Err, no. If I were worried I'd put a sand dune buggy flag on it. But I'm not, so I won't. I swear, some people spend way too much time trying to find things to worry about. That, or they're trolls looking to paint the E. as an unsafe time bomb.

I have LED turn signal flashers built into the truck mirrors. The passenger side never bothered me, driver side took a little getting used to, but I really don't notice it much now. Lights in your field of view, as long as they aren't bright enough to affect your night vision are just one of...

Not variable stroke, essentially variable length conrods, which changes the combustion chamber volume and thus compression ratio. Unless I'm seeing it wrong, which is possible.

Got any of the DeLorme state atlases? Handy as heck for backroading. I have WI, MN, and IA currently, will add more as my travels dictate.

Most farm and industrial equipment has a pouch on the back of the seat for manuals, etc. Wouldn't be a handy place for a firearm, but for paperwork, maps, etc., it would be good enough. I keep my registration and insurance card up in the visor on my vehicles, all other stuff is in the glovebox...

Yup. It wasn't long ago a 50 amp alternator was a big unit, 37amp Delcos were common on GM cars in the 70s & into the 80s. Now I have a car with a 100 amp, and a pickup with 140. Both my old generator equipped tractors have been changed to alternators. Much more reliable, and if one goes...

Forgot to add, it's much cheaper to make changes to fabricated parts than to change a stamping die, normally the dies are built after all the bugs are worked out and the design is completely finalized and approved. Some companies don't work this way however, and we've more or less rebuilt tools...

I've been in metal stamping for 20+ years. Yes, the tooling is fairly easy to transport, and usually built to common standards and able to run in many companies' equipment. Die sets are long lived - millions of parts per tool generally. There would be little need to have more than one tool...

I use the same app. I even track the fuel I run thru the mower... $127 last year, should just buy a dang goat. I can look and tell right away when the "winter blend" gas comes and goes, 2mpg gone. My car's in dash readout is about 1 mpg high, the truck is within a tenth suprisingly.

Are glove compartment weasels compatible with the trunk monkey? I want both. Safety first and all that, you know.

I don't own one, I got a brief ridealong in one, but they are a near ideal solution in ag applications - longevity and maintenance issues down the road will tell how ideal. They came on market only 15 years or so ago, and gain popularity every year it seems, and used still get a premium over...

Don't tell John Deere, Case New Holland, or AGCO that. CVT transmissions are becoming the new standard in high hp farm tractors. Towing? Check.

Probably not. It woul likely have leaked soon anyway, now that the season has started and journalists are looking for news every day. Cars nowadays go through 2-3 "generations" per year. SHR might not get the latest and greatest by the end of the season, to prevent giving away a technical...

Not really teaming with Roush, SHR will be building their own cars (a new thing for them, at least in the last 5+ years). They will be using Roush-Yates engines, but that's a separate operation from Roush Racing. And Jim, ya coulda been surprised here yesterday when I posted that! :D

Update: Heard on SiriusXM NASCAR radio that SHR will build their own cars, and use Roush-Yates engines.

This is a surprise to me, and probably most people. Stewart Haas to Ford next year. No word on alliances with any current Ford teams yet that I've seen. Source: Jayski. http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#20160224e

I was confused. Then Tracy Byrd cleared it up for me.

Apologies to the Danica fans here, just thought it was hilarious.

Escalators, actually, but yes. I really want to experience it myself next year. Jeff, that was not nice...I spent the race next to my favorite Kenseth fan and have bruises to prove it. I also got video Facebooked from Mexico by my 11 fan buddy afterward. Ain't technology great? All in all, a...

Sure do, but I only chase them once in a while for food. Pike fishing is a lot more exciting. My favorite is actually smallmouth bass, but I don't get to go after em as often as I'd like. And you want me to buy MORE baits? I'm gonna need more overtime! [emoji2]
