Bingo. Dinkydee is paying attention...
Oh we're all paying attention. It's all happened before, and it will happen again.
Lame attempt to change the subject carpetbagger. You issued a challenge and it was answered. Now you are trying to ignore it. TROLL and a schill account!
I actually did respond. It may have been in a different thread by accident, or failed to hit submit due to a distracting phone call, or whatever... anyway, here's essentially what I wrote:
Monster trucks do not need landing ramps
The Mack truck does not have plugs the marauders could have "easily removed" to disable it
Humongous could not have used the fuel from the Mack in his rig
1. Monster truck fails: Expert drivers (who have unlimited resources and practice these jumps routinely), new properly fitted equipment, closed and carefully designed courses, slow speeds, medical personnel on site, etc. Most of these are relatively slow speeds and small jumps. The fast longer jumps often fail. Nothing like the one on MM4... Lots of videos on Youtube vids on broken suspensions, broken axles, driver errors, vehicle flips, blah blah blah... some of these simply catch fire and explode! Much too unpredictable and low level of success to attempt such a maneuver in the MM world (with the limited available parts and equipment), in my view... if you fail you don't just get some boos from the crowd... it's your life. Remember the two shotgun shells Max finds - both are corroded and fail. Same thing.

2. Truck was a 1970s Mack R600 Coolpower. Some think it had glow plugs, while some don't. Who knows really. Some diesels do have glow plugs, and some don't. Could be a factory engine, maybe replaced engine. Nobody could say for sure. This MM page states it did have glow plugs.

Glow plugs, heater grid, battery, etc. Heck, they could have just taken the key so it required the extra technical step of hot wiring it. You get the idea.
3. Humungus drove a highly modified vehicle - perhaps based on a Ford F150 chasis or some other heavy duty truck - that SOUNDS like a diesel when he starts it up and drives it. Clearly it also had NOS injection. Quite strong evidence that it was diesel, and he therefore could use any diesel found. Diesel would be a good choice in that world because you can also burn other fuels like biofuel, alcohol, etc.
Nice try though.
