[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by palallin</i> <br /><br />Sounds good, but you left out an important varible: how much does it cost? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The price for the GP9E is $125 an hour, but some of the switchers are $95 an hour. Two can run it by taking turns and the cost is one half for each. That is what we did and that made it fairly inexpensive by todays standards. Just riding along with the other person is great and you get one hour of riding and only pay for your portion. Three or more can participate and everyone has fun. <br /> <br /> <br />The program runs from early May to November 15th normally, but we actually ran on the 17th since the weather was so good. The diesels do not use coolant except for water and it must be drained for the winter. That is the reason most will be kept running except for the new ones with anti-freeze in them. <br /> <br /> <br />http://www.wplives.org/
