Good Morning and Happy TGIF !!

Currently at my AO 1025 hrs , 62° clear skies winds 28mph from the South and high temp of 73° today

Later this Afternoon is a Car show in Apple Valley

 

255/75/17 Hankooks Dynapro on Gunmetal Ray10s

 

That’s nice, but I’m not a fan of the Navistar chassis.

 

I had those tires on my truck (265/70 16)for about a month (brand new ) maybe 200 miles on them and then sold them .Went back to the tire store and bought my current tires which are Toyo Open Country mud terrains

 

It is the style I really like the Renegade By IWS , I want to stay 2008 to 2010 models for cost and not to have to deal with DEF . They use Freightliner M-2 106 Chassis but if I can't get what I want care to school me on what is the problem / draw back to the Navistar chassis ? I do not want a bus style since any real work requires the engine / drive wheel assembly being dropped out. Besides I figure it is a standard truck under the hood and such so pretty much any decent truck shop can fix anything that breaks. For the most part people really do not put miles on them usually 50k or under on a 10 year old unit .

Well now that should certainly look outstanding! You’ve probably said all this before but crs strikes again

 

Get a Toterhome !!!!

 

Did some fluff/buff on the nova in case I want to go to a local cruise tonight. They usually get about 200+ cars.
Maybe-maybe not, but she's ready to go.

Monroe, the one on 111.

 

Sounds like a good car show with that many cars !!

I've gotta head out to the garage and dust off the Camaro and get it ready then fill the tank again !!

Only driven it 28 miles since Wednesday's car show and have already used almost a half tank of fuel !!!

 

There used to be a place called Marcus Dairy in Danbury ct that had cars on Saturday nights and bikes on Sundays.
Cars would number 3-400 weekly and bikes, maybe a thousand or more.
Nice 20 mile run for me. We would get 5 or 6 cars and go up in a group.
Sadly, they closed about 5 years ago so they could put in a "shopping mall".

 

Vim not a fan of Freightliner anything, but I’d go Freightliner over navistar. Just personal preference. There was a day when international made good things. I’d love to have an old scout. But when they broke up and sold to Case and went navistar. Meh.

 

So we are talking Fridays.
You don’t wanna know. I’m to pissed to talk about it.
Trying to get information on a refi for my truck. Not having much luck so far.

 

2.5 HR'S AND COUNTING..

 

Buddy and I were discussing the possibility of grabbing two of the race cars and running them down on the road to one of the car shows with a police escort with full racing gear.

 

Do you guys have "repair" plates in Maine?
Seen some drag cars on the road sporting those tags.

 

He is a dealer so dealer plates but I don't think it would apply cause these are no were near road drivable

 

Gotcha.
A guy i knew who owned a garage used to slap those tags on his car when he went for a ride.
It was an Anglia panel truck with a 427 BBC stuffed under the hood.

 

Hot spots and rust makes brakey brakey not very happy wappy..

 

Cruise ins and car shows are 2 different things. Usually, at least around here anyway, you pay to get into a car show and awards are given from any number of stupid ways of judging but your there until it ends. Cruiseins are free, not usually any awards, and you can leave whenever you’d like. Cruiseins are typically in the evening and shows during the day

 

Naugahyde is all that division of Uniroyal makes. Millions of yards a year.
