  4. i try to buy american, mexican, or canada. my laptop and desktop computers were made in mexico by lenovo. my cell phone was made in vietnam. they probably contain chinese parts, buy most everything does these days.
  5. sorry, no pictures of it. and i dont know if it is still alive or not. i have not seen it in 40 years. it had a deck control 75 foot ladder with a nozzle up top and 4 inch hose from deck to nozzle up the middle of the ladder, a 50 foot, 30 foot, 4 20 foot extension ladders in the bunks under the big ladder. and 2 14 foot "roof ladders", one on each side of the ladder bunk. 500 gallon water tank, 750 GPM pump with ladder console pump controls. only hose on board though was the 4 inch line for the ladder and a shorty to connect to the trucks pump. it rolled with a pumper for water supply from hydrants. i remember that truck like it was just yesterday. too bad i cant remember what i had for breakfast this morning!!
  6. my introduction into the cracker box was the fire departments aerial ladder. V12 engine with 10 speed trans. there were only 4 of us that could drive it. 1985 it was sold to a fire department out in the midwest at 20 years old because we could no longer rate it as a first line truck without doing a complete refurbish... and that cost almost as much as the new diesel truck that replaced it. it had a little over 17,000 miles on it when it went west.
  7. Bob, i have an old dishwasher out in the garage i use. got it on craigs list around 25 years ago for $10
  8. a dishwasher does a real nice job.....
  9. If that obummer judge likes illegals so much, maybe he can leave the country with them.
  10. one post wonder, and been over a year since he last logged on
  11. i was taught at 12 years old the only thing a clutch is for is starting out on flat or uphill. and as such was never taught how to shift with a clutch. so when my friends pilot bushing came out of the crank and jammed the clutch in his 69 296/375 4 speed chevelle super sport in state college pa, i offered to drive it home 8 hours to the jersey shore. he was amazed i could shift without the clutch. a few times i had to stop for lights or to pay tolls and turned the engine off. then slipped it into first, and fired it up to take off.
  12. looks like something you see on the hoopties in da getto
  13. blah blah blah.....did you powerwash those damn dirty rims???
  14. someone needs to smack her knee when she steps on the clutch to shift.
  15. screw china. they need us a lot more than we need them
  16. the least you could have done was clean the damn rims before puttin them perrty tires on them!!! 🤮
  17. i noticed that too. it seems 4 or 5 buckets were removed for driver safety in turns.
  18. still a bit too cold for that.
  19. about 50 years ago i was helping a landscaper friend for a few weeks when his driver was sick. u model tandem tractor with a 237 5 speed and air starter. i pulled into a nursery for a load of plants rite at lunchtime. all the mexicans went on "siesta" 45 minutes later the nursery owner looked out the window and saw them sleeping around the truck and said " i have had it with those guys" (lunch was 30 minutes) he told me to quietly get in the truck and start it up. i have never since that day seen a herd of mexicans move as fast as those guys did!!
  20. Dave, the only ones "doomed" are criminals, illegals, and lib tard demonrats with their head so far up their asteriks that they keep on confusing President Trump and VP Vance with the pedophile and prostitute who spent the past 4 years selling the country to the highest bidder. as far as the stock market goes, it can fall to sheit and i would not care. and i agree, life is good and getting better every day.
  21. why is it ok for other countries to place up to 60% tariffs on american exports, but is is bad for america to put 10-15% tariffs on foreign imports? screw those foreign countries that dont want our exports. it is time to think about america first, not america last like the demonrats have done for so long.
  22. WOW. i filled up this morning at $2.55 per gallon. and last week it was 2.63. i fill at 1/2 tank, which is around 12 gallons used for 235 miles traveled, or 19.5 MPG. truck is a 2021 F150 4X4 crew cab shortbed 5.0 V8 with 10 speed trans and 3.31 gear ratio. and that is with average speed under 45 MPH. one time i had it out on the road and with cruise set at 65 it got 26 MPG on a 300 mile flat ground run.
  23. i still dont understand why the demonrats feel it is ok for foreign countries to impose 20,30,nd 40 % tariffs on american exports, but it is the end of the world as we know it for america to impose tariffs on those same countries imports into america.
  24. correct Amazon electric delivery vans are built by rivian to amazon specs.
