Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

"Hello this is David from the vehicle service center. You should have received several notices your vehicle service cover has expired"

Just 'cause why not, I called number back and heard the recording: "The number you dialed is not a working number"

Are there really enough people that fall for that scam to keep these calls coming???

They'll keep trying until they actually see negative consequences.

I'm a bit unsure about the two on the ends, but I'll take a stab.

Left to right:
-Highbeams?
-Clutch
-Brake
-Gas
-Horn?

You get a B. The one to the right is the starter. None of this sissy turning a key to start the engine!

Mornin'

Mornin. Anyone want to see some pics from DV this weekend? Finally got a day off and caught a break from the smoke for about 3/4 of a day so me, the wife, and the Bronco asshole got a day trip in.

 

[Gaitero]

true. Also one must consider the floor mounted starter switch was obsolete before most of us in here were even born.

In the late 80s we had a Korean-war era military crane truck at work that acquainted me with that pedal.

It costs these companies little to nothing to robot call you. And with spoofing phone numbers, it is untraceable back to the ones really doing it. This should be illegal and It is a CROCK of CRAPOLA. That is why I try not to answer phone calls from numbers that are not in my contact list. There are times when I miss important calls by doing this...but I never answer a spam call.

I figure if it's an important call, they'll leave a message.

I was born in the late 80s.

But did learn how to operate 3 pedals.

Ok, here we go.

The charcoal kilns at Surprise Canyon, built in 1877 to supply charcoal to nearby mining camps. You can still smell the burnt cedar pitch inside of them.

Back on Wildrose highway, through Rattlesnake canyon and into the main part of the park.

We detoured up through Beatty Nevada to fuel up and check out Rhyolite ghost town (no pics), and then headed down to the road into Titus canyon. Stopped at the ruins of a town called Leadfield (interesting history of this mining camp that was built on false advertising and died quickly thereafter).

The old post office in Leadfield:

And an old wharehouse:

And then into the belly of the beast, Titus canyon. Believe me pictures cannot even come close to doing justice too the scale of all of this, you will feel small, very small.

I haven't driven anything myself that had the floor starter, but I was only familiar because of some videos of old cars from the 30s.

I've driven plenty of HMMWVs that have the high beam toggle on the floor though, lol. And my uncle's 68 Plymouth has it as well.

Cool pics. The kilns are neat.

As much as I appreciate a good Manual Transmission, I still like my auto. The Rubi in front of me at the Jeep event was making me nervous... She kept rolling back a lot and that was even before we got to the obstacles.

Outstanding photos! I bet the charcoal kilns smelled great!

Stop by when you’re visiting the JWHR embassy. You can drive my truck and check it off your list. lol
