The short answer is they're crazy! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Yes! Non-ethynole gas gives you better mileage. And it's better for your fuel system. My Yamaha XT-225 got 76 mpg on ethynole. When I went to straight gas it jumped to 80 mpg. Your mileage may vary. Another thing if your vehicle has a carborator, straight gas is much better for it. Shop...

Back about 1975, we were doing a quick 2 week tour of Mexico. Towing a Lovebug, it's like a fiberglass Cassita. Towed with a 1974 Datsun pickup. So we're in stop and go traffic on a divided 4 lane in the middle of Mexico City. This local cop walks up and says we ran the red light back two...

How about the VPN software that's out there? Won't it protect you?

What Texas Gypsy said.<br><br>You don't say what part of Florida you are in.&nbsp; In Tallahassee there are several Walmarts and numerous big box stores where you can park.&nbsp; There is also Apalachicola national park to the west about 15 minutes away.&nbsp; You can do dispersed parking for...

I agree they're a bit overpriced.&nbsp; But any of these specialty shops are.&nbsp; Although the Froe is pretty reasonable for an american made tool.&nbsp; <br><br>I like the pants stretchers too.&nbsp; Mom used to do all my pants on them when I was growing up back in the late 50's, early...

You might want to take a look at Lehman's.com for some of the items discussed in various threads on here. I've found food dryers, both electric and solar. Found a solar oven there. Also soap nuts from Asia. They even have a "Froe" listed for $42.95. Not too bad a price. If you are...

Take a quick picture of the stud from above. From that we can tell if the stud is 'right' or 'left' hand threads. I remember Chrysler products had left hand threads for a while on the driver side wheels. Also a 4' length of pipe over the breaker bar will give you enough leverage to usually...

Frontline finally quit working for Sugar. I use Comfortus now. Pricey but good stuff. It's a pill you give the dog. Sugar doesn't like it, so I grind it into a powder and mix in with some wet dog food. She thinks it's a great treat now. It's about $75-$80 for 6 months worth. But Sugar is 75...

Use the sulfur at 1/3 sulfur to 2/3 talcum powder ratio. This ratio keeps the sulfur from burning your skin. You can get it at Seed and Feeds or a Tractor supply place.

Welcome from north Florida Karen. Although I lived on the Space Coast from the late 70's till about 2001 or so. This is a warm bunch with lots of knowledge.

Well at one point I was looking for a step van. Found a chip truck. It had over a million miles. It had the computer hookup too. It had a manuel shift, which I really wanted for less maintenance. The guy wanted 4000$ for it and it was not built out. He didn't want to come down any either. You...

Sounds like a good deal to me. Diesel and a grumman. And the price is right. Have a mechanic check it out. Down here in Florida it would go for more.

The floor on the love bug,as I remember, was just 3/4" plywood with a lynoliun (sp?) floor covering. Wasn't real warm in the winter, not that we used it in the winter much. I think the underside was just painted, not fiberglassed.

So the fiberglass shell wasn't tied into the floor? Seems to me you woud want it tied together to give some strength. How is the shell mounted to the frame? Maybe they didn't tie the two together to prevent stress cracks from vibration and flex of the framing. I had a "Love bug" back in...

Hello and welcome. This must be the ole farts corner. I'm about in the same situation. 67, live in a rural area and work in Tallahassee during the week. Commute to the farm, 100 miles one way, to mow the grass etc. Working on a BlueBird Wanderlodge, 1979, as I get the chance. Main wish...

Just about any Florida beach access with a changing area has showers, generally not hot though. But who wants hot in the summer. On the fishing piers, where you pay to go out on the pier to fish, will have showers generally before the point you pay. At the Lovebug wash downs, at rest stops...

Not sure on the sulfer, maybe a feed and seed place. Or try Tractor Supply. They have farm stuff. If I remember in the morning I'll ask. --------------- Oh I forgot to mention in post #30 above. The sulfer is cut half and half with talcum powder. Edited to add...

In Florida if you cancel insurance or it is not current the insurance company has to notify DMV that it is not current. But I don't think the insurance companies keep it current. I had cancelled the insurance on an old Buick over a year ago. I used that tag on my newest acquisition, so it was...

I sorry I thought I saw above where you were still making payments on it.<br><br>Clean it up as advised above and list it on Craigslist and see what happens.&nbsp; Maybe even eBay.<br><br>Good luck with it.
