I can testify to the increase in pucker factor when you look in the rear view and see the towee attemting to pass.
I managed to get safely off the road in spite of some knuckle-dragging, mouth breather that decided he couldn't wait to pass until I had safely stopped. Just as he got beside the...

Using used motor oil and gasoline (50/50 mix) my fuel cost me about 90 cents a gallon.

I would be interested since my tow bar dissapeared from a former members shop.
That particular boondoggle was called the "Land Train".
Another idea that looked good on paper but was a nightmare in reality.
There was a junkyard in Yuma, AR, that had parts of one of them left that they bought out of Yuma Proving Grounds. I don't think they ever went into production and only...
I have driven several out (including the one yesterday).
They are good folks to work with.
Teresa, the head GL person, rocks as far as customer service goes.

I had my...
Well....I found a anti-aircraft gun sitting in a guys front yard.
The tale behind that was really bizzare.
It's still there rusting quietly while I figure out a way to bamboozle him out of it.
James...I told you it was addictive....now you have a start on getting a collection.
You were a great help and I hope you got good skinny.
If you need help recoveriing them let me know.

Went back today and drove one back to the new LZ......it is a stout little runner...prob won't part it out.
I'll be heading back Friday to get...
Parts is parts.
You can use them yourself or "go to a rally and horse trade with your low life buddies" (quote from my ex-wife).
If you have the time and money go for it.
Jim,
I am going up there next Tuesday to look as some deuces I bought.
PM me the lot and item numbers and if nobody has checked it out by then I'll be glad to do it.
Do you need it picked up...I may be driving my bob deuce up there.....if so I can snag it if the EUC has cleared and you end me...
