    Don't worry about striker.....He's just upset at us all laughin' at his "Training Transmission" He'll stop when they give him a "real" tranny!:biggrin_2559:

    I can't put a stopper on my cane...

    It interferes with the travel of the spring loaded stiletto that comes out of the end.

    Well, I know for a fact that Colo., Wyo., MT, KS, NE, NM, and Ok don't have this restriction in place. Utah used to have a similar restriction in place but did away with it.

    uhhh......you are wrong.......Wyoming HAS this restriction:

    “E” Restrictions allow ONLY the operation of a motor vehicle with an automatic transmission.

    you can find it on page i.ii

    My Latin is a bit rusty but isn't it "Quid pro quo"?


    My favorite is "Apperendum non substantiam"
    Appearance not substance:)
