    Interesting you should mention that.....

    All of those CARB rejects that are supposed to be junked....are finding their way down south of the border...

    Mexico doesn't have CARB.....
    Just like Mexico actually enforces its immigration laws as well....

    It would appear Mexico has something that Kommifornia lacks....Commonsense.....

    It's called Liberal Control....

    You didn't know that driving a rig is "Unskilled"?

    You didn't know that Health and Safety laws don't apply to you as a driver....

    But by God...if that tail lamp goes out....That's 10 points on your CSA 2010 record driver......

    I see....The Coast Guard was contaminating sea water by introducing fresh water (in the form of snow) into the ocean.....
    Makes sense......al Qaida has nothing on our government...:biggrin_2551:

    All the winds from Mexico eventually wind up in Sacramento.....along with all that Mexican pot smoke..as in "Contact Highs"...that's why Cali legislators pass their asinine laws to begin with......They're all friggin' stoned....

    Sometimes these Idle threads cracke up.... Drivers talking about idling to stay alive... yet... I see alot of drivers who are in their trucks when it is 50 degrees, who are idling wth the heat blasting wearing boxers and a tank top...
    To me, that is rediculous... I don't do that at home... crank the heat up in the winter and walk around the house in shorts and a tank top.... I don't want to pay the heating costs for that...

    I am no saying I agree with all the idle laws and such.... Just, some drives hae no common sense and there is alot of over idling....

    For me, winter is easy, and I only need to idle to prevent my fuel ge up... but, fuel, with additives isn't going to gel at 35 degrees....

    50* isn't bad.....Good sleeping temp......

    But the same can't be said in Milner, CO at -29*.........Or 110* in Mojave........


    I for one cook in my truck...crock pot, grill.... I also have a coffee maker and a kettle.....Sometimes you have to run the engine especially on a 34 hour reset......otherwise....the inverter makes this freakin' annoying noise....

    CARB though....thinks we all eat at Subway.....I'm not Jarrad...I can't eat Subway everyday.......
