You should go test drive a new 3.5 EB today Bob. Make sure you put it in Sport Mode. I'm sure glad I went back to a 6 cylinder.

But maybe it's being around a little longer than some, but I don't like most of the new stuff that vehicles do. Like you mentioned it takes some control away. And I want all of the say so of what ever I'm driving. Now some vehicles can even park themselves. When I got my drivers license a few years ago, that was part of the test

First Appraisal
I received my first of two appraisals for Ka'Bluey, $5400. I would have guessed half of that amount. Now I wait for the second, then go to the insurance company. The Indmnity bond will be for 1.5 times the higher amount. Then to the license office with all of the paperwork to get a title.
I did find out that the bonds aren't that much money, $100 for the first $1000 then $15 for each additional $1000.

Larry, what class do you normally run in at the race. 1 or 2a? I was looking at the Lee County mud sports website, and it just got me curious. Al looking at the Lee County mud sports website, and it just got me curious. Are The classes pretty much the same from one complex to another?

I guess I'm showing my age also. I prefer the simplicity of the older vehicles. I don't need nor desire 15000 buttons on the dash to hear a few tunes or to adjust the heat/air. Maybe it's a muscle memory thing where I don't have to read everything before making a selection. What was wrong with the sliders/twist ***** for heat and 2 **** radios...lol. I would rather be watching where I'm driving.
I've had more than one young person ask me how I drive the F-250 with a manual tranny and T-case. I guess it would interfere with them playing with all of the dash controls. I replaced the head unit a couple of years ago and I hate the thing. I should have went on ebay and bought an OEM. The new one should have come with a warning...NOT FOR USE BY PERSONS OVER 25.
Be Good!!!

With decent weather heading our way this next week, I think I'll get that carb off of Ka'Bluey and rebuild it. And hopfully be able to get the pinion and axle seals, and rear brake shoes.

That's what I was thinking after reading through the criteria for what was allowed on the Lee County site. Thanks for the information... I just have to wonder... how well the 1 ton would do if I decided to go that route with it.. more just speculation than any actual desire to mud race...
