About six 10 months after I got married I ended up going to Saudi Arabia as part of Desert Shield/Desert Storm leaving my bride behind in Florida. We'd actually only been in Florida for about 8 or 9 weeks and only in our house for about 5 weeks before I got sent away. Florida has some pretty peculiar laws about license plates that maybe don't totally jive with the spirit of the Soldiers and Sailors relief act, and this was also when they were doing the big push on Impact fees and new tag fees. Bottom line is tags for her car (worth maybe $1,800-2,000) would be around $600, for my Mustang well over $1,000 since I bought the Mustang from my Dad in Michigan I never paid any sales tax as a transaction between family members was a non-taxable event. This really offended Florida and they wanted me to pay the sales tax. The wife was driving her car to work, the Michigan tags upset the university police so she started driving the Mustang. I get a letter from her that she's driving the Mustang but the gas mileage is really bad. A few days later I get another letter asking me if I knew I had a 5 speed in the Mustang. The University of South Florida Police were still PO'd that she was driving a car with Michigan tags and demanded I get at least Florida "Reg only" tags, yep I'm going to bop over to the Florida DMV office in Dhahran Saudi Arabia and pick 'em up on my day off. We also had an incident in the same Mustang during our honeymoon were I ended up with bruises on the front and back of my head from going to full boost with the turbo to smashing my face on the dash when she realized we were doing about 85 so she up shifted and hit the brakes. We have existed for the last 25 years as a happily married couple BUT anything she's going to drive regularly has had an automatic transmission.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
