She likes that backseat, huh?

No, I sold that one a while back. Time to get a more capable tow vehicle again. And with a sleeper. Seems like I can't quite handle those 1,600+ mile drives without stopping along the way anymore. Last time I had to give up within a few hundred miles of home.

Even large people should be able to stretch out comfortably on that size acreage.

Dang. If the mileage was reasonably low I would've been tempted. I could use a beater car. Umm, yet another beater car. Okay, I really don't, but for $2K...Then again, it's probably better to save some money for the Pete I bought and will have to pay the balance on in about two months.

I do have some experience with that, yes. It's possible to damn near double the price of a Turbo S if falling for the nearly endless amount of options. The one I'll never forget is the shiny gas cap for $400 something - which is hidden behind an access door. My favorite is the no-cost option...

Even if it means having to trade in the Pacer?

A " ...a six-figure discount..." is not quite accurate. But they should really sell well it that was true.

Yep, vehicles would be somewhat limited-use here without AWD. Which is why we have the GT AWD Challengers. This "winter" being the exception since we never actually had a winter. First time in years I took the 'Cat off of insurance, too. Figures, since there's only been a handful of days I...

Oh, and to clarify, last summer I bought a '19 Durango GT AWD Plus with 92K miles on it for cheap. That one I really like so it's a keeper.

Indeed I did. Back to the dealer I bought it from, some four months later. Still with the same 18 miles on the odometer as it had when I picked it up.

Meanwhile, the owner of the good dealership I use called and asked permission to put seven miles on my new '23 Durango, assuring me he'd do it personally. Some new rule says they have to. He knows how I feel about gear break-in and such, so of course I gave him permission. Which was easier than...

You only say that because you haven't seen mine.

Ha! At least a couple of times per month I comment on how "the car she didn't need" gets used so much. It took me a couple of weeks to talk her into ordering that one, but I'm glad I persisted. And more importantly, so is she.

I didn't realize how well the OE intake works until changing the filters on my girlfriend's TRX the other day. Felt a little bad having gone past 22,000 miles when the book says to change them at 20K, but was pleasantly surprised to find the "dirty" side being darn near as bright white as the...

As long as it hasn't been idling the whole time it'll be fine. Dust washes off.

It does. Otherwise the jack stands would be unnecessary.

I thought you knew, 2ndAmend. Half of those miles are achieved by idling the car in gear on jack stands.

From what I can tell EricG didn't do anything to his 'Cat today...but he's lusting for a V8 Pacer.

Fixed.

Why wouldn't you? Judging by your driveway photos it doesn't look like you're hitting an Interstate on-ramp within a few hundred yards of leaving the house, making me think that by the time you do have to/want to get on it a little, the oil is probably up to 100 degrees or so. If you needlessly...
