Anyone know if the $600 minimum still applies during the "live" phase? If not, some of us, myself included who couldn't or weren't willing to risk that amount may have an opportunity to get in on a smaller scale. I was one of those that was interested to the tune of $300 and disappointed when...

I admit, I was losing faith for a while last night. I'm watching it on DVR now. GB really needs the offensive line healthy and aa receiver or two to step up if we expect to have a chance in January though.

You forgot "Hold my beer and watch this!"

So, by that logic I should have sued GM when one of their vehicles WITH a rear camera, mirrors, and warning beeper, backed into mine? They could have prevented it by locking out reverse for drivers too stupid to use it. It was said above, we need to bring back personal responsibility -...

Yessir. I'm thinking of a winter place somewhere between Nashville and Panama City in the middle of nowhere. No Retirement World™ for me. I hate golf and they wouldn't let ya fish in the ponds where I visited older friends in FL last winter. Yup, I are a redneck, lol.

This, among other things: I'm to where a long weekend somewhere warm mid winter will get me through. I'm about 15 years away from snowbird status though.

It is, and I think part of the blame lies in modern technology. FWD/AWD, ABS, traction control, etc. A whole generation now has probably never driven an old school car on snow and fail to realize how slippery things are till they cross the line. My first ride was a 69 Chevy C10, that took a lot...

Maybe the infamous Elio basher who started here as a guy and came back as his "niece"? I forget the screen names. [emoji3]

Best of luck to ya tomorrow, RU, time for me to turn in here as well; II:L IIRC.

Well, since I seem to have plenty of time to kill, I'll resurrect this thread for another winter season. (New members can check the 1st post to see what it's all about). Play along again if you'd like. Today would be NE day #1 - not based on how much snow we got, just that it's the first...

While you guys are right, it does give them dimensions for the final mounting brackets, likely a steel "L" bracket that would attach to a nut molded into the fender and a hole with a self tapping bolt on the frame side, to give some adjustability. I'd like to see that frame tube bolted as well...

And have no fear, RU, you still are a hippie! :D

Kubota has offered an air conditioned cab on their RTV for years. It's more of a work machine, but would suit my uses if it fit my wallet. Edit to add: most of the UTV makers have had at least a rudimentary cab with heat available on their work machines for a while. This is just moving the...

Yawn. What yuppie really wants this? What's next, enclosed snowmobiles with heat?

That would be Mills Fleet Farm. You guys not in the upper Midwest are missing out on that. We call it "The Man's Mall" Cabelas has 3 stores within 2 hours of me, Bass Pro has 0, so this will help them up here. A local marine shop just started selling BP's Tracker and Party Barge boat/pontoon...

Still the same with the E motor, it is not direct injection, the fuel air mix still comes in at the same time through the valves vs a di engine where fuel is sprayed directly into the cylinder at the optimal time.

I found this in the IAV pdf, can one of you electric guys expound on this: I'm well aware that ICE engines have a sweet spot, but always assumed electric had a fairly flat efficiency curve. Is it a big enough deal to warrant the use of a transmission, or is this more to allow use of a smaller...

Is it a jacked up version of this: http://www.viamotors.com/vehicles/electric-truck/ Lifted trucks are for suburban mall warriors. They don't WORK well at all, bed height sucks, big drop hitches needed, gooseneck/5th wheel is out, and snowplow geometry is puckered up. This concludes today's...

I know ins. varies by location, but liability only on my commuter car adds less than $200/yr to my policy. Full coverage on a $7000 vehicle shouldn't be horribly bad, but even if it wipes out the fuel savings for the first couple years, it's just another cost of ownership. That's the number I...

Sorry, I did not. I work evenings. People serving the country, military/police/fire/EMT/etc are also in my book as OK, and if they miss a note or 5, it's forgiveable as they're generally not professional singers. The Blackhawk's fairly famous now anthem singer fits this - I believe he is/was...
