Not So Pro 3

My 1995 has abs, the 1981 F150 doesn't. I never said I didn't have that stuff, just that I don't like it. Ever driven on ice with abs? May as well not have brakes.

All the time, live in northern mn and yes some of the abs systems like the mid 90’s weren’t much good at anything else other then keeping you from skidding your tires in a hard stop on tar but they’ve come along way since then. Also I’ve noticed that down south most people run a summer tire vs all season which makes a huge difference on ice and snow. My cousin lives Kansas currently and their life stops for the day on the rare cases of snow on roads with a little ice ect. 2” of snow messes them all up since they aren’t used to it and have summer tires on.

This is the result of the use of my tool as a hammer by a theater fartknocker. Nice hole in my battery .

Damn son if your hands look like a 40 year olds now think what they will look like when you’re actually 40

@JoeDirt studies physics, maybe he knows some physics defying tricks.

I could use help in the gravity defying department. Can you send some of your upside down NZ gravity my way?

I have eczema and it gets really bad sometimes.

I lived in the northeast for the first 51 years, also did some high performance driving instruction with Audi and Bmw clubs. We even put on winter driving schools. I am well versed in winter driving, also, all season tire suck at everything. Always had a set of winter tires for anything that drove in snow. Bosch abs has always been the least intrusive abs, you could threshold brake without engaging it.

Stability control is a sore spot for me, I understand why it exists, but it interferes with driver control, and none of them can be turned off, and have it stay off. My wife's Honda traction control, but I don't track it, so it doesn't bother me. Lol

Won't work, the earth is flat, physics is all made up pseudoscience.

Try lotion next time you rub one out. You won’t get friction burn aka eczema.

5-6 months out of the year. Never had an issue.

Welding up cab corners and rockers isn't work?

Or replacing door pins and bushings?

My cousin has spare rims and winter tires, he always buys nokian hockipilitas may have butchered the spelling. I have no high performance vehicle so all season seem fine. Not tracking my wife’s 22 explorer wirh the skid plates or my truck. If i buy a mustang later it will have good tires because it will only be driven in summer. Down south on a non performance vehicle i believe a lot of the general public would be better off with at tires because they still are better on snow and ice than summer tires and on dry roads they won’t probably notice the reduced handling on their Prius or camery.

You have no idea how angry that makes me Gary. Lol

I guess you will be real mad to know that my truck has 15 different camera views, and transparent trailer view.

At least it’s just pins and bushings, for awhile gm was gluing the door hinges on and they were falling off in hot weather. Imagine the look on the owners face when they opened the door and it fell off

Man I’m old, I read that and immediately think of Smokey and The Bandit, the Sheriff’s white Caddy rolling down the freeway sans doors…

Hard to find somewhere that doesn't look like that. We have 6" on the ground and still coming down. Barely made it up the driveway. Had to go rescue a coworker that couldn't make it up a hill on his way home. Front drive is "not" good in the snow like some claim. Got his van safely parked, and drove him home. Got home about 3pm and been cleaning up ever since. Got to bring the goats more hay. Chickens won't leave their coop, and the guineas are staying put for once. Lol. Feels pretty nice out for 28 degrees, American!

Little hint neither do trucks, you’ll realize this after you look at you 900$ 3/4 ton. First thing being mn and Wisconsin use so much salt you need to look at the frame. If it’s a Chevy 2500 the frames like to gather salt and crack between cab and box.

Already looked at the frame, it is ok-good. My dad has a 2004 Chevy Colorado, that frame has lots of cracks and holes, he’s still driving it. Last summer I looked at a 90’s GMC half ton for sale, and I was able to stick my hand through the frame with room to spare, not kidding.

I don't spend much time towing, and I can see that usefulness. However, many can't function without it, which is disturbing. I glance at the one in my work van, and there are times when it is a blurred mess in inclement weather, rendering it useless. People should know how to use mirrors. I will be fine without backup cameras, and and stability and traction control.

My other grandma has a backup camera on her Chevy Equinox, yet still backed into my uncles new RAM 1500

Hung the US flag, mounted my Amish USG to the bench, and vacuumed.

Looking great!

I also have eczema.

 

[stihl livin]

I also have eczema.

I’ve heard soaking it inside her will cure this. Or was it in cider. Fml I don’t remember so maybe try both. Oh wait are unable to do the first one being still on the tit.

Is the 2014 Colorado what he towed 14k with 20 years ago?
