What do you like better?

Post by canadiancatgreen »

hi
I have a question
when you attend a monster truck show do you prefer?

1) cars painted to be 1-5 colours in a show as they useally are now

or

2) cars in the same colour as they were at the junkyard.

and why, why can be just because i do like option ?

I can see option 1 might be more professionable
but option in option 2 the cars are more interesting thus making the show more interesting.

what is your opinion?

Last time I went to a show they were a few colors but to tell the truth I never gave it any thought. Either way would be okay for me.

Been to shows here in Australia. I too never really gave that any thought before. Have to say I prefer the colours but I would go see them regardless. So either way i dont mind.

Okay, here's one reason in favor of painting cars all the same color. Can you tell me what direction the track runs in just from this picture? Can you tell me the east and west ends of the stadium?

</center>

White is west, blue is east. The trucks began in the center, made a tight turn around the closest cars, then made a wide turn around to the farthest cars. Without colors I would not be certain with the same precision as I am with the colors.


For fun, here's another pic at the start line.

suddenly I miss the bigger stadium we had. I wish they would do this stuff outdoors here. An outdoor race would be awesome. And you wouldnt have to smell thee exhasut fuems, not that I'm complaining, it makes the trucks seem to move faster and jump higher lol

How often are you stuck behind a bunch of bright yellow cars in a traffic jam on I-95? Rarely.

Having natural rust-bucket junkers would be more conducive to everyone's monster truckin' commute to school or work.

Maybe not I-95 but you sure could on 7th Avenue.

Maybe the reason they paint them is they don't want to give anybody ideas ;-)

re I 95

I stands for Interstate Interstate 95 I do not know where it is though.

I do not get the point ether.
Maybe they are refering to a traffic jam or areas with high amounts of traffic?

Yea; it goes from the bottom right hand corner of the USA to the upper right hand corner of the USA.

Tons of people get stuck in traffic on it every day being that it's thousands of miles long and goes though many major cities.

I forget so many of you are from canadia.

All u have to know is that I-95 is a big busy interstate that sometimes could be traveled faster should u have a route over the stopped cars in front of you.
