Ahhh 5mph impact bumpers and the 200lbs they added.

I usually had a cigarette hanging from my mouth as I pumped gas. :)
Eh? You mean Nader bumpers. The 5mph bumpers were nice. They were like shiny rolled up cans. You put your foot up to lean on it, and it just comes off. Or do I have this wrong in my head? 71 and earlier right?

It's the 20 (?) mph bumpers that were huge and heavy. Mid 1973, 74 cars were now designed to crash rather than perform.

Just look at all the cool egg shapes we have now.

The 1973 model year was the first for new cars in the United States to meet federal bumper regulations that required cars to survive a 5-mph frontal collision without damage. These regulations were part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 215 (FMVSS 215),
In 1982, the federal government bowed to pressure from automakers and rolled back impact test requirements from 5 to 2.5 mph for 1983 and later model cars. The 2.5 mph standard also allows unlimited damage to the bumper and attachments
End

74 added the back bumper. It was the 71 / 72 that had the last skinny flimsy rails you could bend by looking at them

Can you fit it with a holding tank ??? How about water.
Leach pit or holding tank for septic and holding tank or drilling a well for water. Surface water is a possibility if you live in a city limits, they may require you to use their water septic and their power. No water, leach pits or Wells. Cost me $63 a foot just to bring those services to the property line, then from the property line to the house.

My sister used to make that a lot. She called it Hasty Pie. Or something like that. Same thing though.
Once assembled put it in the oven, there is your supper. Not many dishes.
I have seen it called different names. No matter what you call it, it tastes good.
You can use what kind of meat you want and use different tubers from potatoes.

I'm old fashioned and prefer the more traditional Shepherd's pie.

Hope you found your sister's Hasty Pie tasty.

Have had the Volcano for a bit I notice the taste and the effect with different temps relating to dosing caps.
I also notice and documented that no matter what temp I use ,if the dosing capsule is empty ,you get no taste or effect no matter how long and how hard you try and even with varied temps.
