i searched around and found some chevron Delo 100 40 wt. at of all places... a boating supply store, named west marine,,$90 and for 5 bucks more would ship a 5 gallon jug to your door(until Christmas).. hohoho!!that stuff ain't cheap no more!!!

i suppose its for our own good,,, but, do you think the rest of the worlds refineries located in MAJOR BIG TIME POLLUTERS SUCH AS CHINA and other axis of evil nations will actually give a chit(shite', she-ite')(congressional brains)

do you have a gasser or jimmy? i was wondering the same thing and was actually able to count the revs on my diesel at slowest idle. but would like to know what the rpm is when operating,,, i've been told by an old catskinner that it don't matter if you just "run" the thing, so i guess it would just ...

not under a small tree anyway,,, i saw the video on this, it shows a high speed mode which is not true,, i read the top speed is about 16mph,, compared to the video showing about 40mph. but imagine if the troops had a military version of this, they could be clearing "debris"(heehee)as fast as they c...

ya the sows need tight cages, but the chickens need to be educated so they can roam free, go to the coop twice a day to lay ,,, pelosi must reform the tax laws to provide an education for the chickens,,, and because they cannot fly, must be given compesation ,, ,also, thousands of jobs will be creat...

AHH, will a Hamm's tapper fit in that hole? so now what are those two black "pull" knobs ? in that picture they are just next to the "left","right" wording.,, ,, also, down in front of the shiftguide cap is a spot that was cast into the top of the coverplate, a crossbar mount of some sort,,, was tha...
