i will not complain about our armed forces needing land. ok, we can suck it up for the greater good in this respect. now, if they wanted to build a shopping mall or a housing plan (this is what we have to deal with in Pa), screw them!!! I believe in "tread lightly" but we are running out of places to do so. i will agree with jeepgal on that. my point, If you want to take my trail to train the marines ...I'm cool with that. if you want to take my trail because you want to build a dozen $500,000 houses on the land.....i will fight you tooth and nail!!! There was a popular off roading spot that i grew up near it was refered to as "the ponds" and they closed it off to build part of the disaster they call interstate 43. not only is it the most expensive hwy project outside of the "big dig" in boston. its also unneeded. they built the section from I-70 to Rt-51 first when they should have built from Rt 51 to downtown Pittsburgh first. Now they are out of money and can't build the rest of it. if you drive on the hwy at rush hour and travel the length beween 51 and 70 (about 20 miles) you may pass 1 other car in either direction!!!! building the pittsburgh end first would have aleveated traffic on the already clogged 51, and spared "the ponds". just an example i am sure i lost a few of ya.

I would pete but i am broke, used all the christmas money trying to get it inspected. which is a key in buying a bed. one of the ther guys offered me his and i simply don't have the money. youve seen my MJ you know i can't save the bed.

yeah taz i remeber when i was a kid, my dad had the lazer in turd brown and my mom had a daytona turbo Z in black ....i remember the scraping noise it made as she pulled into the garage and the ground effects rubbed the concrete

yeah, saw the thread and as a car nut i wondered why you would want one of these then i saw it is a thermometer. :brows: :nuts:

i wonder if the chinese XJ grille will fit on it? they are kinda similar...hmmm.

OZ, those were my thoughts exactly..... its a truck that we want ... not what the yuppies want. no leather, no nav system, .....nothing frilly and ugly

thats why you can't beat american muscle! you can do a burn out on level ground!

no, but the article says it is about the same size as a new tacoma. if you go to mahindra's website you will se pictures of people standing next to them and i would say the articles description is about right ...it just looks like its small with no surrounding. Btw, you can get those japanese mini trucks all over the usa .. they are starting to sell them here as side-by-side atv alternatives. i found this video of the aussie release of the mahindra truck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQuGYJ9uEiE

1. mahindra is an indian company (india not native american) that was started in ...i believe the late 40's. they have been importing farm tractors to the US for a while now...those are made in co-operation with international harvester. they produced jeeps for willys and currently produce jeeps for the india market. they have a home market version of the cj3b and willys wagon and up till the late 1990's still made the FC cab over truck (where do you think replacement body panels come from).

now mind you this is the same mahindra that was a jeep partner and still makes a version of the cj3b . I also forgot to mention the transfer case is borg warner.

mahindra is suppose to come here next year with a midsized pickup called the appalachian its a a 4 cyl bosch designed turbo diesel. The truck is expected to get 30 mpg and get this.. it s a 4x4 to boot the power is 150hp and 300lb-ft which should be more than adequate. as far as modern design the truck is ugly but, in my opinion its my kind of ugly http://www.pickuptruck.com/html/news/mahindra/dieselhybridandmore.html

man, i almost didnt come back from Ft Lauterdale. feb. 84 degrees me in shorts and warm even at night . .....damn being married thing!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

the Alumi-coupe was bad @$$, Boyd broke the mold of hotrod building

Thanks for the great years Myron!!!! You will be missed by so many! :( My mom listening to Myron got me into football. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

did you ever consider a kia Sorento? i realize its for your wife but you can steal it and go off roading! it is a little bigger rwd or 4wd and full frame. its a true truck.. but people overlook it .

I have friends in Boca Raton. I went to college at FAU so its time to go back and visit. I have to remember to stop at barnes and noble and grab a Pittsburgh book ( I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to move up here).

well I'm headed to ft lauterdale tomarrow after work. ill be back in a week catch ya on the flip side.

MAY I JUST STATE FOR THE RECORD......YOU SIR, ARE THE F-ING MAN!!!!!

it sure as heck looks like a 1998 motor. but you know what they say.... beware a wolf in cheap clothing!

no, seriously, if you can get the guy to hold it ill go when i get back.

wife said no and i don't want to cause myself heartbreak by going to look at something and not be able to buy it. however if you are seriously thinking about it tell him ill come look at it but it has to wait till after the 24th as I'm getting ready to go to ft lauterdale friday after work and I'm midshift all week. not to mention it is a hellofa hike from where i am for an afterwork jaunt.

ohhhh i so want this! this is exactly what i wanted. tried telling the wife i wanna sell the s10 and get it she said "not till its paid off" http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/563309837.html
