If any of you guys pay attention to the NHRA, I was wondering what you thought of Angelle Savoie.  Just in case you don't know, she is in the pro-stock bike class, and just one her second title

 

I personally think its pretty cool that she is out there doing so good.  Plus she is looks good, and was real nice when I met her about 3 years ago.  So what do you guys think?

She's pretty, intelligent, and can ride a bike like nobody's business. What's not to like?

Ummm Jp, would you please elaborate on who exactly that is in the picture you posted?   :D

 

You actually want to know about her?  Thought you just liked to look at pictures!   :D

 

Well, this is Johanna Herlevi from Finland.  She drives in the European tractor pull circuit for the Valtra pulling team.  Have I ever seen her?  No.  Why is she my favorite?  Any hot woman that drives a tractor as well as she does catches my interest!   ;)   She actually is quite good at it.

I guess since she is from Europe, it gives me an excuse for having never heard of her.  I have to agree that any woman that looks like that, and drives a tractor would get my attention as well.  LOL

 

I think I will still keep Angelle as my favorite woman in motorsports though.   :D

Yes, she is pretty. Yes, she can ride with the best of them. Yes, she is my favorite female of Pro Stock Bike in NHRA.

 

But my favorite Female racer of all right now is John Force's Daughter.

Um, I'd have to go with an emphatic YEA! :love:

She is attractive, in my opinion, but ya also have to respect her for doing something that is stereotypically not a 'woman's' thing to do.  And doing it well is even better.

 

The tractor gal is looking good, too.  I guess I never realized that they did that stuff in Europe.  I did see some European drag racing once on Speedvision, that was kinda strange to watch...

It was funny when Angelle first started racing the bike, all of the veteran male riders started complaining that the rules gave her an unfare advantage.  She only weighed about 105lbs so that left her team with the ability to move about 50-70lbs(as compared to a ~160lb male) around on the bike and still be under the weight limit.

 

When a couple of the competition's crew chiefs were asked about it their answers were typically, "If I could find a 105lb rider that could cut her times then I would have a new rider too." :D

I have to agree completely jp...hot women and tractors are a beautiful combo.   :D

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .

      OCI, not when but why?

      It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer?

      Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By carkhz316 · Posted

      Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
