My little dogs sleep right through thunder storms. My parents used to have an Akita that would flip out during storms, she was so bad they had to give her anti anxiety meds.

Yesterday afternoon me and dad were cleaning up the parts storage. I picked up what I thought was an empty box to throw away. It's heavy so I open it up. It's full of oil filters! Not just any filters either. 7.3L oil filters! 9 of em!
I can't believe you forgot to tell us...... What brand are the filter?

Yay.... a pink Jeep....
As to why I can't drive it til June: My parents are making me drive the Wrangler for 4 months after I get my license because I don't even know why...
Whatever. Gives me time to mod the truck AND it gives me a chance to save $ on insurance and registration while I drive it because I already told them I refuse to register or insure a vehicle I don't even want.
Edit: I can't drive the truck as an everyday driver that is. I'll have to take it out for a little exercise every week to keep everything in working order.
We are going to need to see some pics of you in this pink jeep. You will learn that we are a very visual group and need pics of everything.
I finally got done raking & bagging. 18 bags later, I came in time to shower & watch the Cowboy game. I'm sitting here with my world famous home-made salsa, bag of chips, and a Miller Lite trying to let my muscles relax. My back is going to be feeling it tomorrow!!
I don't know how to do the super-duper multiple quote thing so here's how I'll answer.
Cris: The filters are Fleetguards. I'll get some pics of the pink Jeep if I have time tomorrow.
Joe: If I could get out of driving the stupid thing I would, but I can't. Also you need to convince the wife you need a STIHL BR600 backpack blower. I bought myself one this fall because I always end up doing our yard plus my grandparents yard plus the yard at a rental house we own. This thing will blow a brick across my driveway. 520$ or so after taxes at your local friendly STIHL dealership.
I've got a good 2-cycle blower, Pete. Problem is after several weeks and some rain, the leaves are pushed down in the grass. Blowers never do a as good a job as raking. Oh, and it also converts into a vacuum, but I only use it around the bushes, and all that. Not as effective as I thought.
Chris --> Looks like the offense finally showed!!
EDIT: Oh, and to multi-quote, click on the button on all the posts you want to quote (it will turn red), then click the button. You can even multi-quote off several pages. Handy function!

What have ya got? I'm quite convinced that I could outdo your rake with my BR600.
I was moving 3' walls of leaves while it was raining at my grandparents house.
BTW: I've got a good 4 cycle blower. STIHL now uses the 4-mix system.

Jeez -- you had to call me out on it. I'd have to go look, because I can't remember right now. And it's hanging on the wall on the other side of the truck in the garage. Not going out there right now. I can barely muster the energy to get myself another beer.
