving record, and the willingness to sit in and drive a large, very heavy vehicle for up to 11-14 hours a day. It helps if you know how to use a stickshift, but that's not required to get accepted at a school.
That's all you need to get started. Everything else you learn hands-on and on the job.

Trucking seems to be going well so far. Got a couple thousand miles under my belt, not needing as much sleep or drink (though I still struggle with snack cravings), and learning all sorts of things I never would have known otherwise. And it hasn't even been a week yet.

Selected my favorite character and the first match was against Q. This version of Q is both challenging and fun to fight; not a lot of moves, but they're fast, hard-hitting, and the AI can easily combo them. Plus the AI loves to parry and is very good at it.
I win the first round, Q takes the second. Third round we're neck-and-neck, with about a tenth of our health left. I manage to pull off one of my character's super moves, a beam attack that deals 50+ low damage hits. I thought to myself "It's over".
It was, but not the way I was expecting. In a tournament-worthy move, Q proceeded to parry every single hit perfectly before taking me out. I couldn't even be mad, it was pretty amazing.

Mythbusters never die. They go do some first-hand research of various afterlives and forget to come back.

I think Haspen implied that she was talking about Olison, actually.
