6x6 Trucks - what's the point?

[1971Chevelle]

I just don't get it. Not practical in any way.

Doesn't have to be practical to be fun.

Don't see how they could be fun, with the turning radius of the Titanic.

I see it more as a waste of money. Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should, but then again, why would you have a fleet of them?

Some people enjoy stuff we don't understand. Some people cant understand why we work on "old" cars, repair "old" lawnmowers, RV, etc. Heck, if I didn't have old stuff to fix I would be bored to death.

2 strokes, yeah, they rock. I'd hotrod my leafblower if I had nothing else going. The 6x6 isn't my thing, but I can get behind it. .... and if nitro wasn't so costly on parts, I'd build a nitro hemi and keep it on a stand, wheel it out to my front driveway and fire it up on special occasions....probably at twilight for more show appeal.

Kinda like a friend on mine that's spent mega $$ on horse stuff. Whatever floats your boat.

I guess, but I don't see the point in it..... maybe I'm too conservative?

I have an old Harley stroker with a carb, solid lift cam and I can "Fiddle" with it to see what makes it faster or slows it down, have another Harley that's FI, Dyno tuned with an addition Thing-a-majig on the computer but I can't "Fiddle" with it LOL...Now I want to see the guy with a Fleet of 8X8's
