1986 Isuzu P'up, 177,673.8 miles.
- Hella headlights (highly recommended)
- DOT C-2 back end (also recommended)
- R-12 air conditioner converted to R-406a. Saved ozone and money
- 4.1:1 final drive converted to 3.4:1. Quieter, better mileage but it's a good thing I live in the flat Midwest.
- 9/22/2007, age 21: Still running well when reluctantly sent away for reincarnation, due to body & frame rust.
What do gandy dancers and rocket scientists have in common?
More than you may think.
And no, it was definitely not one of my better days.
And yes, that is a real 'Rocket Scientist' assessing damage to the Shuttle rocket motors (under the covered flat cars) that derailed after the bridge collapsed.
Not to hijack the thread.... but where can I get the sticker that is on the shuttle rocket engine cars?

LOL!
That is a standard stencil on rail cars that are not meant to be put through a "hump yard."
Meaning to give it a shove with a locomotive, cut the lever and then let it roll on its own to the appropriate track/cut of cars. Typically there will be "retarders" that slow the car so that they don't bang into the other cut of cars too hard.
I'm familiar with the "hump" as i've been to our local one for a few incidents. That's just the first time i've ever seen that stencil... I had to make a smart comment about it
