    You can only have my Halogen fluid from my cold dead fingers. I will not even allow HID fluid on the property because of this.

    Bought some little wooden tees the other day at the golf shop. A guy told me they were to set your balls on when driving. Best #### money I ever spent !!!!

    Make sure you rotate your mirrors regularly. If you blindside back more often than good side, you'll wear out the passenger side mirror first.

    I can't believe that none of you change the air in your tires on scheduled PM's

    Like I said, I use all season air. All I have to do is throw a desecant pack in twice a year.

    I found out the freightliner dealer charges 30 bucks for a year supply.
    I said F that. Started using the desecant packs from the bags of pepperoni bags. Cost 3 bucks and I get pepperoni out of it.
     
    cnsper Thanks this.

    No, I did not. He was talking to the boss. I was in the shop to get some shrink Wrap for an OS load and overheard part of the conversation.

    I think it was the same company we get our dry air from
