    The ideologies involved were "Polar" opposites, thus "Cold War".

    GMC Hybrid Truck

    Those solar panels were for a heating system to try and thaw out his ice-queen of a wife, but didn't work. The next guy didn't need them because his wife was a Librarian, and everybody knows that librarians are HOT! :P

    North Carolina Tracs

    Don't think so, but it sounds like fun. My wife graduated from WCU and we now live near Charlotte. We love the NC Mountains, and try to visit when we can. Franklin, Highlands, Bryson City, Cherokee, Maggie Valley, Linville Falls, Boone and Blowing Rock are some of our favorite places. [Broken...

    I've gotten 50,000 miles out of my Dayton Timberlines,(made by Bridgestone) and although I have been told by some on here that they are "fugly", for about $300 OTD I have been very happy to drive around on my fugly tires.:D [Broken External Image]:

    Bed Extenders

    i don't have any experience with the OEM extender, but i bought the Westin in 2002 when i got my trac and it has worked fine for me. It was easy to install.

    i watched a guy about 20 years ago move a huge swarm of bees with a pot and a big metal spoon. We were in a camp ground and a huge swarm of honey bees came in and covered a tree right next to where we had a community bonfire going. A guy there asked for a large metal pot and a metal spoon. He...

    OT: Jokes - 1973 vs 2007

    "I know it's the rules but give him a break." I can't agree with that. Everybody wants a break. "I know I had a little too much to drink and shouldn't have been driving, but give me a break". "She was mouthing off and i lost my head and I only popped her once. Give me a break."...
