LOL!!! Further proof that clutches aren't necessary. I like this smartass smiley.

I've been participating in a discussion elsewhere about the bending (elastic) properties of the teeth in hypoid gear sets and how it effects slip and mesh. I'll ask about this and see if anyone has anything to say about this possibly being about more than ring gear bolt torque. The obvious answer isn't always the right answer and when it's not things can get interesting.

Noobie, Interesting. Are some of these things showing up now just a coincidence or is there more to it? At what point does warehousing some inventory become more trouble than what it's worth? It would be interesting if Ford and others came up with a schedule for clearing out unnecessary inventory. If people knew what was coming every year or couple of years that piggy bank in the bottom drawer of the tool chest could become "investment capital" the boss may not know about.

If the Miller Group (Larry H. Miller's family) still owned Miller Motorsports (now UMC), then I guarantee they would have expanded. There is a lot of racing that goes on out there.

Interesting White. The purple mattress place caught my attention and reminded me of when bubble wrap is a functional consideration.

BTW, did you notice what was in the list of videos across from your video? "Jeep and Ford save broken Dodge Durango" Imagine that!

That is Purple's main facility, I'm told. Within just a few minutes of me we also have a main Walmart Distribution, a Cabela's Distribution, and the LMK. I wish they paid better.... it would be nice to not have to drive to Salt Lake every day.

Does anyone know where the "Veteran" acknowledgement by the user name comes from or gets activated? I've looked through my control panel and profile for it a couple of times with no luck.

I think "road rage" has been redefined:
