    My 2006 Dodge 3500 5.9 litre Cummings diesel usually does not get plugged in until -30 degrees Celsius. The reason is because Dodge uses an air intake heater instead of glow plugs.

    Actually I threw away most of my junk two weeks ago. But your post is funny and it blew right over my wifes head. She comes up the the computer and says "what are you laughing at" so I showed her and she didn't get it.

    Slackware will never die. I still have my Walnut Creek CD's from Slackware 3.6 the only other software I kept from that period is Win 3.11, OS/2, and a few DOS versions. But your post is funy none the less you probably are a big Slackware fan.

    You ever been to a dairy farm? You should see what happens when to cows are not milked. Imagine a barn full of dairy cows that can raise the dead with the noise because their udders are swollen and they are in a lot of pain. They are happy to be milked. Or should we exterminate all dairy cows so they don't have to produce milk anymore? Dairy cows make milk that is what they were breed to do and all they can do. Dairy cow are better fed and like in clean barns compared to most cattle.

    I buy my beef from a farmer two miles away, there are no growth hormones and they eat grass and oats. My eggs come frome another farm 8 miles away and yes I can actually see the chickens running around the yard eating gross bugs, mice and other nonsense, funny thing the yolks are orange instead of yellow. Milk I buy from the store because I do not have a cow and it is illegal to sell raw milk, my mom even has a cream seperator we use sometime when we can get a few gallons of raw milk.
    The biggest problem with vegans (yes I ran into some in the city at a little girls birthday party) is what obnoxious, self-rightous little twits they are. They are all urban dwelling smug turds that think they are better than everyone.

    You imply drive train as in a typical vehicle. Where you said drive train you should have said electric motor. Your statement is misleading.

    The 2011 Chevrolet Volt does NOT have a direct mechanical connection between the engine and wheels. http://gm-volt.com/2010/06/30/combustion-engine-does-not-and-will-not-turn-the-volts-driveshaft-ever-got-it/

    BTW my brother and I carried the motor and transmission (still bolted together) from my 95 neon about 50 ft. My weight 135lb, my brother 155lb. My neon motor is way bigger than the volt motor so I must be like Superman or something.

    9.3 gallons of gas at 7.48lb per gallon is about 69.54 lb.
    And an inline 4 engine with 85.3 cu. displacement probably does not weigh more than 200 lb.
    I think Chevy claims all related systems for the combustion engine weigh 700 lb.

    Um solid axle truck. Name a single 1 ton truck that can give traction to each wheel independantly. 4 x 4 does not work that way. Also I have to move up to a 4 ton this year for work, then what? And how about when I'm stuck in the mountains in a blizzard and I am 300 km from the nearest town hauling a 32 foot traler with a 11,000 kg load 1.6 meters high? People need to learn to drive or lose the priviledge to drive. And yes my abstract is clean. Maybe we just need to start taking peoples cars away when they drive like assholes, I'm sure it would be easier to monitor the driver than the road.
