I don’t remember the number off the top of my head, but I don’t believe its quite that heavy. The thing is built like a tank, though.

Yeah.... I'll bet it's close to 4 though. They are a land yacht for sure.

btb01 Barrett I'm old enough to remember when the Checker was "THE" NY taxi. Does yours have the jump seats?

A week ago we took a ride to the Corning Museum of Glass. It had been a few years since we'd been there. Well worth the trip.
Along the way I noticed a creek I hadn't seen before. I'm sure there are many Creeks named Fall Creek, but this one is not too far from me and looks like a nice creek to drop a fly on. I just renewed my $5.00 New York State old man fishing license.
I'll make sure I have my Northwoods Fall Creek with me when I do.

I’ve fished Fall Creek before! It’s been quite a few years, but a cousin in Ithaca took me to a couple spots. Seems like we had the most success near the falls near Cayuga Lake.

Definitely seems worth checking out.

A decent 4 way wrench, a two ton bottle jack with a cheater for jack handle and some treated 2x6 and 4x4 blocks are standard equipment in my truck. And a AAA card.

No jump seats. Mine was never actually used as a taxi. They used to sell them as passenger vehicles, though I don’t think that ever caught on quite like they did as taxis.

Built like the proverbial brick...telephone booth, they were.

I'll have to remember that! Thanks for the tip!

It's on my list now!

This one is for JohnDF .

Was Planet of the Apes a cautionary tale? Could it really happen?

I wouldn't worry about a bunch of fingerless chimps taking over the world.

Ever been to Cronulla pub on a Friday night?...

18V rattle gun for those pesky wheel nuts and ALWAYS PACK AS YOU JACK!

 

[kamagong]

Lol...I have no idea what you just said.

Apparently it’s the place to go on a Friday night if you want your wheels rotated but always come armed because you never know when one of those grease monkeys will become overly sensitive and careless with their impact driver.

I'm not sure that's right
I think a Cronulla pub is where you go on Fridays to see monkeys sharpen knives, so to speak

A man's got to know his limitations.

I was in Australia for three months several years ago, and found myself saying exactly that - often!

 

[meako]

North Cronulla pub is a classic example of tarting a place up but the clientele are and always will be Planet of The Apes reject extras.

You are missed my brother.
