That is incorrect. I have certifications to do repairs on such air brake systems and that is exactly backwards. The parking brake works like that, but the regular brakes are controlled by applying air pressure.

I have no idea what her mama cooks, but if she parks anywhere around here (unlikely.  It’s a long drive from Texas to Portland.) I’ll be the first one in line.

A bullet to the balls?  Is there a queue?

I regret that I have but one star to give to your comment.

I’m still mad about that. A man with more integrity than any person in the Republican party I can currently name. He resigned specifically to point out the hypocrisy of the Republican party members in similar situations. I applaud him, and wish he was still in politics.

Nah, it was easy! We had a house with a fairly wide overhang, and a sidewalk that went around about 75% of it. Between the sidewalk and the house foundation was a flower bed about 2 feet wide. We lined it with weed fabric and covered it with the pea gravel. That made it super easy to maintain. Weeds pulled right out…

The interesting thing is, the whole “rescue Harley” thing was originally supposed to be the A plot instead of the B plot. According to James Gunn, they toned that part down considerably. Which I think I agree with you needed to be toned down more. It feels like we have two movies going on here. Like the whole Starro…

4-door pickups are the new Mall Crawlers.  People don’t buy them to be a truck, but to haul their families around in.  When I was a kid my Grandfather always had a pickup, which he used for work and to haul stuff.  My Grandmother had a car, and if we needed to go somewhere with more than two or three people we took…

I was shocked, actually. I told the guy to put a half-scoop in and he did. Then I rolled across the scale and did the math and it was about 1900 pounds. Okay, not quite a ton, but pretty close. The little truck waddled down the road sitting on the booster springs while I prayed to Buddha the 2-ply tires didn’t explode.

We live in a world where people say things like “A pickup without four doors is useless.” This is why we can’t have nice things. People confuse wants with needs.

I see that thing has seating for five passengers with the bed folded up. The sleeping arrangements are going to be a bit cramped, or friendly, depending on your tastes.  😏

I had a 1969 Datsun pickup and it was one of my favorite vehicles of all time. Compact, easy to drive, could haul a mountain if you could fit it in the box, and saint’s above actual tiedowns formed into the outside of the box. I hauled so much shit in that little pickup. Underpowered? Sure. But it would go down the…

Who’s Milton?

I want  him to build me a Lancia Stratos.  

So many many problems with BOP. I wanted to like it, but really couldn’t.

No, but it’s possible he defeats his allies that way.

Exactly. A well reasoned analysis that I agree with.

It’s already one of those white rubber roofs, and I’m actually partially shaded by some trees.

Back in the day when I was a kid it was rare to see cars or homes with air conditioning. A luxury rather than a necessity, in a place where the temperature rarely went above the mid 80's.
