Lake Superior RAPIDLY WARMING!
"Capt. JG" wrote in message ions... I have no problem allowing people to drive SUVs the size of a big rig. All they have to do is agree to pay for the privilege, including higher fuel costs, pollution tax, insurance, etc. That should also cut out a lot of the morons leaving rubber at one stop light after another, so they can be the first to the next stop light. Surely higher fuel costs come automatically if you buy something like a big SUV? |

A four cam truck who would have ever thought it. The engine possibly looks cool, but it is so buried that you can't even see it. Takes two hours to change the plugs. A flathead takes two minutes. Book said to change them at 100 000 miles, but they were still good. Casady |

When paperbacks and magazines, as well as cigs, were a quarter, so was gas. Quarters were harder to come by then, than ten bucks is now. Relatively speaking, gas is cheaper now than it was when it cost a quarter. Ninty years ago an oz of gold would by you a hundred gallons. Gold is now a grand, and you can get some 400 gal for an oz. When tens of millions of idiots stay off the waterways, so much the better. Two things about the " Pig ". It will tow the one ton Starcraft, or for that matter the John Deere. Deer, or, God forbid, bikers or jaywalkers, will end up in the grill and not your face. We live just outside of town, and see deer every day. Bambi has already totaled one of my vehicles. Iowa lets the victim keep the deer, but it ran away. Another advantage is that you can see over the tiny ****boxes that get such marvelous mileage. Simple high school physics tells you what happens when a ****box hits you. They lose, but they saved money. Their bad luck I suppose. If it is all they can afford, it is. By coincidence, a Model T Ford got about the same mileage as the Pig. Casady |
