I've been on a train, I've been on a plain, AND I've been on a cruise ship.

So other possible horses: a hot air balloon, a deep water submarine, a 200mph race car, a 20 ton semi (checkbox for @ebinmaine), parachute, and maybe a flight above 60,000 ft? (none of these by me)

Anything else to take us further off the topic? :text-offtopic:  :laughing-rolling:

Yeah why not. 

 

One of the very few video games I ever got into was Gran Turismo 2 on PlayStation back in December of 1999.

I've jumped out of both trains and planes.  :occasion-xmas:

 

@AHS, did you decide on a 1st horse yet???   I would go with a Short Frame Square Hood.

There’s too many to choose from! Again, I’m torn between the 76 B80... such a little workhorse! Or the 87 414-8... certainly no power problems there! Or the 857 that I currently have... that isn’t running.. but will be!! I will be cruising around on that with a smile ear to ear!!

I never played that one, ,but as I recall it was pretty popular. I'm still playing Nascar Racing 2003 on PC.

HaHa, I still have that, I built a racing cockpit out of 1" square tube and a junkyard seat with a 32 in hdtv and nice sound system.

With ease, yes.

Interesting caveat to that is I can't remember what I did a week or two weeks ago but I can remember 20 or 30 years like it's nothing.

No kidding. That's pretty awesome.

We have a friend up here that loves simulated flying.

She has a cockpit that is basically made out of a black plywood cube probably 4 ft wide by 5 ft high by 6 ft long or a little smaller. 

Full set of overhead and dash control switches that are all live and five or seven screens to represent different window positions.
