CalTrans brings us an asphalt mix design at the plant, there was something really odd about it my mentor and I noticed. More we looked more we thought "This is not gonna work." Our Sales Dept says "Do it! It's their money." 6 weeks later they were grinding up their 300 ton "That's the way they do it in France." experiment.
Somebody is going down the rabbit hole
Amazing how many "car crashes into house" videos are out there with all these doorbell cameras
We have a lot happening here in town. I wondered why until I bought my Colorado pick up. The brake and gas pedals are too close together. I have stepped on the brake and hit the gas at the same time. The harder you try to stop the faster it rev's. The way you set in the seat, you don't think about lifting your foot completely off the gas pedal to apply the brake. There is no pivoting your heel between the two. 50+ years of driving , I have never owned a vehicle that did that. Until now.Somebody is going down the rabbit hole

I found the roundy round interesting in that we have always been told to give the right of way to the car to your right - not now, yield to someone from the left. Here I blame politics. I will not yield to the left. Sorry in advance Mike.

My full Silverado actually had a power adjust gas pedal. Very handy.We have a lot happening here in town. I wondered why until I bought my Colorado pick up.

I have noticed what certain manufacturers have the center console really tight toward the driver's right leg, which I think causes some limitations in being able to pivot/ rotate between accelerator and brake
Crazy, looks like residential and he was hauling the mail!!!

Thoughts and prayers Mike
HMMM I have already made all our reservations.....and all paid for in advance, at each hotel, did not use any service, called each place and made reservations....
So that trans place sent me a shim kit.... and they are the wrong size... even says so on the stupid box... unreal. How do places like this stay in business. . gonna throw it back together, it will have .065 endplay which is fine... just not ideal.. kinda pissed i lost 2 weeks on these assholes.
Bummer Ray, was looking forward to meeting you.
Damn! Was looking forward to seeing you guys again.
