Urban Camouflage

Lack of green CMP’s is just a bit of their chameleon ability to hide in urban environments.

If I'm not mistaken I think I caught him at that at Gracie's... he didn't think we were looking...

Phil,

Great idea! If they "fade" into the urban environment, maybe Bob and I can store them in the city and the wives would not be the wiser...only one glitch - politically correct, save the environment, thug huggin', do gooder, tree hugging, birkenstock wearing, volvo driving, liberal, free-range kid raising, save the whales types (a huge majority in the Town that Fun Forgot) don't cotton on to rusty trucks too well.

Oh, well. They will have to stay "countryfied"...

green things

I remeber the kids getting farily excited once whilst driving the Ford and they almost hit a bird, Max really got over excited when he passed a kid on a push bike as well. Max had the ford up to 60 miles per hour when he threw into angel gear and the speedo boke after 60 miles per hour so he was really flying

As one old Chevy truck mechanic (you know the type use a 3 foot screw driver as a stethoscope) told me if you don’t hear the valves their burning.

If it were French, wouldn't it be "Flench", as in "Flench Flies"?

By reason of curious aspiration, perhaps. Wahay off topic...What response would you get at a Chinese restaurant if you said to the Chinese waiter "The rice is rubbery"?
