When I moved from Wheaton, IL. to Superior, WI. I had considered buying a
robotic lawn mower. What I learned then (three years ago) was that these
lawn mowers do not mow in nice straight rows but rather use a random pattern
similar to how those toy battery powered cars from our childhood used to
does anyone remember when Chevy and others had the gas tank fillup for
cars under the rear license plates? I'm thinking the late 60's but a
friend is saying it was much earlier.Lee

Lee, I had a 76 Buick Regal where the gas tank was filled by laying the
spring loaded license plate down on the bumper. Don't know when the auto
industry stopped making cars with rear end spouts to fill the gas tank.
Hello Max,
Adjusting the track bar effects the handling of the race car. Basically in
back of the rear window there is a hole. a pit crew member will put a pole
in it and turn it, however many rounds they want to go up , or go down.
Basically what you are doing is moving the axle up and down.
I remember during the mid 80's attending a young high school girl who had a
summer job at a service station filling cars and washing wind shields.
She told me how she lost her job when, while serving a customer she stuck the
nozzle of the filler hose into a hole at the rear of the car which

There must be as many ways of assembling a clothes line as there are people
putting them up.
What did you have in mind? Something like a double line on pulley wheels? On
posts or between buildings or maybe an end on each? Maybe just a series of
static lines between overhead horizontal beams?
Hey Roger,
Pocono and Jeff yes! yes! yes!
Pocono is only about a little over a 2 hour ride.
I was at the track three times. Saw the first formula 1 and the first NASCAR

One of the best things at the first race was that Linda Carter rode in the

So, now I may have to change my favorites for drivers.
My wife introduced me to Nascar when we first got married. Now I follow the

What a great story. I really get a kick out of people who say things like

OK,
They offer several methods of setting them up, spikes in the ground and so on.
The only way I have done it and I did it twice I think, maybe three times was
to embed a pipe into a cement block. You probably only want a bag, maybe two of
pre-mixed stuff, sometimes sold as Sacrete you add

Well, look at it this way, if the robot mower mows in somewhat of a *random*
pattern the result could look like we mowed our own lawn. (LOL)
I do agree, however, that the mower could well pay for itself over a couple
of years.
We have had rain out the Kazoo this year and the grass and weeds have

I have a 1987 Chevy Caprice and the filler is under the license plates. I never
knew that there was an idea that they quit putting the filler there. I would
suspect that the filler could be anywhere, depending on the engineers that year.
