    no driving experience & traveling w/a dog

    That is where I would draw the line. A dog as large as a Boxer if it were friendly yes, any bigger or meaner of a breed no. Even if it were a friendly dog the breed has its reputation. Also could an owner be held liable should ole Roscoe decide to tear an arm off?

    I had the same problem but not that low. Get to the Allison Dealer, and Cat Dealer. Change that 5spd over to the 6spd its computerized but the two manufactures must run a spec sheet. The rpms will drop by 17% as it did for me. The noise level alone was worth the idea. The rpms are just to...

    There is another post on here regarding life changing events or seeing a death on the road. We pass these monuments by loved ones daily if not hourly. Everyone of these means not so much that someone was killed there, but that a family is in deep, deep pain. Thats what I think as I pass...
