A redneck racing wheelchair! As lovely as this gas fired ride is, it will not pass muster both for environmental (and speed, more on that later) and size limits of ADAAG. (ADAAG = Americans with Disability Act Accessibility Guidelines). So its a toss-up of its usefulness out of doors. If you have a PWD who wants to ride rough, s/he may want to look at some of the tracked off-road rides. Aint nuthin' like a tank... I do like to road run, and do use electric legs to assist me in this regard. There are some inflexible mechanical limitations to how fast you actually can drive a powered chair over sidewalks or road surface(s). Powered chairs, or electric scooters have due to ADAAG, size limitations of no more than 48" from nose to tail. This makes their upper end of speed something like 7 to 12 MPH. Oh, you can (and as this photo demonstrates) juice up a chair to go faster than that. problem is you wind up with the rider underneath their ride. Usually with fractures and road rash. The most powerful and 'industrial' looking rides available today are Shoprider scooters, and Wheel Chairs of Kansas rides that will both snap your head back and get your self through the door to shop at Krogers'. FWIW wheel chairs of Kansas builds off the shelf rides for PWD weighting up to 750 LB (person), its a hell heck of a ride...

I don't usually like to puff 'stuph' of another company. But here is a link that good tracked ride photos could be culled from. www.actiontrackchair.com/

I'm not sure if a PWD (person with disability), could sneak up on a deer with a two (or four) stroke ride...
An' as the photo shows, its a hard-tail ride.

Well does this count? I was driving by on our way to Anacortes and there by the road against the water line it was! I had hubby pull over and take a pic! It's a redneck planter...oh yes it is! An old wooden boat complete with trees!

My son watches these red neck shows and they are funny. One is "Stuck with Hackett" and he made a washer and dryer with two drums, attached those to the back axles of vehicles and washed his laundry! He used a lathe to peel potatoes! Then there is this other show where these guys catch catfish with their hands or feet! The reach into the water and put a hand or a foot inside the holes and they start yelling...then they pull their foot or hand out with a big catfish on the end! It is hilarious and my son has such a good time watching it. "Hillbilly Handfishing" is the name of that show. U tube videos also have a slide show of red neck pics and they are sure worth looking up. Seems the red neck moments and happenings abound...we just need to keep our eyes peeled?

When we moved to our house there was an old bird coop that was degenerated. The neighbor (himself evicted later after getting on drugs) told me that in the previous 4 years he had only seen the renters putting stuff in it, never taking anything out. There was a broken baby carriage, a car hood, two lawn mowers, a smoky joe, containers of used motor oil etc. I'm sure that's serious redneck.
I got tired after taking 24 bags of trash out of it. I found a rattlesnake inside & that did it. So I had a friend bring over some kerosene and we lit the thing. It blazed about 10 feet high, at it's height you couldn't stand within 25 feet of it. Redneck or fun? You decide.

Today we were on the highway and saw a car in the lane next to us repaired a very interesting way. The entire left corner was covered in duct tape to hold the light in and the molding together. Then they had secured a long strip reinforced to hold up the back bumper....It was a silver car so it did not stand out that badly and they had done it pretty seamlessly...but a Redneck car repair for sure!

You might be a redneck if---- you come home (2 hour drive- gotta go back tomorrow morning at 3 AM) to take your dog for a run on the 4 wheeler- even though it's muddy out there (too warm to snow)- 4 wheeler was so muddy I had to gear it down, dog's tummy is so muddy had to put her in the shower ( a 85 lb german shepherd)- and on the way home, hub's brother, cutting up his elk, came out waving his arms- to give me a 5 gallon bucket of elk bones for said dog. Nice gift!

The ex was on the way across the state line to buy lottery tickets one evening when the battery in his car broke a cell. Instant engine shutoff! Guy in a pickup stops to ask what the problem is, offers a ride 30 miles out of his way to take the ex to the auto parts store, calls the store to ask them to hold the door for a few minutes for a dead battery. Then, finds out the ex is the cousin to the county sherrif, so he waits and gives him a ride back to the car and helps put the new battery in (holds the flashlight) We were born rednecks and raised country so this is not unexpected in our book On my way home from the state capitol (150 miles, no cell phone) the tranny went out in my car about 80 miles from home. Guy in a pickup with a company logo on the door stops and asks what's wrong. He offers me a ride home ... I would not have gotten in any other vehicle, but the company logo on the truck was a company owned by a guy that grew up on the same county road as the ex. On the way into town, we got to talking and he said he recognized the car as he only lives 3 blocks from me and his kids and my kid were in school together. And I never leave the house without my pistol, and there are many times I work in the yard with it on ... too many large dogs roam and during late winter/early spring, the dogs are following/protecting the bitch's in heat and are quite dangerous!

I think this might qualify. Guy in the neighborhood lives in a trailer that used to have a school bus out front. Well, he got rid of that, and this year, built a kennel of sorts for his new dog. Come Christmas, the house isn't decorated, but the dog kennel is strung with the prettiest colored blinking lights you ever did see. ;D That's the spirit, for sure.

Makes sense!!! DH doesn't like to mess with lights, either, and since we live on a private road, not many would see it anyway. My daughter has a pine tree on the end of her drive, and she puts the solar lights on that. It is really pretty, and not too much work to string them. Some people down the road have the house, garage, and every shed on the property decorated, plus a lot of snowmen, reindeer, etc. all over the yard. Too much work for me!!

One day years ago when all 3 kiddos were still home and I was much younger , I had a dishwasher--so proud of that dang thing--worked hard for it. So one day come home from buying groceries and was putting them away --opened the cabinet door next to the dishwasher and damn ole snake poked his head out and waved at me--- starting screaming at the top of my lungs --snake snake -- while sitting ontop of the across the isle cabinet--- hubs runs in and says where---and I pointed at that cabinet right down there--- he opens the door and snake pokes his head out waving it atround so hubs slams the door and yells at oldest son Bring my rifle---son comes running in with said rifle and hubs throws open cabinet door and shoots snake in that wavy head--- bullit goes completely through the snake head and into side of cabinet and through side of dishwasher--- dead snake---dead dishwasher.
