My observation is that the Center for Biological Diversity's position makes
them very much like Religious Fundamentalists. Their overall purpose is
commendable but their methods and general attitudes are over kill and
annoying. I want to pat them on the back for some things while kicking them
in the ass for some others.

This article originated from the Center for Biological Diversity. From
what I understand, all that group does is file lawsuits. Does anybody know
if they actually do anything other than sue people to protect endangered
species?

I just saw this 4x4 vehicle for sale at a used-car dealership in Houston.

It has a bumper on the back with tire and gas can.It has a dual-gas tank.
It looks like it was well-maintained and well-built.Unfortunately,
the dealer is asking
$ 15,000.It has a V-8 and a 4-speed automatic transmission, solid
axles, good ground-clearance.The canvas roof looks in good shape.
I wouldn't own a vehicle with a carburetor, and I doubt you could pay
me to drive a
Ford, but it is ready to go off-road to some place where a cave is
difficult to access.
I am guessing a vehicle like this would be available at an affordable
price outside of
Houston, but they will sell it to a young wanna-be yuppie outdoorsman
who has more
money than sense.
My personal opinion is that a caver should not drive an expensive
vehicle up into the
Sierra Madres, but at the same time you will need something like this
to get to some
of the places were old logging roads have been abandoned and have over-grown. I
am not a big off-road enthusiast, so I don't know if those are the
ideal tires you would
want on a trip up there. You will wish you had those knobby
mud-tires in those
low muddy-spots that you occasionally have to pass.
My next car is likely to be very tiny and a miser on gas, and maybe a
Nissan Leaf.
While I have your attention,
Home Depot has a 2-pack LED headlamp set for only $ 4.88, which
includes batteries.
The lamps look good enough for a trip to Whirlpool.But they have a
flashing red mode
and a green mode.The brand is Defiant.I could not find the
headlamps on the internet.

t$15,000 can't be correct. My 1983 Bronco cost $1,500 when i got it. I need
parts. There are not many junked ones out here in Deer Corn. I need a tail
gate and a dash board. The dash caught fire when I turned on the heater and
the squirrel nest burst into flames. Lucky I had a fire putterr outter on
hand. It caused somewhat of a mess. The tail gate is stuck in closed and
the window is down, the electric motor fried at some point. A tail gate
would be nice and a dash. The radio is kaput too but the thing runs like a
top.
