Wouldn't that pollen blow off once you get up to speed?

Which reminds me... Yesterday the light for low washer fluid came on. That's a bit odd since the washers have never been used. Or the wipers. Then again, I've had to add some to my '10 tractor, and may have used the washer function on it once.

Well, last time I drove it was up the hill to get the oil warm, and thankfully the distance to empty increased drastically when descending nearly 3,000 feet on the way back. Thought about getting a gallon in a can at some point to ensure making it to town, but never got around to it. Besides...

Put gas in mine today. Had to drive really slowly to make it to town on the little that was left in the tank. Chevron must make decent gasoline since it lasts for a long time. Well, at least with some Star Tron added. The prior fill-up was on 5-30-23.

I had a very early Red Top, a prototype actually, that also lasted a LONG time. How long I don't remember, but that one didn't live an easy life. It was never on a maintainer or treated to desulfation, and got to run my Jeep's winch every now and then. It was impressive. Come to think of it...

My record is 24 years on a set of Optimas. It probably helped that they were always on a Canadus desulfator, and on a BatteryMINDer maintainer when parked, or a solar panel when out and about in the sticks.

Until there's a curve in the road....where a 911 driver wouldn't even have to lift.

We've done that. And used oil out of sardine cans in the crankcase. Sometimes, after a rollover, you do what you gotta do to get going again.

That's good to know. We once put water in the master cylinder to be able to make it off a trail and back home. Water, since nobody wanted to waste their beer. Well, those brakes only lasted about 20 miles. Had we only known that peanut butter would work...Not that we had any, but still.

Do the right front in the first quarter, the right rear in the second quarter, and so on. In one year they're all done and it's time to start over.

I am kinda getting used to how the rear end of it looks. Of course, that's what I see when coming back from the garage...and have been drinking.

To me, the great thing is being able to quickly look just a bit to the side and rest my eyes on the Hellraisin Challenger parked next to the taxi.

Nope. And it doesn't help that I see a taxi every time I open the front door...on the house.

You're so full of it, DavidKFla. Has anybody, ever, wore a jacket in Florida? Or maybe you guys do...when it goes below 85 degrees?

Five different passengers?!? Are you giving people rides for a fee, or why so many?

That is correct. The only things that have even been in the backseat of mine is two rear fenders for a Peterbilt.

What makes you think I ever did?

My notifications largely stopped showing up months ago, on this and other sites.

Well, if that was the case I wouldn't have to pull money out of my IRA to pay for the RePete.

Okay then man in black. Here's my infallible plan: If you buy a fourth one you'd also be rich. After buying my first house, a few people said "Ooh, you bought a house. You must be rich." My response was "Alright, why don't you also buy a house and get rich?". Some of them got it, I think.
