I would never want a house that big. So many rooms to the point you forget about some, PITA to get around, nonstop cleaning every week or two. I'd much rather have this:

We have a house that is 2200 square feet and the wife and I always talk about downsizing to about half that after the kids are gone. Give me 1000-1100 square feet on 5-10 wooded acres and I would be happy.

I would want a shop / garage, thats a good deal larger than the house i would want to live in, i think 150 - 200 SqM house will be more than fine for me.

Would like a combined shop / garage with room to maneuver with ease, so need plenty of clearance above too, how else am i going to lift my 12 ton marauder up on the lift so i can wrench on it.

Im thinking underground garage & shop, and then a little house on top of that.
Concrete trucks will know where to go for a few days, i would like to overkill on everything from wall thickness to insulation thickness where i think 300 mm are the minimum here.

And believe it or not i would prefer 0 windows in my house, or if there will be a few they must be bullet proof, but i would probably just put up nice big 4K OLED TVs on the inside walls, and have then display footage from the CCTV cameras.
Might paint or put faux windows on the outside, just to give some kind of people hope.

My heart belongs to quads/ATVs. It always has and always will. Probably because I was raised on go karts and progressed to quads rather than minibikes to dirt bikes even though I now love and ride street bikes. Anyway, this quad looks fun as hell!!!

That’s nuts. My uncle used to have an in-line 3, 2 stroke Artic Cat snowmobile motor on a 250 quadracer chassis. He’d beat crutch rockets on pavement with some sticky Hoosiers in the back. Thing wouldn’t start rolling til about 9-10k RPMs and would redline at 16k or so. Madness.

That look like a killer quad, really you just got to be a little late or lazy on it, and it will fling you to the side i am sure.


Always wanted why there are no quad drifting ( on dirt ) competitions, i loved to go sideways on my Raptor.
Turning left steering right or vice versa, good old fun.

so cool. but why didnt he lower it and get rid of some of the travel to make it more stable? at least get the arms parallel to the ground.
and why so much front wing angle and zero rear? does he not know hes fighting oversteer and instability?
bad ass though.

I wondered the same about the height and suspension setup. It is high and looks softly sprung like it's still setup for off-road. Doesn't make any sense.

The wings aren't doing much of anything. I am guessing he wanted the steep front wing angle to try to keep the front end down during acceleration, but it doesn't work like that. That's the only thing I could think anyway.

Pumas are one of the cats that don't mind getting their feet wet, or even more than that, swim just fine too.
