What color's an orange, true or false?

Oh Mr.Reitveld

Is there any likelyhood there will be a hybrid or fuel cell 3/4 ton pickup truck within the next 5 years?

Jake
After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?

No question rose? Here in AJA our religion is questions, and making a post without a question is the only sin. Thus I will have to send my agents of spanking and retribution after you, to administer punishement for your transgression.

no color. And orange is not and orange, it does not exists, you simply think it exists, and thus you see its illusion, and not its truth.

No orange, no color, no jake, no Aphrodite, they are nothing and yet they are all the same thing. So does the orange have color, or does your mind color the orange?

That depends entirely on when the islamic fundamentalist terrorists push the mid east inot a long term conflict. Hezbollah is doing a good job of driving up the oil prices. I half think exxon and shell are funding them.


The faster oil goes up to $150 a barrel, and gase gets up to ten bucks a gallon, the faster we will see the car companies dust off and perfect alternative fuels. It has never been lack of practical technology that prevented the development of alterntive motive power, but rather a lack of incentive to develope it. Your telling me that in 100 or so years of automotive development we have not come up with a better powerplant than the gasoline internal combustion engine? No. we just haven't really looked.

Why be innovative when you can get rich? At ten bucks a gallon, I figure gas power will be dying off rapidly.

you didn't answer my question exactly, first off I drive a diesel and we have several hybrid cars and alternative fuel CARS. I am asking about when the auto giants will make a fullsize truck.

Typically cardboard or plastic containers packed in metal shipping containers.

So is Colette your agent? If so.. Ok - I can be found at Furu most nights. <waves>

Forgive me for stepping on any toes, Jake. They do make fullsize pickup hybrids

well cheerios float for the same reaoson everything else does: buoyancy. When soemthign wieghs the same as the water it displaces (or milk), then it floats a cheerio, with all the added air put in during the puffing process, wieghs less that the milk and thus they float.

Ships float because denisty is part of the equation, and if a steel ship can keep enough air under the waterline, due to its shape..the average density between the steel and the air will be the same or less than the water around it, and thus, it floats. (density and wieght being tied together by gravity). thus a million tones of steel ship can float, but five pounds of steel bark sinks rapidly.

That is the nutshell explanation.

allow me to clarify the term Fullsize pickup first if that is alright. Pickups are divided into usually 3 classes;
1/2 ton trucks are your standard f-150, dodge ram 1500 and the silverado
3/4 ton trucks are your f-250, dodge ram 2500 and the Silverado 2500HD
1 ton trucks are the big dual rear wheeled and include the Dodge 3500, the Chevy 3500 and the f-350

they are seperated by GVW and capabilities. A fullsize truck in my mind starts at 3/4 ton. As of right now there aren't any 3/4 ton or 1 ton hybrids available, hence my question.

How many posters post non-questions just for the spankings?

Can this be a non-question?




damn.

True, a delsel is no gas powered, so I should have said petroleum fule internal combustion engine. Hybrids are not free of the need for gasoline, so they do not count.

I am thinking they might already make CNG powered trucks though.

I suppose you are right, I did not exactly answer your question..the answer is if the terrorists drive the price of gas up to ten bucks a gallon in the next five years, yes. If gas remains around four dollars a gallon, most likely not.

Collete is, among others.

There is no forgiveness for not asking a question. Posters can provide information, or debate the issues..but each post in Ask Jake Anything must have a question..unless you are me. Thus you are being spanked for not asking a question, and collete will spank you.

Each post must have a question. Even those explaining earlier questions. colette will spank you as well.

If Ethanol counts as alternative fuel, GM maks a E85 3/4 ton.

Dammit, I knew I should have rephrased the response!! Where do I go to get my spanking?

as long as the wife doesn't find out

You like the spankings, don't you. Colette and your wife will spank you now. Especially After I tell your wife you are in the market for another truck.

And they do make CNG 3/4 tons, Santa Monica Owns four of them..I am trying to find out who made them, or if they were an after market conversion.

the truck is actually for her, I'm tired of her taking my truck to haul her horses around! I guess I get another spanking

Hell maybe I should have you spanked for letting your wife drive around with high-priced shitters.

they keep her out of my hair during football season (I am a high school football coach)

I guess now I am a glutton for punishment damn spankings hurt so good

I hope you don't live in texas.

Answering the second one first. Since it isa question, it canot be a non-question.

I am not sure many do, but there are a few.
