I'm confused, like Fifty150 above. Generally, you pay a core charge when you buy a component, then get it back when you return the old part. If they're charging you a core charge ... then you should get that back when you give them your standard pieces. In other words, if you have the old pieces in hand when you buy the reflectors, you should not have to pay any core charge. -
"Tongue weight" isn't about the maximum weight, but about the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Too much tongue weight can cause steering issues and increase the chance of jack knife on hard deceleration. If you're just placing 200 pounds on the back of your T.C., then it won't have [quite] the same effect on your steering. You won't have the weight of the trailer pushing your vehicle from behind. I think you'll be fine at or even a little over 200.

I had a 3 gallon (hot dog shaped) compressor from there ... bought it about 6 or so years ago. It worked for everything from tire inflation to a small air nail gun. It wasn't good for my die grinder or impact gun, though. Ran out of pressure too quickly. The regulator/control unit started leaking air. I took a look at it, and decided to buy another one, rather than trying to fix it. I haven't decided which one, but I'm veering towards the 21 gallon size.

As always ... your quoted price is before taxes and fees. "Prices do not include taxes and fees" I am not saying your price isn't better ... since I don't know what you're actually paying, but $35 is what I pay, total. (invoice)

Those scooters in the first pictures are not the solar powered one above. They have brakes for stopping, but they're manual labor scooters.

I won't bring my beliefs into a fun thread ... but just suffice it to say, I can't stand children. I didn't have any by choice, knew I wouldn't like them even if they were "mine". I'd never adopt (or like) someone else's brat.

I posted negative comments about my 2017 T.C.'s A/C .... and the fact that the vents are angled badly. I can't aim them to blow air where I want it. I didn't mention that noise levels, as they are secondary to the vent inadequacy. But now that you've brought it up ... it's annoying in my van, too.

That would be SOUTH Korean ... not north. I'll be dead before China gets full control ... and I don't have any brats to leave stuff to.

Central Florida. And I live 47 miles away from work, so a scooter ain't going to get me there.

I guess you haven't been in a Waffle House recently. ALL Waffle House Restaurants have Grits. I have to seek one out once in a while when I'm there on business ... just to get my fix.

It's a small plastic piece. Pick a color and paint it, fer crying out loud !!!

My GPS works just fine. So does my laptop computer that I use at home. One thing I DON'T need, a GPS/laptop/keyboard in my phone. I still have my flip phone. No texting on my phone account, so I only pay $35.00 a month, unlimited calling. Of course, none of that matters, if we get the self driving cars. I'd ride the train/bus if it took me directly from home to work ... but nothing like that exist where I live.

Being the miserly old cuss that I am ... I buy whatever's on sale when I need to replace my tires. I think the last brand I bought was ... "Okayyear"? "Hankooky"? "Fired Stone"? Something like that.

Whimps! I know it's still years away ... but I really am looking forward to an hour nap-time while my car gets me home. This ... https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/736c464a-3419-49a7-8ce7-ebc9c0821244 Not this ...

Nice modification, Don. -
I'll be 59 next month, but I think back up cameras are great. So it's not a "new age" thing. But, if you insist on going archaic ... Just punch a hole in the door right above the ball. That will let you see that you're on target for the hitch !!! Simple !!!

Did you recently change brands of fuel? Buy from a different store? Look for holes in your exhaust system. There's a big difference between burning sulpher (smells like rotten eggs) and and electric insulation (smells like ... um ... insulation). Determine which one it is! Get a small piece of wire if you can, and melt it with a lighter. That will let you experience insulation.

Looks good! Welcome to the site. -
Nope ... all of those are airplanes or helicopters. None of them can be driven through a city or town. Above them, yes, but not through. I want anti-gravity, floating/flying cars that can be parked in my drive or in a parking space at Walmart without breaking down the wings or props. Actually, I don't want wings or props at all. Anti-gravity, if we ever discover it, will also serve as the drive unit. Blade Runner 2049 Total Recall Transit Connect !!!

That's not a flying car ... that's an airplane with a car shaped cockpit. These are flying cars.

I've tried IN-n-Out when I've been out that way ... and, like 5-guys ... they put too much "salad" on the burgers.

Yea for the future, Fifty !!! I grew up ready sci-fi ... fully believing we'd be "there" by now. I liked the cars of "Demolition man". Or the more recent film, "I, Robot". I never expected transporters, always realizing the impossibility of turning matter into energy without the accompanying megaton explosion. BUT, I did expect flying cars with self driving capabilities and cyborg alternatives to growing old and dying.

I don't even know what the original post was about, but all these posts about McDonald's and Taco Bell (My favorite of the two) is making me hungry. However ... I'll be stopping at Arby's !!!
