It would be very cool if you drove dad's electric ranger to the next meet. Any chance of that?

Why not put a generator in the bad, then it'll be a hybrid electric.

Really, I was just joking. That'd be funny to see. Imagine what that sounds like at a stop light. "who's mowing their lawn?"

I've got a generator - but I don't know how many miles per gallon it'll get.

I think mine gets 4 hrs or more, it's not a big tank 2 gal maybe. 4hrs x 50mph = 200 so that's 50 to 100 mpg. Wow how much can you to with that?

Some of y'all know what of make that truck is. No, it's not a chebbie...or a toylet-a.


Since I have far more vehicles than most of the SoCal chapter members, loaning something out is no problemo.

Why you gotta rip on the Toilet-a-s??? You know they are pretty much the same as your "other make"

As for loaners - I'd offer to loan him something, but only 1 of my 6 (really 5) run at this time - and apparently even that one is a crapper

Do you have space to part out a truck? It'd be cool if we could get you a complete truck at a salvage auction to do a full swap.

I'm going to bet he doesn't based on the fact that the blue truck is sitting out front on the street.

I sent him a link/ph. # for a complete Dodge D350 with a cummins motor for a good price.

I know for a fact you can sell enough parts off a complete truck to pay for the motor, etc. - as I have just done it. I don't think he has the room to part out the dodge though. Even though that truck DESERVES a cummins in it
