Just don't let anybody steal your camels or you'll end up in Bartertown working for Tiny Turner

The xa 185 is only the best post-apocalyptic vehicle if your friends best post-apolalyptic vehicle is the school bus full of gas from The Road Warrior.

I'd still rather have a motorcycle...at least you can push it if you run out of gas and it only takes one camel to pull it! wink

Mules taste a lot like horse. I always found the meat had a slightly sweet taste, comparable to a beef round steak in texture and lean-ness. Mules are a bit more sinewy.

Oxen can get to have a bit of a wild taste if left to forage on their own. You can get mighty bowlegged riding an ox.

Llamas are good, but you can't ride them. Camels have too much attitude. Horses are generally less sensible in the bush than a mule, but tend to also have a better temperament and can go a lot faster.

I've seen pigs big enough to ride, but I don't reckon they would last long on the trail. Ever try to saddle a pig?

I've been in touch with the Autohome people and they're very prompt in returning emails. So far I love everything about them except the price. I guess convenience costs.

Why is it I hear more about Texans (myself included) trying to ride pigs? I guess riding horses gets boring after a while.

That's what I thought of when I looked at the picture of the Dobbertin Surface Orbiter.
