It's also missing the gravy.

Needs 2 eggs to moisten the bacon as you crunch it. Just dip it in the eggs and have at it.

Kinda reminds me of most house garages that I pass where there's easily more than $50,000 in cars parked  outside, and $250 worth of junk piled in the garage...

Found this and wanted to share.

The Gigantic 180 Meter Long US Army Land Trains Of The 1950s

The Texan company, LeTourneau, was instructed to design these huge land trains in the 1950s by the US Government.

The United States Army got three units built (experimental ones) and the largest reached a length of 600 feet (183 meters), which holds the official record for being the longest vehicle that is off-road.

Road trains are still in use today, in some roles, but the Army examples (along with a few other derivatives) seem to be the only models which were built as off-road land trains.

LeTourneau was based in Longview Texas and produced heavy equipment, in the early 50’s the came up with the idea of utilizing a diesel/electric transmission that would drive multi-wheeled vehicles.

Each individual wheel would be driven by a separate motor, which served to give better traction as it spread the force out across a number of wheels.

These vehicles were basically the same as locomotives of this time but had rubber wheels instead of steel
