That's a huge bitch! How's the ride?

[ben916]

It is for viewing only and it is very rare for one to be built (last one built was over three years ago)
I can get more photos (corp) if anyone wishes and today at 3PM PST, I am going to view it.

Price tag is around $600k - $750k USD.

Is it in Seattle? Where at? What is it and what is it built to do? Are those airplane tires?

It is in Renton
It is at the Kenworth plant
It is a Kenworth 963
It is designed for oil field exploration
Not sure on what kind of tires those are but I believe they are used for soft sand?

^^That almost made me spit coffee on my monitor! (Although, you have to admit there are worse things to write your 1000th post about than a party bus.)

Ben, that bad boy brings a whole new meaning to the term "Monster Truck!"


Edit: Okay, so I just realized that was my 400th post, and it included both "party bus" and "monster truck." There must be some sort of weird space/time continuum thing going on here...

[ben916]

I am 5'7"
The tires are 6'
Update on the price tag $1.3M

Normally I don't quote posts with pictures, but this really made me laugh. And it isn't just the 3 liters of German beer that I had with dinner. I laughed before and after, but it's even funnier now at 2:15am, especially after I crashed and burned with what was possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever been shot down by.

Back on topic, that is one large piece of machinery.

Off topic again, but relevant, I'm driving through Neckarsulm tomorrow. Happy motoring!

Wheel chocks.

Nice ride Ben. That is a serious chunk of truckage. Can't imagine what it would be like blowing past a bunch of camels in Big Red. Actually, I am..... ; )
