YKYO, when the only hangers you had in your apartment
Were! 😂😂😂

I have some imprinted ones from New Orleans with the wire part galvanized and the wood varnished and a 4 digit phone number. But it's too late for me to go in the attic and get a photo. After my father passed away I gave away his coat but kept the hanger. I wish I had kept the coat instead.

Me too...so we're old!
"I’ve seen clothes on metal hangers for decades with rust stains."
My wife is finally getting rid of clothes we had since the 70s!
I've still got 8 pairs of my heavy warm socks I used for coonhunting in 1980. They are the only old clothes I have that still fit.

AAAHHHH, but which one pulls 100 pounds up the hill faster?
Yeah…because pulling 100 pounds is soooo useful in a truck. :rolleyes:

It should satisfy both torque and horsepower lovers that a top fuel dragster produced around 7000-8000 pound feet of torque and 8500-11,000 horsepower. ;)

I’m a torque junkie.

Lets take a Cat C-13 with 400HP and a Ford Powerstroke with 500HP

Which one pulls more weight up a hill? ;)

I took a ride with a guy in a twin turbo c13 to haul my D5 dozer home and i think it was 550 hp instead of 400 but that truck would smoke a powerstroke. My Volvo is 405 hp and would still smoke my 6.7 Cummins or my dad’s 6.7 powerstroke in an uphill pull. The Volvo shifts slow so it would probably lose a race but for an uphill pull the smaller trucks can’t match twice the torque and twice the gears. My Cummins exhaust brake is better than the powerstroke but the Volvo smokes that as well. The Volvo is rated to resist 550 hp and will twist the frame down when it’s downshifting.
