    You are guilty of 'failure to yield right of way' in this situation. Even if you are over the speed limit if someone comes up from behind you are supposed to move over to allow them to pass.

    But I always have to remember that in the greater region around Mordor, people can't read their driver's manuals so they never learned that lesson.
    we have had this convo befote.

    :xmad: get off my highway.

    Not something you see everyday laying in your backyard.
    It's still alive. Chatters when I spread its wings out

    Caught one fishing one time. It was near dusk, almost dark, and I cast my Rapala lure out and it never hit the water. That's odd. Started reeling in and felt small tug on the line, with the line still in the air. Continued reeling in with rod tip down until I grounded it with a plunk in the water. Quick dip under water put it out of it's misery.

    Careful handling these, they carry rabies.

    Nah.
    This is why we have highway shooting in chiraq! Slow drivers on the far left. :p
    My brother in law inadvertently cut someone off on the Dan Ryan last month early on a Saturday morning. He said the guy started pulling up along side him and he figured the guy was going to flip him the bird or utter a few choice words. Instead, he found himself staring down the barrel of a pistol. He hit the brakes to let the other guy fly ahead and then the guy sped off and exited at the next ramp. Scary stuff.

    Idiots that do that, assume they are the only one with a gun.
    It's a good way to get shot. And the police will not be on their side.

    More importantly they feast on mosquitoes. They are welcome around my place anytime

    Looking for a cheap-ish truck. Found this one on FB. Still undecided, but I'm a sucker for blue. It's a few thousand bucks more than I would like (KBB has it in the $10-11K range, I'd rather pay 9), but I will ask him about that. I know it's got some miles, but I will not put more than 2-3,000 miles on it per year, so it should not be an issue if it's in good shape. Body looks great, interior looks great. Anything I should look for or ask about if I talk to him? I've never had a vehicle with this many miles on it before.

    Don't know if you can see it if you don't have Facebook. 2009 F-150 4X4, 133K miles, he's asking $12,500

    Looks very sharp! Make sure 4x4 works. You can put it in 4HI crank the steering wheel all the way to one side and go back and forth in that gravel in pic. Front tires will skip and not seem smooth cause you're going backwards and sideways at same time (Or forward). Maybe someone else knows an easier way, that's just what I do. Definitely different price or no go if that's out. MAKE SURE AIR COND. WORKS! That's my 2 bits, Good Luck!!!

    Just saw it looks like it's been for sale for 10 weeks.... Not a plus in my book, other's probably passed on it. Maybe it's just a price thing though, and he's ready to meet you on a mutual agreed price??? Yikes, I am glad I'm not truck shopping right now, was thinking about what I could get for my '19' to move forward, screw that, good truck not willing to roll the dice... Exciting though, she's a beaut!

    IF it's the 5.4 liter 3 valve engine, hard pass. most people will sell those at tune up time because the spark plugs break off in the heads and become a nightmare that will run you thousand's. maintenance tune up time is 100k, by 133k its starting to run bad and now its required. if it's NOT the 3 valve 5.4 engine you'll be ok.

    Carmax is paying big bucks right now. A couple of months ago I sold my '15 RAV4 to them for $19,500. It did have low miles, but I thought that was a ridiculously good price.
