Wheeled conveyance - or close enough.

Bicycles, skateboards, motorcycles, trains, automobiles, Lunar Rovers, conversions, heavy equipment, et. al., etc.

ABSOLUTELY NO E-SCOOTERS. ( unless in a damaged and inoperable state)

The article is from 2015, but damn man.

What's the best and coolest trash/garbage truck?


Personally I prefer the classic basic garbage truck. As far as noise goes garbage trucks are near the top of the list.

I've wanted to buy one of these for a longtime now. There were a couple I'd see around SF when I lived there. I had two early 70s mercedes sedans that shared the same gas engine that fit in these from the same era. I parted out one of them and sold the engine to some guy who drove from Colorado with a chain lift and helped him remove the engine. The sedan we moved it from had all the paint removed so it was all rusty and one of the spark plug mounts was stripped so it'd occasionally blow the plug out while driving and then the engine sounded like a machine gun. Good times. I cried when I had to get rid of the other sedan.

The Yellow Swans/Moth Drakula collab album that got put on Bandcamp mentioned in the description that MD had played amplified skateboards at some point, does there exist any footage of that?

On the subject of noise vehicles...
