Terry Harper Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Also seems to depend on the community leaders in regards to whats allowed and how established the family is. We had a family that bought a house and farm outside a neighboring town. They lived in the house for about two years One day I was surprised to find the house gone and an excavator sitting where the house use to be. They then built a new house in the typical Amish style used up here. My wife and I joked that that light switch on the wall must of been just a bit too tempting. Jokes aside, I enjoy having them as neighbors and friends. A lot of long dormant farm land is back in production and whenever I need help they are more than willing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my first prewar car in 2009 one of the first things I bought at Tractor Supply was this orange triangle. I still use it today on my 34 Chevy.

TerryB Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Most Amish in my area of PA are using LED lights on buggies and most everywhere else light is needed. Our local PBS station from Hershey did a report on rehabbing old barns into new uses. One thing they highlighted was the addition of solar energy to the barns and that the best companies to use for solar are owned and run by Amish businessmen.

Definitely standing tall but about the same length as those short wheelbase pony cars. I love the narrow width of my 34 Chevy as I can work all around it in the garage with room to spare.

padgett Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Amazing how big the modern pony cars are. A Challenger (198") is longer than my CTS DD (189") and even longer than my Grand Cherokee (190") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it seems like a smallish car, parked beside my 77 trans am, it is noticeably larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really noticeable if if you see one parked next to a real 70s Challenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
