    ROFLMBO ! ! ! rofl rofl I am reminded of the sandwich shop in the neighborhood of my Junior High School in New Jersey (no cafeteria in the school 1969-1971). They had a BIG SIGN behind the counter where you placed your order warning.... WE EXTEND CREDIT TO ONLY THOSE 90 YEARS OF AGE OR...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month November 2020

    WOW ! This months candidates are ALL WINNERS in my opinion. The choice was a difficult call (but thankfully we avoided escalation to the Supreme Court) and my twitchin' votin' finger has finally spasmed on one selection. May the best MV win! Thanks to ALL who submitted nominations.

    guesses on handling characteristics in ice, snow, normal alaska road conditions...

    I don't see mention of your engine RPM at your seemingly estimated speeds. It is presumed that your speeds were not from your now-uncalibrated-speedometer, without compensation for the considerably larger tires. Are the speeds noted from "visual guesstimations" of your ground-speed? If so...

    Ah, yes. We love our furry faithful assistants. Our canine herd is down to just two. We have our 10 year old "granddog" Einstein, a Yorkie. And Hound Dog, a 14+ year old (now 101 in dog-years) Redbone Coon Hound who is the "Daddy's dog" who follows me EVERYWHERE. I practically cannot go to...

    Branch of service affects value?

    Simple answer: It's all about "What a willing buyer will pay a willing seller." If the branch of service is important to the buyer, then the price he/she might pay will presumably be higher. If the branch of service matters not, then it is NOT a game changer. Some might argue that the branch...

    Hello from Pennsylvania

    Small world, isn't it. Funny thing.... I also learned to drive there. First street legal vehicle was a WWII Jeep with a snow plow on the front - although I was too young for a license yet. We did the sidewalks along the main street (Kearny Avenue) with it, while the Jeep J-10 plowed the...

    Hello from Pennsylvania

    LOL I chose Texas upon my discharge from the USAF in 1979. Loved the winters in PA, but prefer the wide open spaces here. We were blessed to have a summer (and some weekends) place on Lake Silkworth (west of Nanticoke/Wilkes-Barre). Our home in Kearny, NJ was exactly 8 miles to-the-foot west...
