I'm sure I've already mentioned it at some point, but when my girlfriend foolishly tried launch control in her Turbo S she got a very bloodshot eye as a result.

Until you try a 0-60 against one, then the joke's on you.

I did carefully choose myself. And only myself.

I guess they sell mountaineering equipment at the base of Britton Hill...to the locals.

Why? I'm looking at about 11,300 outside the back window, and that's a hill to me. I don't really need no stinkin' mountains, but I sure don't want flat and alligator infested either.

And I consider anything under 12,000 a hill.

A measly 345 feet is comical. I had a larger difference in elevation at my lot in California.

They say that you're only as old as you feel. If that's true I'm even older than DavidKFla.

I've had a few quite rare ones, but that's not why I bought them. Like Man in Black, I got them because I liked them. Currently I have a vehicle that they only made 13 of, and best I can tell it's the only one in the USA. All 13 were sent to Mexico at one point, but apparently mine is the only...

It's even the wrong kind of donuts.

So do we, so it's a wash.

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.
