Not by an airport or downtown.   Its just out by the interstate.  
Nothing special at all. If there was a Motel 6 next door, it might have

For really high mileage you put a VE TDI engine into it. Less weight 
than a 601, more power and due to the turbo more efficiency. I 
regularly broke 50mpg in my '98 Jetta, in a really light car it'd do 
better.

Anybody ordered from M*Carbo before?I ordered one of their Mossberg 
500 trigger kits yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpF4vwy9Fk
A week or so ago I fired my 500 with the slug barrel, it shot 
adequately but not "minute of deer". I was thinking the problem is the 
trigger. I plan to pull it apart and polish the seer (yeah I know, 
don't change the angles) and figured a new spring wouldn't hurt while 
I was there...
As an aside a month ago I found 180gr .300 Savage ammo, I've got my 
grandfather's Savage 99 which shoots 150gr bullets sideways. I took it 
with me to the range when I shot the 12ga. I fired 2 shots offhand, 
buddy Ben looking through the scope says "I think you hit just under 
the paper, good windage." We walk down range (50 yards) and, well I'll 
let you see the picture...

You can see the two hits below the paper, they must have been there 
before we started...

Snears was in a downward spiral 50 years ago.  The gravity pulled it 
down faster the lower it went.   no tears.   It was self inflicted.


Crapsman hand tools were the last bastion of kwality at snears, until 
maybe 20 years ago.

You are correct. That said, the fuel curve can be designed to lean out at a 
certain throttle position at a given rpm range in top gear. But yeah, it would 
be darn difficult to keep ones foot out of the throttle.

 LOL, good thing too.
Since he quit smoking my dad has gotten really random. When he bought his Jeep 
he told me "I saw the color and just had to have it." You have to understand 
that I'd never heard my dad talk like that before. I'm pretty sure that this is 
actually an alien replacement.
I don't remember the exact story on this gun but I expect its one he bought and 
is too small for him to shoot but it was a "good deal." I got my flintlock 
rifle the same way, its for a right handed shooter but my dad is left handed...

 They claim the reduced trigger pressure will help shooting clays. An 8#

If its warm-ish I might try sporting clays on Sunday. Definitely going the
