I'm more confused now than when we started, fuel must really be expensive over there. Buy a compressed air car like I posted above. Then you have no fuel expense.
I'm not allowed any money either,we must be married to the same woman. :shock: :lol:

jonboy I remember passing through Denver, and seeing concrete blocks attached to cables swinging from over-passes. Also remember guy's flipping rocks, bottles and bricks off of over passes. Can't say they were actually trying to hurt anybody, but the potential was sure there. All over something that drivers had zero control over. I was a rookie then.

I saw a show the other day on these cars. They'll range from $7000 to $25000. Personally, I'm hoping they catch on and sell in great numbers so I can start putting my foot back in the Powerstroke. :lol: If you run out of air you can eat those, stick the airline up your butt and voila...fart your way back to the house.

I will exercise my right, given the chance, just like I do when I vote to remove lousy leaders. Everybody seems to want what comes in the truck, but not the truck, nor the driver. If the freight stopped, that would change. :idea: jonboy |
