I heard it meant “maybe” because; Cleveland was the only “Real” one

Probably will start a crusade (to enlighten me)
on that statement

I came here to find out whether there were NON PLASTIC 98 4x4 Ranger hubs.

. . there aren't.

I have a lot of free time, being I do not have a life, and I don't party, so I get a lot of free time to play with your minds.

P.S. Look at the factory HP and torque numbers. "M" means "Munchkin" . . I think.

Stop it.

M is just M, as far as the board is concerned.

It really means Modified Cleveland, because most of the parts interchange between the two, but the M has a 1" taller deck.

Hey Fuzz, whenever someone calls me a butthead (which in husband's family is a term of endearment) I just say "Well, that explains those headaches! I've been sitting on my brain..."

The only time I get scared is when I'm NOT online. That means I'm sitting with my wife watching her flip channels at 90 miles per hour............... and I'm UNDERSTANDING all the shows!

Yea !?!?!

Well let me ask you something then Mr. Smartypants.

Why didn't they name it "MC Ford"? They could have probably sold more of them than "MC Hammer" did records.

. . and they even sound better - too!!

Good advise, Ms. Other Bowers, thank you.

I could use this too! I have ~often~ been accused of thinking with a brain in that immediate vicinity as it is.

Well, yes.

Isn't Bevis the blond one?

To be called ~that~ would hurt my feelings.

I am????? It drives me absolutely nuts!!! ( well, more so than I am most of the time) She will flip past a whole bunch of shows that I'd like to see what it might be and by the time I get the question out, she says, "Huh? What channel was that?" I think by then she's at least 8 channels past it and I'll be danged if I could even see the channel number. Again..thats why I spend most of my time on the net in either a forum, a chat room or just surfing and seeing what nonsensical information I can ingest.
