I can shop right here in my home town. When I visit some interesting place, the last thing I want to do is spend my time indoors shopping. === The LL Bean store in Freeport is well worth a visit. It is as much a cultural icon as it is a store. The only thing I've seen that even comes close is one of the really big Bass Pro stores like we have here in south Florida. Seriously, not trying to troll, but I have never been to anything like you describe. Can you be more specific? And of course the most important question, is "is there food there"? LOL! BPS here in Ft Myers has a pretty good restaurant, a couple of big aquariums and occasionally they have little product shows. The parking lot is full of BOATS There I actually used the "B" word! They are a Tracker/Mercury dealer. It is a 2 story megamart for sportsmen with all sorts of outdoorsy things. (fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, boating, pull toys/skis and outdoor yard games) There's a nice BPS just south of BWI Airport in Hanover, MD, that's very similar, in a huge mall. No restaurant in the BPS store, though. Haven't been up there in a while, heard there's a casino near the mall now, so probably won't go back. Wait until they build the new casino at National Harbor, just south of the Woodrow Wilson bridge on the Maryland side. I predict that the casinos in the rest of Maryland will migrate to National Harbor within 3 to 5 years. PG County needs something to entice it's government into more graft and corruption. Hell, it's almost as bad as DC, which some total fools want to see granted statehood. Are the morons who run your state still planning to force women into having vaginal probes, or is that now on hold? Doesn't your collection of 350 movies on your storage device provide you with enough vaginal probing? |

Yeah, but it's a very good hauling machine. With 360 HP and 460 ft/lb of torque, it'll move stuff. You just don't get that for free if you have to go gas instead of diesel. ----------------------------------------- Ford's V10 is one of the few gasoline engines that has the torque ratings of some similar sized diesels. It's too bad it developed a reputation for spitting out spark plugs. Strip the threads out? Had a Honda SL-350 dirt bike that did that on both cylinders. Thanks for Heli-coil inserts!! ------------------------------------------------ That was Ford's fix for a while. The problem is that a Heli-coil in aluminum isn't any stronger than the original thread, so it would sometimes happen again. Ford blamed shade tree mechanics, claiming they were over-tightening the spark plugs when replacing and stopped doing warranty repairs. The spark plugs don't need to be change but every 100,000 miles these days. |
