Sounds like a good plan! A friend has a 16' Scamp with a window a/c that supposedly works really good. One of these days I'm going to call the factory to get pricing on new ones to figure out the...

Congrats! I've actually been shopping for a 16' Scamp for a few years but I tend to be a attracted to the newer $$$ ones with roof a/c so I could use it locally and at the racetrack in the summer. ...

Yeah? Cool. I've always been a footer but have really gotten into it lately since this guy and and another guy go 70 or so days per season so they are always available - I have the kids and we have...

Supermoon!

Whatever. I'm not a fan of any of the 'light' hybrids really since they don't seem to give you the benefits of the full on hybrids. GM has some light hybrids that seem equally disappointing. I...

Off hand without actual analysis I've said no but maybe worth it to some people based on eco values especially if they don't need to rationalize the extra costs. See my earlier posts where I say that...

Nobody ever messes with my 24 year old Bianchi townie. Go figure. I guess those ancient Suntour components aren't in demand.

This isn't the thread to discuss this but take an overhead look down at the Canadian tar sands area. That is a huge toxic leaching mess - sort of a hell on earth created so we can have cheap gas. In...

I unfortunately agree. Something like a Skyactive plug in hybrid might be a game changer. Direct injection and all the other gasoline technologies are definitely closing the gap with diesel. Still...

03 Runner and we don't get that mileage. The computer lies as well. Great truck though. When we were commuting with it we'd get above twenty if we were very very lucky. If the display says 22 it...

:) The problem I'm having is the used 6D's that are brand new off of the 24-105 combo pack are selling for like $1700.

And as old as my T2i is it still takes okay pictures for what I do which is...

Yeah. I didn't realize that wishes and desires expressed on TGR become binding. Dude changed his mind. I keep going back and forth between upgrading to a 6d or 5d mark ii or even just a 5d.

Low end torque would make the Subaru's even more truck like than they are. Temporary glitch but diesel is selling for twenty cents less a gallon in the midwest right now. At least it is here. ...

The newer Impreza model has the all new 2.0L with a little less power. I test drove one and thought it was fine but I'm not a boy racer like I was twenty years ago.



The most detailed rumor...

The Hybrid Crosstech is a joke. MPG is barely better. Not worth it. Rumor mill has it that Prius AWD is coming soon though. Our Prius V is getting 46-47 again now that it is warm out. Hard to walk...

We have the exact same truck made in 2003 with 168k miles (sport same options except no mp3 outlet). The only thing it needed between 68k and 168k was new front drive axles, an a/c relay, serpentine...

This. I have a T2i and I don't have the 17-55 but a friend had it for a while before going full frame and I spent some time shooting with it and it is a sweet sharp ride. The T2i doesn't handle ISO...

Sign me up for the outabounds fanclub. ^Amazing image. Looks like you just cleaned it up a little. Mad props!

Last night at the Eastern Iowa Glass Factory.

I'm six foot two inches two hundred lbs and I think even the first year 186 BG's that I have seem kind of long in tight places. The new BG's are a different ski but when I upgrade I'm getting the 186...

I know on United International tickets get a higher priority even for the domestic connections. When shit hits the fan they are going to accommodate the international itinerary first.

The worst part about entering the contest is that you might win. The happy feeling in your pants is cool and all but the harsh cold reality of putting up another MPC looms large. Keeping all 47...

I posted in the other airline thread but worth posting here as well. From CID to DEN we had no trouble with our ski/boot bags but when we tried to leave Denver they sent us down to a special line...

^Sweet.

Spring has finally arrived in eastern Iowa.

Nice one super! Beautiful.

I don't have problems with sway or own a minivan and I tow with a 4 Runner which is a truck unless you think the independent front suspension disqualifies it but yeah based on experience I think the...

I have more problems with wandering with more hitch weight. I think that if you have a truck with super stiff springs the heavier hitch weights make sense so this rule of thumb probably works great...

For the boats I tow 10 percent would be way on the high side. I've had good luck keeping my tongue weight down to manageable levels. It surprises me that the highlander has a five thousand pound...

You can use the boat engine to throttle the Highlander up the ramp if you want. The guy in the boat just has to have one hand on the key to turn off the engine as soon as the propeller comes out of...

Damn Yeti! Keep on keeping on. Sick icicle picture.

Remember when nobody could say anything remotely bad about PM Gear without being lambasted? A lot of good that did. My ON3P's are the best built ski I have ever owned and I honestly have been...

Yeah I climbed the East Wall last Saturday before the big snow came and with all the sugar down there and the old layer I can't understand how people think it is safe to head out after the huge...

Wow. Forget the contest and sell some prints.

No advice but thanks for the flick. Excellent. Looks like a ton of fun.

The road home from our last day of midwest skiing this year.

Got beef?

Awesome. Added a pair to my Solly quiver.

Lots of colorful. Nice capture!

I was having trouble a few days ago. Upgraded my Flash and I'm good to go again.

Shot it in RAW on my T2i/Canon 10-22. It came out of the camera pretty 'washed out' so in Lightroom I dialed the brightness way back and boosted the black a little and dropped the exposure just a...

My garage is attached on one end to the house but also 2x4 and it was uninsulated when I bought the house but it was finished with drywall and had the full attic going... It was an inferno in the...

Due to the extended winter weather Chestnut reopened today the 23rd and will be open all week thru next Saturday the 30th from 10-6 pm (9-6 tomorrow). Season passholders can get companion tickets...

Bumpers. Finally had a chance to read this TR properly from top to bottom. EPIC little adventure with lots of maggot connecters built in to up the radness factor. The kid stoke and pictures...

I'm really happy these aren't mounted for Solly's at around 320 because I love keeping my money in the bank.

Drool. I really wanted these at the start of the season but decided with my situation...

Kicking Horse back a few weeks. Ten year old stepson finding some remnants.

Really? I was fondling some Icebreaker stuff at a shop recently and really liking everything about it except the price. At that price the quality and warranty had better be top notch.

I bought...
