It's ok to tell us you lost your license all the more reason to ride with me to Clinton. Good for Maddie.

Yes Chris, do tell us the truth!!
Joel,
Nice tow. I'm sure you will be enjoying it. You sure can't call it a name that refers to a different sexual orientation.

That's amazing. What speed are you towing?

After all the teasing I did here about my Saturn Ion being a great tow vehicle I have finally decided to let it go. I picked up a 1st gen Escape when I was out on the west coast recently. My wife and I now have the towing twins. Now all I need is a Mustang to tow.

Bruce, 65 will get the upper end of that number and 75 will get me the bottom. Doesn't make much of a difference when towing the Hurricane but with the tall 200 back there the wind will cost me quite a bit.

Nice ride Kostas, Toyotas always look like someone blobbed some hot butter on top of a vehicle frame to me but the 4 runner has always been the exception. I like the new TRD with the pastel desert storm color schemes and blacked out emblems.

New 1976 Tow Vehicle.     I thought I'd better get one before 62Wood buys them all.
Had it for a year now and I luv it !!!     You froze-up northerners could send me at least 6"-8"s of snow so I could test out the new snow blade.    Stay warm.



That's not the snow blade, that's the push bumper.
Keep it....from sinkin'

I was going to say, first carpeted snow blade I've ever seen!

What make and model is it?

I have a few Cub Cadet tractors I move boats around the yard with. They do very well at it, I've launched boats with them with no problem.

Hi Dr!
I had that same tractor until last year. It's the neighbors now. The rear discharge on the mower deck was pretty sweet and it was so easy to remove.

Dave,
I thought the same. Guess I need to have my glasses checked too!

Here's what I thought we were looking at. Tire tread carpet:

I feel your pain.... I can't read jack sh*t without my glasses these days. Getting older really s*cks   

BTW, on the tow vehicle matter: my Beamer still tows the boat and is still running strong with next to zero issues, other than the starter I replaced last weekend...
Just about to reach 420.000 kilometres on the clock (260.975 miles for you guys)...
Love that car!

And it kinda loves the "Nürburg Ring Nordschleife" race track in Germany from time to time to strech it's legs



- Gun control means: using BOTH hands!
- Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle...

Unfortunately they stopped bringing those in quite awhile ago. Even the 3’s are now done.

Yeah, been there! But I had an unbelievable stroke of luck about 5 or 6 years ago. My Son and I underwent Lasik surgery and the Dr. told me to expect my dependence on those irritating things would get worse ... perhaps much worse. To my surprise, it actually got better - not just a little either. I now only have to pull them out in really dim lighting. Doc said only one in 10,000 cases or so will do that and even less will actually get better

Anyway, I had seen your diary with the Beemer towing your boat and wondered if you were still using it. - good vehicles. I never would have thought of them as a tow vehicle till my brother-in-law bought an X5 to use as a tow vehicle for his Airstream!


Me?   I'm old school with my truck I suppose. But in all honesty, I would already have a truck for my business because of the large tool trailer I have to pull. It does do an outstanding job with the Nautique, though perhaps a bit of an overkill
