    Ive used dynomite on a car before, and Im sure it works quite well on fish, but I likle the challenge of trying to aim and take account the refraction of the object Im trying to hit......

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I feel that the dynamite may cause a huge rock to fall off the canyon wall too. No bueno.

    X2. And, quite frankly, Until I blew up my brothers car.....I had NO idea of HOW much power that shit really has! I can attest that 20 feet of Det cord, and 6 sticks of dynamite WILL destroy an 89 Dodge.

    So I'm a woman because I have a prerunner? Great comment guy:cool:.

    I bought my prerunner because I was young, dumb, and didn't know I would actually wheel it.

    I bought a taco a few years back and got a 2wd cuz I knew I wouldn't use 4x4 here in Socal. Then one day I drove out to New Mexico and got caught in a freak snowstorm in Arizona..... never again. I've always had 4 wheel drive (up to the previous taco) and now even if I only use it once, I'll be glad I have it.

    You know the saying - "it is better to have and not need than to need and not have"
