good news/bad news.

got a truck.

turns out, it's canadian. the hvac display is in celcius, and there's apparently no way to change it, the homelink mirror doesn't work(suspect it's regional), and all of the manuals that i wanted to sit down and read tomorrow are in french, but it gets 4 leafs in the rear leaf spring stack instead of the 3 that US trucks get for some reason...

Nope. Plug-&-play. :/

Of course I had to translate that ....... I hardly know American -

i can usually get the gist of what french is saying being that it's still somewhat close to the latin meanings of english words

but 'nice' and 'truck' look nothing like i'd expect them to be!

It's all wrapped up in interpreting the sneer. Once you figure that out you're golden.

Did you know if you approach a traffic light fast enough you can blueshift the red light to green?

At 1.11075e+8 MPH, stop lights will be the least of anyone's worries!

The speed to leave Earth's orbit is 'only' 11km/s, or mach 33, or 24606.3 mph

Wow, that's enough knowledge for 1 day

How did you end up with a foreign truck down in Chicago?
