Is my truck DIR?

[Mako Mark]

I was wondering, if my truck has a cd player is it NOT DIR???

It is a non essential piece of equipment, that while I really do not see any potential problems with it and I do enjoy it, it does not need to be there.

So should I remove it??

C'mon, H2Andy, give us an answer.

I would argue that tunes are "essential" in any vehicle.

They are a necessary component of your travelling gas. Without them your truck simply produces Carbon Monoxide and releases it into the atmosphere. In some environments this could poison the driver.

With tunes you are producing a "tune enriched" atmosphere, which is arguably better for the environment and the driver. The tunes have a tendency to motivate you to keep moving and thus lower the possiblility of elevated levels of Carbon Monoxide.

A driver with "Tune Supersaturation" will also be better able to deal with the task loading brought on from a high traffic environment.

So, I think tunes in the truck are definitely DIR.

I believe the "official" DIR dive vehicle is a white van.

DIR radio needs to be streamlined and not cause any accidents while driving. It's should be relatively simple to change station, either via voice commands or with conveniently mounted steering wheel controls. Audio levels should not exceed 186dB, since this would cause permanent ear damage. It should be either black or blue, can't have a yellow or pink facia. It should be waterproove, just incase you accidentally spill you Starbucks coffee. That's all I can remember from reading my DIRF manual..........so, if it's not, please remove it.

But... wouldn't the steering wheel controls be an unecessary point of failure?

Maybe we could get some input from Spike or Fin Solo up in Canada.

I understand that they are experts in this vein of DIR configuration, due to all of the experience they have gotten travelling with the Spike Girls.

You know, one wrong move with the tunes and you could lose a Spike Girl!

If your CD Player has a problem..... and you can take it apart, clean it, fix it, reassemble it, and it works again.... all by yourself while still driving, then YES.... its DIR !!!!

Drew,

If a van were DIR it wouldn't be white. It would be black. It would also have two gas tanks and you and your buddy would both need one. The fuel gauge would be marked in 3rd's, the dashboard would be to the right of the diver and all the lights would be on the left. It would have 8 tires, two windshields, one of which would be foldable and could be stored in the drivers door-pocket for easy access in the case it needed to be replaced without stopping the drive. There would be nothing electronic, no CD player, no warning lights and certainly no dashboard computer. You would have to note your KM every 5 min along the way and calculate when to start breaking based on adding it all up in your head and the curve of the road you're on.

Naturally, a DIR van could go faster, further and longer than any other vehicle on the road but none of the that would, as owner of such a vehicle, make you feel superior to other drivers. OK, it might but you would claim it doesn't and fail to convince other drivers of your openmindedness.... You would also need to undergo extensive training to learn how to drive the van but most of that training would focus on how to remain absolutely still. In fact, you would be most proud of it's ability to go backwards, something other drivers can only do by turning around and driving the other way.

And finally, even though the DIR van was made for grinding it's way to the top of Mount Everest almost everyone who had one would use it for driving back and forth to the Wallmart.
