    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    He had a shoulder no matter what. It ain't his fault, but he paid the price. Sometimes you just gotta be responsible for yourself and there's no other way to say it.

    Solicitor repellant

    I just interrupt them by word two and tell them I'm a convicted felon and can't vote. That wraps things up pretty quick. Works good on people stopping you out front of stores, too.

    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    I'm sure the families of those involved will find significant consolation in that.

    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    Please see attached photo. This is where tractor man belongs when using his decidedly off-road vehicle to go long distances along a divided highway. Trucker was in the wrong, but someone going five under on the freeway is a lot less likely to be hit (much more relative time between vehicles)...

    He just runs right over old farm tractor

    He was on a divided highway going, at best, 25mph. Trucker was in the wrong, but tractor man is the one that lost. Just because it's legal doesn't make it wise.

    Don't rewatch the video if you don't want to see it, then. Farmer Bob just found out why it's illegal to ride Mopeds and horses on the Interstate. Sorry to say it, but that's Darwin.

    New Challenger - deep discounts again

    They're not selling them that cheap around here. I'd like one with just about any engine, so long as it doesn't have the government shutyoudown package that's about to become mandatory.

    MIA

    68383GTS hasn't been around in awhile. He had a smallblock overdrive bellhousing I was talking to him about, and I don't know if I just pissed him off or what, but he's been silent since February.

    I saw my first Tesla truck today.

    "look at me! Look at me! My parents didn't pay enough attention to me!" That's what I see.

    Leaf spring question

    Hypothetical question, but I would assume to be in favor of keeping the leaf spring system.

    New EPA regulations allowing E15 fuel to be sold starting this summer.

    Just add water! Stir it up. Let it settle. Then, siphon off the de-alcoholed fuel!

    Leaf spring question

    I've looked at fiberglass and carbon fiber leaf springs to save weight. Problem is, they break, and they're mono leaf. Do people ever run a steel single main leaf with fiberglass or carbon fiber leaves for the rest of the stack? No breaky breaky but still lighter than a pile of steel.

    Old Internationals

    I'm pretty sure stopping those old trucks just relied on rolling resistance, wind resistance and good luck. Curious for answers.

    Disowning Family Members

    You can pick your friends And you can pick your nose But you can't pick your family I had a falling out with my mom and didn't talk to her for seven years. Even now, I hear from her 2-3 times a year, mostly. My girlfriend sees that I've done what I can, it's on my mom. I talk to my dad weekly...

    the USS New Jersey battle ship.

    When I worked in the physics program at umkc, we got a huge Navy grant. One of the professors got a 12" square, 1/2" thick steel plate that had about an 8" hole in the middle. The hole was pulled through, like a bullet hole. It was a rail gun target that the Navy gave him as a souvenir. He had...

    the USS New Jersey battle ship.

    Unless your enemy has no air force, battleships are nothing but floating targets. There simply aren't enough land-based enemy targets within range of the shore, and any major naval opponent has aircraft carriers. That said, I certainly wish we still had stuff like that.

    the USS New Jersey battle ship.

    I've been watching their Youtube videos on battleship New Jersey for awhile now. The engineering in a ship that old is simply amazing.
