    Even more fun with about 4' of fishing line and a small, light carabiner attached to an unsuspecting fellas back belt loop.

    "Hey Joe, what's that behind you?"

    As he turns to look and the fishing line pulls tight, said rubber snake will advance towards the guy. I know this, because.............a friend told me. Yeah, that's it!!!:D:D:D

    I meant the part about shifting all the way through the low side at idle, never once touching the throttle. That and the engine somehow being able to redline itself if you just left the engine alone and idled along in gear. Maybe I'm an idiot but I just can not see how any of it is possible.

    Dam KT, one of the few times I unleash my vast array of knowledge and you cut me off at the knees. Guess I need to stay with my inconsequential drivel. Carry on.

    I went looking for that info, exhausted. I didn't know it off the top. You made me learn something today, so thank you.... maybe it's totally useless knowledge, but it'll be handy when trivial pursuit comes around. Lol.

    KT: Almost any weasel you can make an expensive coat out of!!!!.... And apparently the wolverine is closely related too.... I guess the badger would be as well?..... Now I'm just running myself in circles with this new info.

    I don't get it either. I can idle my truck around a parking lot for hours at 600 rpm, and it's gotta have a little fuel to shift so I dunno what that dude is talking about.

    Oh 10-4. I wouldn't say you were an idiot. I've never even thought to try it but it don't sound right to me. Especially uphill or flat ground. If I'm in the truck I got places to go. If I let the clutch out I'm trying to go. Why idle thru the gears? Maybe someone else has tried or has a reason to...I can't figure why though.
