Why I like (most) German engineering
Because those fkkers never compromise. Check out Schwalbe tires and tubes for example.

Leica, Uher, Lowa -- take your pic. The Krauts know what they're doing. My favorite vacation spot, too! I wonder what those road tires run? I need a set for my commuter, but I'll bet they're spendy. Probably can't justify it for a commuter bike. A pair probably costs more than I spent for my road bike.

Now it sits proudly next to the Farm Boss and gets the preventative maintenance and attention it deserves.

Yea, ironicly my Volvo wagon needs the same work....its going to be a Behr..or I should say it is a Behr but I think I'm going to try another brand this time around.
For a high failure part, why in the hell to they put them so deep in the car? The heater core on the volvo is a 5-10 year part and is fairly simple while the evap design was obviously stolen from MB or vice versa. |

We go by the face cord because we have 2 face cord racks in the garage, when we cut we fill the racks.

I have recently returned to Stihl after a negative experience with a Stihl string trimmer. That thing never ran right, even after taking it back to the dealer and an independent small engine place.
I got talked into giving Stihl another try. I've got a Farm Boss chain saw and two string trimmers. Very nice machines. |

I like my 20 year old Zassenhaus pepper mill too, and of course all my knives are Wusthof.
