Htchevyii Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 We had a black PT that we gave to my parents. I was hoping when they got bored with it they would give it back and we'd head to the Gambler. They had a friend who's kid wrecked his car, so they gave it to him, so that's OK. The Gambler does look like it's more fun when you don't care about what you're driving, (I lost count of the engines that I heard on the rev-limiter). I might talk to the used car lot across the street and tell them I want a cheap beater and see if they come up with anything for next year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WranglerMangler Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Loved the video. Almost a half a million pounds of garbage is disgraceful. Good haul getting that tweaker trailer out of the woods too. Liked n subscribed. Keep ‘em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Quote Thanks for watching! The worst part when people dump mattresses, TVs ETC that can be recycled for free. Heck, for the last year or so where I live you can take in 9 tires per day for free even with wheels on them. I guess its still easier to just dump it in the woods.

Eagle Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Great video, and a super concept. When I was active in NAXJA I participated in a couple of trail clean-ups in the Pine Barrens in New Jersey, and one clean-up of a power line trail in Rhode Island. None of those were nearly the scale of the Gambler 500, but they were multi-club events. And yes, it's astonishing how much trash trashy people throw out. For the Rhode Island clean-up, one of the guys worked for a trash hauling company. His boss donated the use of a 40 cubic yard dumpster, including the tipping fees. We filled it -- and beside it we had a mountain of trash large enough to fill two more 40-yarders. Tires are a problem. I'm envious of 9 FREE tires per day. At my town's transfer station, they charge $10 per tire -- and the tires can't be on rims. Small wonder people just drop them on the side of the road.

Htchevyii Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I usually grab anything I can stuff into my recycling bin and anything else that they take for free when we're out, plus I can usually get an extra bag per week in the garbage can. It takes all the self control that I have not to go throw bags of trash on someone's porch when I find stuff with names and addresses. Especially in CA they seem to be looking for every reason they can find to close off areas. The Gambler is a good combo because you get to do a good deed and have some fun!

WranglerMangler Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 As tempting as it is to take revenge on someone littering, I would personally warn against it. I have 4 bullet holes as a constant reminder that it’s easier just to throw it away yourself. Story and pictures on “Minche” thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htchevyii Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yikes, I read your story. Glad you made it through it. I guess that it makes sense that if you have zero respect for human life you certainly don't have any respect for the earth and public lands.

Now, as much as it infuriates me, I just let it go. Never know what nut job your approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
