Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

In unrelated to car things does anyone here play Golf? Starting to migrate it into a hobby.. and would appreciate any pointers and tips! Seems very intimidating for newbies... :shock: Don't hit anyone with your club. Don't swing it like Happy Gilmore. There are certain clubs for certain shots. I do...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

Be careful, particularly if it's a genuine cargo van bereft of windows behind the seats. I had to rent its GMC cousin on a business trip. Not only did it have no center mirror (which wouldn't have shown anything anyway), but the side view mirrors had a narrow field of vision and lacked the travel t...

When you will have many patients who will be non-ambulatory and/or in less-than-full possession of their faculties, a low, wide drink container is more difficult to spill and a small one makes less mess if spilled. having worked medical - this. people with shaky hands or who easily drop things...sm...

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

hey tony, you used to off road, right? What does a 0-10 grade mean? I had a member in lime creek colorado, he said he was 3 feet down a bank. the 006 (colorado) club said that if he's 3 feet down a 0-10 grade it may be out of pocket. we don't have much rock crawling off roading here, only mudding.....

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately

So in michigan, some of our highways are split with legal u-turns in them, so you don't turn at a light, you go north to go south, or south to go north. Also some of our highways, like the east beltline (also known as m37 and m44) and m59 (hall street, on the east side of the state), have multiple J...

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately

I happened to be standing near the road as a brand new C7 Corvette Z06 came by, slowing down for the upcoming red light. There were some nice crackles and pops coming from the exhaust during engine braking. http://onlinemoneyadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/homer-drool.gif i've seen these! OMG...
