Where are you?

I seriously hope that this individual wasn't sober.

You make that sound like a horrible thing.

A wet spot is a wet spot. Sometimes you just have to make it work. And as always, be wary of death from suffication. Don't let the fatties pass out on you.

I can understand the offshoots, having spent some time 'drag netting' on Plenty of Fish. There's a lot of whales in the sea, and some people prefer ones that are only of a certain race, religion, or background. Personally I got sick of whales, so I try to avoid the e-dating.

It will be a long time before they go away.

I believe they have CTIS. Even better than onboard air, when it works. However, that doesn't mean they instruct them to air down the tires in the event that they might get stuck. Also, I'm not sure if the CTIS allows you to air them down easily.

I don't believe that the military does. At least, in all the pictures I see of them getting stuck, the tires look like they're still as hard as a rock.

$20 bills are a bulky way to make large transactions. :yes:

How many is a 'bunch'? The Furd dealer here has sold about 3... I know, because my friend bought one, they told him it was the third, and I see his and two others from time to time. 3 is a horribly insignificant amount of sales for a dealer here.

Huh? Pretty certain most of the developement of those has been paid for by the US DOD. A tire that you can drive over calthrops, can take fire, doesn't need to be serviced (add air, for the people wondering what that means), and will dazzle the towelheads. Pretty much everything they want. And it'll probably be expensive too, so that's even better.

I dunno, doesn't seem like a horrible price for BC to me... But, I didn't really look at the ad, so I'm pretty much just typing gibberish... My point is that US and Canadian prices are normally quite different.

I think it's easier to swap the drivetrain. Also, know what you're getting into with the mechanical ones. The 1st gen has a weak pump, so you have to be careful not to kill it (bad fuel or lift pump failure are the major issues), however it is okay for cold starting with synthetic oil. Also, the first gen transmissions are generally pretty 'meh', the auto is not a lockup converter, and the manual is a Getrag IIRC. Most of them don't have an intercooler, which is a big minus. Don't jack with the fuel adjustments on them too much either, or use caution if you're going to. Also, watch for the steering box ripping off the frame (push-pull setup, junk), and rust or cracking near the spring hangers and fuel tank. Also, they drive like something that was designed in the 70s, because, well, it's a 70s chassis.

I try to find the non-enthusiasts. The people that have grampa's old rifle/shotgun in a closet, and never think about it, and aren't sure if they're legally supposed to have it... But, that's another story.

And if I make a post looking for firearms, it gets flagged and removed :fs1:

It's not worth the trouble. If you think the regular CL buyer is a PITA, just wait until you get the stoner CL buyers...

What's it about? I'm a little behind with popular culture, living in a snowbank in the middle of nowhere and all.

It does have that shape. Silly stoners.

I believe that the Raptor has been something of a monentary failure for Ford. Too high of production cost, too much stuff they were willing to warranty... I would not be surprised if they are gone and don't come back. Of course, I could be totally wrong. I'd get the stuff that you know the aftermarket will not be supplying later. So, I'd not bother with bumpers, or the rims unless you can't live without them. But a bed, certainly, and interior parts are never a bad idea (especially parts that tend to wear).

I really like that octopus.

Do you own guns? 'Cause they have fairly restrictive laws. As it's looking right now, Canada will soon have better gun laws than most of the US.

Well, at least your house isn't frozen solid. What sort of furnace?

Nono, they're 'Spending their way out of debt'!

That's not even 'You suck' territory. That's more in the range of 'I hate you'. $450! I wish I could find one for that sort of price... And that I had a shop.

Good deal then. Sears warrantees everything, but torque wrenches only for a year... That's why I thought CT might be the same. CT does NOT warranty some things beyond a year though. Micrometers, and I believe digital/dial calipers, and a few other things... Even though they are labelled 'Mastercraft'.
