Gizmo is settling in as part of the family...

Wife and I are going downstate for the weekend and will slap 500 miles or so on it. I should see a dramatic increase in fule mileage putting along on US Route 2 instead of the 75mph I-95 daily commute.



I will avoid Vermont on this trip... ... ... ... ...

mike. on the back side of fuel fill tube there should be a black button about 2 in. down. thats the tank vent. push down on it with the pump nozzle. I think you get 5 liters or so more in the tank. my 04 has it use it every time. more miles:-laf pete.

Thanks Pete,
I will try that next time I fill up. I'm going to go out now and see if I can spot it.

The guy has paid a $50,000 bail but still has 18 days to serve on another charge. People from all over the world have sent in donations for his defense fund. I guess some people think of it as a big "joke" destroying over $200,000 of taxpayer property!

Sounds like a local idiot to me. .

I hope he has one heck of an insurance policy! He probably was on dope when he came up with the idea. #@$%!

IMO, that's not an insurable action, as it was not an accident. The PD's insurance will pay for the cars, and then sue the owner of the tractor to recover their loss. I hope he has a lot of money!

That is the thing right there, an accident would be "Oh ****, I just bumped a Sheriff's car!!!"



Not an accident is "Oh ****, I only got one. I'll back up and take another run at it!!. Putting it in 4WD outta' do the trick... . "
