I can get my Mercedes out of this part in the snow... have a short video of that... linked near the middle of the first link I was having battery trouble with my truck so I had to go all the way to the bottom of our drive... not planning on carrying a lead battery 100 feet up a 35-40 degree slippery slope after having just been to the chiropractor... :) coming back up the hill had to work the old beast pretty hard to the top... street tires... anyway, got some videos (in the link above) of the AMC V8 letting off a little steam... was making some pretty wild sounds... pitiful... but as soon as it got over its hissy fit I started it up and drove it the rest of the way up, but messed up and slid off the drive into the grassy area where our drain field is... snow was deep... I could try to back up and risk the fence and slide further into mowed lawn... I could push on and get myself out... and likely tear up a nice lawn... or I can wait until my son gets home with his Grand Wagoneer and toss a tow strap on to give me that little bit of guidance I need to get back on the straight and narrow... :) jeep on y'all... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -o|||||o- fahrvergnugen y'all Snohomish, Washington - where Jeeps and VWs don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 TRSTGZS http://JohnMeister.com HTTP://WAGONEERS.COM http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 10:02:35 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: [db] Washington Hazardous Substance Fee Effective February 1st, 2012 (fwd) another new tax... interesting... fresh motor oil has been declared a hazardous substance and TAXED by washington state... it's interesting to note that the EPA, a federal agency, doesn't even consider USED motor oil a hazardous substance... this is what happens when poorly educated and inexperienced liberals are elected to government offices locally... just another tax... what's worse is that small businesses now have to keep track of this tax separate from the normal sales tax and report this differently... and in January instead of in April, further adding to administrative overhead for small businesses in this state... Washington is very small business-unfriendly...
