VFR800 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I believe you man,just saying Guatemala must be low on reporting priorities for the news outlets here. Update,the death toll must've needed to hit like 50 or more for it to rate for news here - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-05/guatemala-fuego-volcano-death-toll-climbs/9834448 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Probably because Canada uses the metric system and what-not Actually only America and maybe one other DON'T us metric. Then it should be a higher number, unless it's like the imperial gallon to the us gallon then it would be less. Perhaps we muricans just don't know the conversion algorithm to probably conversation Guatemalan deaths to Canadian ones. Uh the imperial gallon is 1.201 times larger that the US. Or 4.546 liters to your 3.785 Confirmed is very different from presumed, you of all people should know that. I guess 1,200 sounds so much more impressive . Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 So, last week I am on a trip to Chicago area for a memorial for a family member. Pull into the local Wally World and see this. Only real differences I could see were the wheels and possibly the paint code. Mine is the one on the left....1200 some odd miles from home. This is an actual store in Iowa (I think it was Iowa). And since I am a weirdo about numbers....... 2 Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Drove my Datsun to work today after alternating my '55 Chevrolet, '64 Fairlane and the wife's '74 Maverick for three months. People kept asking me, "So, whose car is that?". That's mine. That's my baby. "THAT'S your baby!?! Out of all those cars!?!". Yup. My gauges died on the way and I panicked a bit until I thought, "Fuse. Just a fuse." Pulled up at the house, saw the ammeter fuse was blown (found a bare wire in the process), swapped it out and all is well. Not sure what all my buddy did besides install the reworked head but it idles very nicely now (lower RPMs) and will snap your head back if you hit the throttle too hard! Before the far right pedal was mostly a foot rest. Has anyone done a Weber swap on a NAPZ? Does anyone have a write-up or video on it? 3 Quote Link to comment
