Re: Trashed Astro Differential
Driving forward, then slammin` it into reverse and hitting the gas...... can cause that diff carnage.
That was a waste of 411`s.

Re: Trashed Astro Differential
The whole hillbilly rollercoster is a waste of a v8 Astro.

Re: Trashed Astro Differential
Those were only 3.42 gears!? Oh my ... makes my 3.73 V6 look so weak.
Either way if they are being charged or sued they should learn to have waivers signed by the visitors.

Re: Trashed Astro Differential
Charges had nothing to do with an person who was injured jumping a motorhome. They were all bylaw infractions because a person complained about the ratty cars all over the property. However, as someone who drives past the farm on a regular basis, I wonder what grounds there were for this as I never noticed the farm before the whole thing made the papers and news. Even then I looked and could not see more than one or two cars from the road and it actually looked much tidier than many of the other farms I drive past.Kidhauler wrote:Those idiots were getting charged with a bunch of stuff last I heard.
