So, with my job these days I have been crazy busy and no time for much of anything that isn't work.
I started towing nights and weekends to make some extra money on top of my full time day job. eventually they talked me into quitting the day job and towing full time.

Then they talked me into getting a class A license and towing big shit. This is my daily ride

My very first semi tow

Now some of the random shit I deal with on a daily basis

Load shifted and almost rolled over. Had to support it and winch it out at the same time

We are first responders for the fire department and train with them a couple times a year. I rolled this tanker truck while they worked to get a dummy out of a car under it
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi571.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss152%2FSecksyPeePee%2F39039F52-90B5-48AB-8D9C-FC444FC557E3_zpsue8fluks.jpg&hash=7c42c7bcaafba30a8d877ae84a9b6d5b98dd1899)
This thing had me doing wheelies all over the place. Luckily they are trading my truck in sometime in April and I'm getting a bigger truck
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi571.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss152%2FSecksyPeePee%2F6A9BA825-12A1-47C7-806E-D8AC72DEB781_zps9fqacunj.jpg&hash=b53ebb1d569295991ee69c5e8da6465b7d5d44fd)
These suck horribly. The front bumpers are always super low so I have to get the tires up on blocks to be able to get my lift under them. Then you can only pick the front up a little bit cause the back is so low that it will drag the ground. They are also a bit longer and heavier than a normal semi.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi571.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss152%2FSecksyPeePee%2FA14E5650-EC7B-4EBC-BE78-E34B37F3F0E5_zps7v7l8dpv.jpg&hash=c819c07dd0cbc6876319a84c2ef342810362303a)
Only time I have gotten to tow double trailers. Nothing real eventful there, its much easier to make turns than a standard semi
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi571.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss152%2FSecksyPeePee%2F816BAA2C-C6F6-48F1-A232-237635183C97_zpso07vg12f.jpg&hash=b9689457122fe53f916265d932a30402cb0dcaf0)
By far the heaviest and longest vehicle I have towed. Combined weight of that truck and mine was 147,000lbs and 130ft long
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi571.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss152%2FSecksyPeePee%2FECA39A4E-B115-4498-B0E2-DCE5BC5F92AF_zpsxvnq1ehu.jpg&hash=538cb949485fb64588780c166456d4b54b791a6e)
I daily a stock ass 2000 crv that I picked up cheap. Then recently picked up a theft recover gsr. I tuned the car for the kid, he moved to orlando where dudes will steal their mom's honda and it got stolen, gutted and left on a quiet street. He called me and said I could have the car free and clear if I picked it up that day. so I did and spent about 8 months piecing it back together with mostly shit I had laying around. It has a stock LS swap that I completely re-sealed and put ARP headstuds in. Threw a little turbonetics turbo on it with cast manifold and small front mount. It's just a street car, nothing fancy. Untuned on 10psi and street tires it went low 9's in the 8th. Gonna take it back tuned and on slicks one more time to see what it does, then just drive it while i work on other shit.
please ignore the rest. not mine

-

-
Thank you sirs
Glad to get some feedback on the shirts that isn't people I actually know in person.
-

What color shirt? My current stock is black shirt with light gray background and white letters. I can get others though.
Oh wait..... I do t think I can help with the suck, bang, or blow if it's not a shirt.
Lol
-
oh yeah, so whats up with the shirts? like cost? and what kind of shirt are they printed on?
suggestions:
honestly, your name is too big on the shirt.
put your name like the second pic, slightly smaller, up the seam, or across the bottom. plus im sure its cheaper/easier than doing both sides of the shirt.
use good hanes/fruit TAGLESS shirts, shit they are like 4-5bucks at walmart... the ones that i got from blipshift where on shit ass shirts. thin material (not really a bad thing if its used as undershirt) and shrunk up like a full size.
i like the suck squish bang blow...i suggested it about a year ago to blip, no love.... make a cool design that shows each cycle.
OH. im sure AJ wouldnt mind. but how about pic of the turbo with "i get blown daily"
-
I have a roommate that works for a screen printer and get me gildan shirts for the dirty low. That's also how I'm doing this. I design and he prints. My business and I just pay for his labor.
I'm shooting for $15ea for the shirts. I'll see how that pans out as the orders happen
The black shirt I posted was my very first design.
I started playing with a design that shows each cycle the other day, but haven't found that magic formula that makes it work yet.
I like the blown daily idea. Could also work with superchargers.

my thought was just the pistons, not so much the whole crankcase. then maybe offset?

Blown daily daily written across it please!! But put it on the back and maybe a the same thing on the front, but small and on the upper left chest area? Is that doable? If so I'll buy 2, XXL shirts.And what gildan shirts do you use? They have like 5 different kinds I belive. Also available in long sleeve?
-
Lol, those are all pics I have been looking at off and on for days trying to come up with something. I'll figure something out soon.
I'll bring the "blown daily" to the top of the list and come up with something. I already have that shirt printed. I'd rather keep it as is and do a new design.
-
Maybe get Craig to send you some old Tuner Toys shirt pics.
Loved the "Get yourself Blown" shirt, but have your logo or RHMT logo the back. :noel:
-
Ok cool. Let us know what you come up with. I have a stack of shirts I've bought from nods over the years.
-
I thought it was great when Jeff got arrested at a hmt meet about 10 years ago and he was wearing the get yourself blown hoodie..lol
-
I'd buy a few shirts, cuz that's how I roll
-
Good update, now DOWORK!

Thoughts?

-
Not bad, any other turbo images?
-
I looked through a lot of google images for turbo ideas. That's where I ended up. Lol. Nothing else made sense for this use
-
What about a FAKLAD shirt? :noel:
-
I'm trying to avoid anything brand specific. I may do some small run stuff for here like that, but there are issues with using brand images and things. The guy I have actually printing my shirts got hit with a $500 bill from Honda for making shirts that said civic and crx on them.

Phil, I thought you were a mill technician

I have spent most of my adult life working on planes. One of my first jobs was in a machine shop making parts for Airbus, but that was 15 years ago

more felatijokes on shirts the people want more

Anyone from this site that wears a shirt with BBC on it is a fag except BlackDragon.

One of my favorite shirts

Hmmm maybe I'll try to do something with that. I'm not printing images like that one dude here, only screen printing. So the idea will have to be altered to work
