Ohio Highway Patrol to change color of their cruisers	Dan	15:58:35 12/02/02 Mon
Won't the white blend in with all the snow? Wasn't there a study by NHTSA back in the 1970's that said Yellow/Green was the best for visibility? -- Whitey, 16:54:27 12/02/02 Mon Never thought of that, but we don't get much snow in Ohio anymore Ha Ha (NT) -- Dan, 16:59:52 12/02/02 Mon Not that's white, anyway. -- O. Zoan and his brother A. Sidrane, 18:43:15 12/02/02 Mon If we get snow here, it's usually yellow! -- Dan, 18:54:15 12/02/02 Mon As My Good Friend Frank Zappa Once Said "watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow" (NT) -- Elvis, 21:35:40 12/02/02 Mon Looks like the Chicago vendor fee is going waaaay up. (NT) -- FBI Profiler, 02:39:30 12/10/02 Tue Color Schemes -- Jim Yurgealitis, 19:49:07 12/08/02 Sun I think that moron over at cowardlycops.com ought to hear about those camo cop cars in Maryland. I'm sure he'd find that they violate our civil rights! (NT) -- Coleman Canoes for everybody!, 22:35:48 12/08/02 Sun Geez, who gives a crap...if you were out there catching speeders you'd maybe appreciate a dark colored car. Believe me, the Troops aren't too fond of the new "bright" colors. -- Mike B., 00:17:17 12/10/02 Tue Emergency light colors............ -- Bearhawke in Az, 07:21:07 12/10/02 Tue Did anyone stop to think that maybe someone at the OHP made an executive decision and just decided that white cars looked better in their opinion? -- Why does everyone try to overthink things all the time?, 11:11:53 12/10/02 Tue Not to mention the budget crunchs are on, may be cheaper too. (NT) -- Henry Ford, 18:23:06 12/10/02 Tue Now that I'm up anyway, thanks to Mike B.... that's crunchEs. One of the funny little quirks in the English language. (NT) -- Sherlock Spellchecker, 22:46:53 12/10/02 Tue Don't get me wrong, white cars will look way better than dark grey, but from a practical perspective, the grey cars are probably much more effective when "surprising" unsespecting speeders. -- Mike B., 22:06:27 12/10/02 Tue oops...I mean "unsuspecting" speeders. (NT) -- Mike B., 22:10:49 12/10/02 Tue errhhhh... too late, you spelled it, you bought it. unsUspecting! (NT) -- Sherlock Spellchecker, 22:43:58 12/10/02 Tue "I am 'drawn' towards them"...Have you given any thought to changing your name to bughawke. (NT) -- Fumey Gator, 13:16:29 12/11/02 Wed OHP Trooper hit yesterday in Hocking County while trying to stop traffic for a jacknifed semi truck. The guy who hit him did'nt stop. The troop[er was tacken to an area hospitaland is listed in fair condition. The trooper was hit during daylight hours (NT) -- Dan, 11:04:58 12/12/02 Thu Sounds unfortunate for the Trooper, but what does the color of his car have to do with that if he was out directing traffic? -- or was he seated in the car?, 11:56:13 12/12/02 Thu

Collector car insurance	Leo	14:24:03 12/05/02 Thu
I insure my 85 Gran Fury through Stae Farm. They have an insurance plan for collectable and antique cars. (NT) -- Dan, 16:37:01 12/05/02 Thu The cars got to be over 25 years old, though! (NT) -- Hagerty in MI is good, ....., 18:17:53 12/05/02 Thu Not really, I insured a 1988 Ford Stoner ambulance a couple of years ago. I put classic insurance on it. They stipulate that you don't drive it over 1000 miles a year and has to be driven for car shows or special events only, not for a daily driver. (NT) -- Dan, 21:14:40 12/05/02 Thu I pay $150.00 a year for 4 cars, full coverage, same as my daily drivers (NT) -- Hagerty has unlimited milage on all of its' policies......, 16:10:58 12/06/02 Fri Hi all, I used to have JC Taylor. Then I found out that at the time they wouldn't cover my cars unless I was physically with them at the time. In other words, in a restaurant, spending the night at a hotel, if they're out in the parking lot, they weren't cover. They may have changed this as it's been several years, but you might want to doublecheck. I've had Hagerty ever since, they were cheaper and had better covereage. Had a claim while my 58 Studebaker was parked downtown, their customer service was great. If I had had JC Taylor at the time, they wouldn't have covered it. Good luck. (NT) -- Darryl, 20:18:24 12/06/02 Fri I use an agent who writes through Haggerty and they are great -- ford jockey but prefer Mopar, 13:22:27 12/07/02 Sat with any kind of milage restriction. (NT) -- It wasn't Hagerty, 08:45:13 12/10/02 Tue with any kind of milage restriction. (NT) -- It wasn't Hagerty, 08:46:39 12/10/02 Tue JC Taylor. -- Dave Arnold, 21:47:31 12/05/02 Thu J C Taylor -- Hose Humpers with bad backs, 10:54:27 12/06/02 Fri JC Taylor has been my only insurance provider for three cars over the last 12 years -- Greg, 13:12:23 12/06/02 Fri GRUNDY in Pa, NO MILEAGE LIMITATIONS, Office Staff is a Litttle Slow, $100 for 10,000 coverage (NT) -- Chevy, Ford, Dodge & Plymouth Owner, 14:19:21 12/06/02 Fri I have a hard time putting 300 miles a year on my car but then I trailer it. Well, when I have a trailer, that is. If you are going to drive to shows, then you might consider going with someone who has unlimited miles. (NT) -- DA, 15:37:46 12/06/02 Fri I did close to 6,000 this year (NT) -- Notlooking Forarepeat, 18:22:50 12/06/02 Fri

(NT) -- If it was such a great motor with "better" heads, why didn't someone buy the motor just for that and part out the rest of it, ..."tonnes", you mean "tons" of what?, 10:39:21 12/03/02 Tue "modded a lil!" modded ALOT! If what your engine guy is telling you is actually true! (NT) -- Ford raced the heads on the '71 429CJ PI car, and they are evolved from the 429 racing head. They never did that for the '78 460 heads...GO FIGURE!, 10:31:18 12/03/02 Tue yes they did -- Chris, 22:25:23 12/03/02 Tue you said they've been "modded a Lil" If thoise specs that you recited to us are true, those heads are FAR from stock!

Why don't you port and polish those heads, and a 3" stainless exhaust with flowmasters, put a high lift cam in it, 10:1 pistons,etc, -- you'll have a real "hot" car there, nothing close to stock though, and the much lighter weight, more powerful higher torqued '71 429CJ will still kick your ass!, 10:24:47 12/03/02 Tue your wrong! -- Chris, 12:07:11 12/03/02 Tue Ramble ,...ramble ,...ramble....there's NO telling you anything! -- you've never driven both cars in stock configuarations, so it's YOU who don't know!, 19:21:14 12/03/02 Tue Sounds like you two really know your stuff -- New and improved Mr Nice Guy, 20:09:14 12/03/02 Tue Well Mr, Nice Guy You missed a good point, neither of these boobs know the difference between "your" and "you're" I guess they both flunked 7th grade English class because they were out in the parking lot discussing who had the fastest bicycle.

(NT) -- Why? Are you so BAD?, 13:11:04 12/08/02 Sun "he tells me that the 460 PI's are much and I quote (MUCH) faster than the stock 460's" -- I never said that. Read much?

Jealous?, 11:40:18 12/04/02 Wed which web sites are hese -- where are hey?, 13:55:46 12/04/02 Wed Hey, I Remember Those Fords, 0 - 60 in 14 seconds, the 1/4 mile in about 25, top speed 106, if you had a fast one, your co worker with 1 of the remaining 440 Plymouths had to come to the rescue (NT) -- Four Hundredsucker, 14:51:21 12/04/02 Wed Follow the Yellow Brick Road -- .......in dream land!, 17:21:19 12/04/02 Wed Once when I was living in South Dakota I drove on Yellow Brick Road in a 74 Ford 460 Interceptor, what an adventure!
