    Heading to Feltz Auto & Tire on 10/18/12

    Is that where Highway 10 splits off to the west off Hwy 13? I saw a bobbed deuce there this year once, that must be the place, eh? Scott

    Need R2 crash truck photos

    VPW in Iowa has one of those, probably a parts truck. I saw it there last month. They might have some take off parts for you from that one. Scott

    Island extraction: PR to IN

    I did notice over the years looking at trucks at PR, USVI (and Guam), that they are pretty rusty compared to stateside. I wouldn't even want to guess what freight is to the states. Scott

    LFI: Salvage yards in Wisconsin Area

    I don't believe there are any mil. veh. salvage yards in WI. The yards close to Sparta were all cleaned out over the past 10-15 years of this stuff. I knew a good one in Tomah, but that is all gone now. Now, equipment is purchased and scrapped out almost immediately to recover the money. Scott

    Not over in Wisconsin, group plans constitutional amendment on road funding

    Here's the link to the article. Local roads could see funding jump under proposal - JSOnline What's the benefit of a hybrid car when the state/gov. would tax you higher to operate it? You already paid more for it versus a non-hybrid model. Kudos to those who want to use less gas and have...

    New M715 owner... almost

    I can assume you drove it first. (if not, why not?) Make sure the brakes work befrore you drive it home if that is your plan. Go slow and be safe. Better yet, just trailer it home and give it a once-over real good. Smell the gas, if it smells bad, you'll have to drain the tank and lines...

    Just got a M38A1!

    Does anyone make these vinyl decals? I know of a couple people making vinyl decals but the font is all wrong and they are too thin. My M715 has the original decals, but I need some for the M725 and M726, and the M38a1 for that matter. Mine is 2/54 del. and reg. number starting in 20100xxxx...

    Spring PoofStock 2012

    It is the middle of March and it is in the mid 70's already, so end of April should be in the 90's, right? I'd hate to drive my M725 down there in that hotbox. Maybe the windshield folded down on the M715 would be more appropriate. Scott

    Got the MV bug in Wisconsin

    Welcome from up north. Keep watching GL at Sparta/Ft. McCoy, they have alot of good trucks there. And watch GSA, the lot is at Waunakee, and they usually have some decent trucks there, too. And get to Iola for the military show in August. Scott
