    Ooh...I hate those days. Terrible coffee just throws your whole day off sometimes.

    I try to stick to wilco Hess as they normally have dunkin donuts coffee...I usually don't get a bad cup.

    Read a book right? No commercials, no setting up equipment or anything like that!

    Anyways...guess I should turn the truck off and go to bed.

    Might see me once or twice again, but g'night folks. Big day tomorrow for me. Gotta be at the bank bright and early to pick up a check so I can pick up my new baby...

    What I found funny was that the churrascarias in the US are usually pretty swank establishments with linen tablecloths and the full buffet with meat is usually $35+. In Sāo Paulo, every one I saw was furnished like a diner, the food was better, and the same meal was less than $10 LOL.

    Nice one. You can fit a dozen garbage cans in the back of that one.

    More if you add a trailer! It'll tow nearly 4 tons with the motor in it.

    Come on folks! Ms. Rocks likes her reading material!

    As Captain Obvious, I could easily answer that. However, I will pass on this occasion.
    :biggrin_25523:

    Judging by some of the posts I've seen, he strikes me as the kind of guy who, in his more unruly days, may have had a problem with other bar patrons constantly bumping their faces into his fists. OR maybe not. LOL

    Probably not for long. I had an '02 1500 and was using it to haul an autocross car on a flatbed trailer, probably around 4,500 lb total and it was adequate. Anything bigger on the trailer and it struggled. I've since traded for 2500 diesels and fixed that.

    Edited to add: The transmission is the weak link. The 1500's don't have a trans cooler and don't lock up the torque converter till you're in OD. Hauling a heavy trailer, it won't stay in OD much.
