A few "Firsts" are coming...

Reminds me of a World’s Dumbest Criminals episode, where a drunk guy got caught fornicating with his 90’s Bronco in a parking lot. The part that made me laugh was that he rubbed his butt on it afterwards 🤣

Not *with* the car, *IN* the car....🤦‍♂️

I'd get a Slate tattoo in exchange for a free truck

Trucknutz ?

I once got cut off and brake checked by a moron in a wannabe monster truck going to Lowes. When I got there ...guess who... well I got a can of bright blue spray paint while I was there...

Probably not a huge difference I dont know though. I didnt even find out about it until the morning of the 25th (which I immediately plopped money down).

It is going to be fun finding out what the differences are. Mine is from Feb 26. Will my window be in 2028?

Not a lot of Ham's here, first ti put a 2m/440 Dstar in one.

Already have the mounting kit..... 73's

Um...
How do we get proof of #3 without the Slate Forum Admin immediately deleting the post?
I'm guessing the Admin would allow a photo of the Slate's bed looking "unmade" and warm to the touch, but what would such a photo look like?

🤔

footprints on the dashboard upside down.... (lyrics from a NSFW song)

I intend to be the first to convert mine into a one-person camper with the cargo top. (my wife has proclaimed her camping career over) I'm hoping the passenger seat is a quick removal and re-install. Theoretically I should be able to lay down diagonally across the bed portion but additional room would be nice. Also hoping that a way to rig the back glass or tailgate to open from the inside can be found.

The company that makes truck bed tents should add this to the offerings.

First Slate with tracks.

Northern Maine reservation holder approves this post.

Knuckle tats don't traditionally include the thumbs, but you could then get "BLANK SLATE" across both hands.
(Or "BLAN KSL8" the traditional way)

First overloaded trailer because the user thought the 2000lb leak was real.

*edit lol this is so dumb 😂

I can imagine the different configurations and colors folks will have of their Slates. Hanging out at different parking lots.

I am 100% looking forward to this in real life. I bet these kinds of meetups will be the best way to comparison shop for accessory parts!

1. Person to get the 1st delivery window and take possession
2. Person to total their truck
3. Sex (factory workers not eligible)
4. Run out of battery away from a charger
5. Drive it cross country as an adventure blog

What others can you think of?

Can't wait to be #2 as mine's gonna be outside in hail country. Took a video of the roof of my Fit recently to show someone:



That's on the roof, and hood, and entire driver's side, including all of the window trim from hitting quarter size hail @ 45mph. And then three more storms afterwards.

My coworkers at the plant on the other side of town got hit with hail bigger than golf balls that blew out windows, so I'm expecting to be the one that tests how strong those panels are!

Edit: From my group chat earlier this season:

First driven into a lake for insurance fraud

The first Bugatti Veyron that did that was actually caught in the act. In '09 they were so uncommon and talked about that some people in a car on the along-side highway wanted to video-record one they saw driving by. Ended up being the proof they needed to prove fraud:

Expect it to be so talked about for a while random people will be taking pics and videos of you, so don't pick your nose and drive!
