When I bought my first pickup with all wheel ABS I had to learn to drive all over again. No more pounding down marginal woods roads, slamming on the brakes when a hazard appeared. Stopping on snow was/is ridiculous. After doing $300 worth of front end damage bouncing through a washout because...

I have come to like my alloy wheels. They don't fill up with ice and/or mud the way that steel wheels do. On occasion I've had to take the latter off, apply my heat gun and chop the ice and frozen mud out.

Let us know how you like it!

You know that you want one, you've been threatening to for years!!!:D;)(y)

Around here it's hard to find one which doesn't have all of the junk I don't want. I call them pimpmobiles... can I say that here? :unsure:

Stark Bros had fig trees on sale last fall. They said that in my zone it's best to pot them and vring them into someplace cool and dark for the winter. I was ready to order until I read that they grow to be 10 feet tall. That'd take someplace taller than what I have, accessible via tractor...

Welcome to TBN! Zombie thread, but two years ago I bought a Samsung designed for hard use. I never got around to buying a case but from that standpoint it's stood up well.

That's how I lost my shooting range. It's about 100 yards to my back property line, the abutters were never up in the 20+ years I've been here. Then my neighbor bought it amd put a road just past my corner... even with a good backstop shooting handguns I don't want to do it. As mentioned before...

Cut the cable to drive down the private road...

Not here. We have laws protecting landowners from injuries not involving their negligence. If you lose, you pay the landowner fees. The law has been on the books since 1979 and there has never been a successful lawsuit. Ambulance chasers won't accept cases if it may cost them money.

You live in a screwed up state if you need to worry about liability.

I would be leery if he says he wants payment in Amazon gift cards... VERY leery.
