Back-Burner Ideas

What I’m Pondering In The Back Of My Mind

I just thought I would share some of my back-burner, to-do list ideas with you…

To-Do:
-Get Class 8 truck from International to test-drive (no trailer)
-Get Volkswagen Jetta or sedan for road trip
-Prepare/Aquire chips for our old body style Power Stroke chip shoot-out
-Make an outrageously long, extremely wishful, lavish Christmas list and email it to all of my relatives!

Which do you think should be top priority?

1. You should do the International test-drive. It would be really cool if you could get your hands on a LoneStar to drive. Maybe you could take it to the drag strip and see what it will do:)

2. I like the way you think! All great idea's. I would definetly rank the International test-drive as top priority. I would really like it if you guys at DP would test more Commerical sized trucks, as well as industrial machines. Since pretty much every construction. mining, logging, agricultural, etc. machine has a diesel engine it only makes sense. I also like to see some more diesel ships and diesel electric locomotives featured.

Thanks, Garrett

4. I have been researching WWI/WWII diesel-electric submarines and thought that an article on them would be cool. The designers had so much faith in them to put them in a vessel designed to be quit. Diesels are loud(how they should be). But Diesel are super reliabe, dont make much flammable exhaust fumes that explode in small under water space...like gasser do, make enough power to easily charge batteries/ run electric motors, and were simple in design. Also classic military vehciles with diesel engines like M60 Patton tank, T-34 tank, M113 APC, Leopard 2 tank, etc. Good written guys!

Hummer H2 Research

Car specs are often a major factor when deciding on buying a new Hummer H2. Get all of the information you could want including data on performance, cargo space, handling, fuel efficiency, and all-inclusive car specifications. The 2009 H2 goes for a suggested retail price of $63,090.00, and comes with comparable warranty coverage to other vehicles in its class. Other similar vehicles are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Sprinter 3500.
