@JuanOxido: If liking the Plum Crazy Challenger is wrong, I don't want to be right.

@CABEZAGRANDE: I used to live in one of those premium gas dead zones. City of Gwinner, ND. The grocery store's pumps are 87 and 89, and the other station's pumps are 87, 89 and diesel. (They did have 91 till about 3 weeks after I moved to town, then decided there needed to be someone selling diesel in town.) A…

@FordTuffMcgruff: Heartclicky. The closest my bike's ever been to causing any real property damage was when a f***wad in a Trans Am decided to turn left at such a time that I could have kicked his right quarter panel in if my right foot hadn't been busy with the brake pedal, and it would have been that guy's fault.

I take back my ignorant "typical BMW driver" snark when Caswell overcooked the corner and went into the signs as the last car through this spectator spot at Ojibwe.

@Optixtruf: Honestly it seems high to me, but I suspect the Twin Cities are an influence. I've had times driving from Fargo to Minneapolis on I-94 that my comfortable, pass-most-everyone cruising speed in the high 70's suddenly isn't enough to keep up with traffic about where the limit drops to 60 before the 494/694…

Full disclosure: the last 1.5 years of my career, since the financiapocalypse ended my previous project, have been almost entirely toward implementing the interim Tier 4 off-highway standard on construction equipment, so I'm biased; if it weren't for these regulations I'd be back on my dad's farm already and would…

FWIW, the Fargo PD does have plenty of Crown Victorias. Here are a few doing a job last spring that I sincerely hope they don' t have to do again this spring.

Cass County, ND has a 06-08 Dodge Ram with concealed lights. Darn thing's invisible till it's too late. Half the time I see it it's parked on the shoulder behind someone who was unfortunate enough to not know about it.

@qwijybo: Ford's tractor division became part of New Holland in the early '90's. The Ford branding was dropped but the New Holland tractors are still blue.

The Fiat tractors were sold in the US for a while by hay-equipment maker Hesston. Today that's part of Agco.

@ptschett: Hrm..

double post, Nibbles you rock

@irishman72:

@mkbruin: I don't have any problem with them. I've had times I'd have rather had a live axle than my '96 T-bird's IRS, which is prone to massive wheel hop under certain conditions on launch and which was one of the reasons the MN12 cars came in hundreds of pounds over their weight target.

@JC Whitless: Not only can the tractor know where it is, it can do the steering for itself.

@RaptorConner: Other than the colors, that's about how my earliest hooning looked.

@grzydj: As a counter to these kinds of efforts, the motorcycle industry and the SAE developed a noise test that law enforcement agencies can use, with the intent that relatively quiet aftermarket equipment isn't unfairly discriminated against by badly-written laws that target the more-noisy aftermarket options.

@ptschett: one more try

@#c19873296: Imagine there's a picture of a red 1996 Thunderbird in this post

Affordable, RWD, two door cars where the rear seat isn't emergency-use-only for anyone above average height.
