Your diesel gets good gas mileage? Interesting.

Not as good as my diesel


Edit: I should say Andrea's diesel.... my diesel only gets 20mpg but a 42 gallon tank gives me great range, after I swap in a second 30 gallon tank from a 4 door tahoe of the same year, even better.... hers gets 48

Ha. A buggy on 54s with a FJ40 hood, that's what.

I like the stance though. Those are some serious meats.

54" Boggers on 14"x20" wheels, double beadlocks, Detroit, ARB, 521ci, 8274

Deadly combo. Homeboy does not play.

It's test day again here in Room 431. See any similarities?

Is the gyration involved or are they just going to stare?

I figure it is kind of like a swing on the playground, you can crest the upper bar with some good energy

Depends if she's wearing that sail of a dress, right? I'll say nothing else.

I think you need to add more variables, like what is their ages, how sweaty are his hands....

Is the vine attached to a winch line on the 45?

 

[izzyandsue]

and you know she is lying about her mass, need to add that factor there too.

Over the past week, I have been enjoying one particular button on my Touareg. That toasty steering wheel is just it for me. Keep the heated seats. Even when I lived in the frozen tundra for 15 years, only used heated seats a handful of times, I think they're a waste. But that steering wheel hotness, where have you been all my life!?

While I don't like Glamping (RV's or large pull behind campers) I don't hate on people that do it. Different strokes for different folks.
It's just not my bag, I would rock an adventure trailer of small pop up that could be taken up some trails to some nice remote spots in the mountains to camp, but larger things are nor for me.

I would however have bought this thing if I had hit the jackpot last night

Even though it broke down 2 miles away?

 

[lt1fire]

If I had hit the jackpot i'd have one waiting every 2 miles

Really though a Mog or Kamaz turned into a 4x4 expo vehicle would be much better in my eyes

I have been wanting to get a nice pocket watch for years. I love the mechanical aspect of them but they also have a rich history in the railroad industry. Also there are many that are well over 100 years old and still keep good time. I picked this up off of the 'bay for a decent price. The case is not original, but I wanted something I could carry and not a safe queen. This one was made in 1927 and runs well. It will run for over 24 hours on a full wind. It should run about 40 hours. It needs to be cleaned, lubed, and adjusted. It loses about 5 minutes a week.

Anyone else have a RR grade pocket watch?

 

[JohnVee]

@lowtops Always wanted one, never bought one. I should start shopping. And I love the large numbers on yours.

 

[izzyandsue]

I would call that a "time piece", not a watch. But I am a watch snub. It is beautiful, regardless, great find. Ball is another brand that used to make RR chronos, great mechanical movements. I think the phrase "train on the ball" came from that, some lure I read somewhere.
