Are these gonna be like a drag pack style with slicks on the back or just a replacement for the speedsters?View attachment 15614
I just did it as if it's a drag pack. Had to use a different program cause the one I've used for years shut down and I only now found out. I need to figure out the blending tool

Looks awesome! If I do it, it would just replace the Speedstars.
 
i80 Iowa today, was stuck for two full hours in between pileups

Mercifully the one (directly) in front got cleared enough for us to exit the interstate, but westbound was apparently even worse towards Iowa City and apparently the whole thing was shut down. Doubled back eastbound all the way home… Counted 22 wrecked semis on the way back.
 
I imagine weather had a big role to play in that wreck?

Any word on if everyone made it out of that?

Bad weather and drivers/truckers who don’t drive for the conditions

I saw 5 ambulances and I’m pretty sure the one in the white truck had to be cut out of the cab

I saw it had been shut down between Coralville and Walcott(Worlds largest truck stop) for to pile-ups. Not fun to be in the ditch when it's single digits out as well.
 
This system went south of us here this afternoon/evening and the northern edge skimmed us. Really nasty, fine powdery stuff. Super slippery slop! 🥶

The world’s largest truck stop is where it eventually backed up to, we were stuck just past the cedar river where there was a big pileup in front of us and a huge pileup behind us at the bridge. Once a few of us in the jam were lucky enough to exit and get back eastbound before it was closed again I saw just miles upon miles of dead stopped traffic backed up to it, and that truck stop for the first time I’d ever seen was at max capacity.

I saw 3 cars go off in front of us, one veered left into the center median and got stuck but could be pulled out easy enough, the other two however veered towards the right and went down a steep ditch and must have collided. After about an hour I eventually walked over to see what I could see and it looked like the whole lot of them were huddled in the bigger crew cab truck down there that was still running. I imagine they were probably still there by the time I got back home 3 hours later, what a nightmare.

When we were finally able to navigate through the psudo-cleared carnage we first got off at the first exit to a One 9 truck stop to grab a bite to eat and figure out what to do. One guy I talked to there got hit and ran by a truck that left his car totaled. He didn’t know what to do and frankly I wouldn’t either. Sleep huddled there and wait for a wrecker some time tomorrow, if lucky? There aren’t any hotels anywhere near walkable in that weather.

Anyone watch Anthony Joshua knock out Jake Paul in round six of the fight last night?

I heard Jake thinks his jaw is broken. That's just brutal! What a beat down!

He broke it twice. This is what happens when he faces a real boxer.

Yeah, he’s an idiot for even thinking that he can get in the ring with a real professional. I’m honestly surprised that he went 6 rounds with this champion. The end result was still as one would expect. He won’t be trash talking now with his mouth wired shut while that heals. 🤐
