    When I was down in Texas two years ago, 4 banks there wouldn't take my American Express Travelers Checks. They told me to use them in Wal-Mart and get the cash there. :confused24:

    So now I never use travelers checks anymore; but instead use the VISA Card, because they have insurance coverage and almost anyplace will take it.

    Cold weather Question (car)

    I gave my daughter our old 94 Dakota last year and where did she venture off to first, none other than Winterpeg and Regina, in December. Before she left, I changed the both the engine oil and differential with Syn oil. Both the power steering, and serpentine belt can make a lot of noise when it's very cold as well. If you have the 3.9 engine; it is fairly robust engine but then again, gutless too. The pump in the auto trans are fairly noisy in the cold as well, but her truck made it and is still running at 390K.

     

    Good luck! :080402gudl_prv:

    Another car hits motorcycle

    What's surprising is when on a clear day, traffic is stopped at an intersection and then someone in a car runs into the back of another car...and not just with a little tap. I saw two of these accidents last week and fortunately motorcycles weren't involved.

    What are these people doing... talking on their cell, texting, reading, fingernails and makeup? I still think they need much stiffer fines for these issues.

    Wobble recovery?

    Back in 1985 I took spin out on a clear highway, on a V-Max. I was shocked to noticed that in no time I was doing about 110-120mph, I let off the throttle quickly, putting me into a high speed wobble; it scared the crap out of me. Luckily, no one was no other vehicles around so I slowly increased the speed to get out of it; then I slowly reduced my speed with no problem. What a rush; never again did I ask to ride it.

    Ditto...get checked out by a doctor; get some physio or see a chiropractor, plus massage. I speak from experience, as I have had several accidents (not my fault); the next day your back and neck muscles are tight and as hard as rock.

    You think that everything is ok after the accident until the stiffness and pain sets in hours later.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

    Hmmm...they (Turtle Wax) recommend wiping it off, so what would the purpose of leaving it on do? If anything it may cause a problem. :confused24:

    You may want to consider lifting the bike/wheels off the ground too.

    Well, I just got back from Lowes ...

     

    Two decrepid-looking, 90 year old Pakistani women came over to my truck as I was packing my purchases into my vehicle. They both start wiping my windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts falling out of their baggy T-shirts.....

     

     

    Is that the best they have in BC? Picky... aren't we? :rotf:
