I'm sorry..I am probably going to get publicly stoned for this (being we are on a Ford site).

But here's my vote. Its the round windows.

The AMC Pacer was the ugliest car that I can remember.

I cant stand the focus, I think they are one of the worst looking cars to date. (sorry to anyone in the 7.3 family that may have one)

Those fiestas were pretty damn ugly too. Same with those 4 door accords from the late 80's!

I'd actually like to find one of those old VW Things. There's a guy here in town that has an orange one (like the one in the pic up above) and it's cool. He has it fully restored and he drives it on the weekends.

It's ugly, but cool at the same time.

Well I hope everyone is having a better day than I am. I went shooting out back of mom and dads place today and walked back and noticed water coming from the crawlspace...
Stupid water heater is messing up. Its not rusted out but something is up with it. I talked them into a tankless water heater FINALLY. Looks like Ill be installing everything when it comes in next weekend.

Ive got a question for Jim....or anyone else that knows. In their 200amp service they have ONE full spot left. I was going to take a 15amp and 20amp breaker and use the slim(1/2) ones to created another spot so I can get a 240 in there. The water heater calls for "The AE115 requires two independent 240V AC circuits protected by two separate and independent double pole breakers rated at 40 A each." That was taken from the manual. It doesnt SHOW anything. Im confused as to what I need. Does that mean I need a double breaker with each of those breakers rated at 40 amps or do I need a double with 20 amp breakers? I just dont know when they say each if they are referring to the double set as EACH or each breaker in the double should be 40...
These are the specs...
Voltage 2x240V
Amps 2x40A

Talk about off topic...haha

You going to need 4 spaces in the panel Tristan. It is calling for 2 doublepole 40 amp breakers. or (2) 2 Pole40 amp breakers
Your best bet may be to add a subpanel from the main panel.

I've been in a smoke rolling mood all day long. Rolled coal all over Susan several times this morning as she was following me thru town. Rolled coal on a POS ricer on the freeway and then rolled coal thru an interestion in Willis.....just because I could.
