Yeah, I left kinda late. It's been in the teens at night lately, but not single digits yet. I really like fall since it doesn't get hot during the day. It's been quite nice (highs in the mid 60s or less), but now it looks like snow until Saturday. Still, that sure beats it being hot.

Now that it finally has cooled down, the other day I turned the heater on in the new to me Durango since it was about 25 outside. Warm on the left side, cool on the left. Close enough - I'm sure the heated steering wheel still works.

Hmm. And here I bought Challenger tips (very affordable take-offs) for my Trackhawk.

Don't forget to spray some tire goop on the new tires when they're installed, with some ending up on the rotors. I hear that really helps with brake performance.

Yeah, some of that leftover paperwork is pretty interesting. That car was the only one I ever got with all the plastic still in place, but more importantly, it was also the only one (out of at least a dozen) that all the fluid levels were correct in. For whatever reason, especially the rear...

I asked my salesman to leave my latest ordered vehicle alone, so they did. Perfect.

Part of me wishes that I had put at least 500 miles on the '23 and been able to stomp on it once. As it turned out it didn't get a single mile added to the odometer. Then again, it likely would've felt about the same as the Trackhawk so I probably didn't miss much.

I'm glad they usually don't. Saves me from removing those covers and adding them to the growing collection of needless extras.

I thought your goal was to stop, not go.

Okay, one more suggestion; don't use the brakes so damn much.

Those brakes should last well over six years now that Hellcatcfp isn't doing taxi driving in SoCal anymore.

Mine would've got hailed on if I took it out today.

Would you believe that it happened before I moved to the USA?

Well, it wasn't by choice. Stranded along a road a car eventually stopped, he had gas but obviously not 2-stroke oil. Had Italian or Greek plates as I recall, so I wasn't surprised when he pulled out a can of olive oil from the trunk, with a big grin. Major language barrier, too, by the way...

Noisy, yes by choice, but smelly??? Sure didn't smell bad the time I ran out of gas and ended up having to use olive oil as a 2-stroke mix. And there was some normal 2-stroke oil that also smelled very good.

Far from new.. My first motorcycle was a 2-stroke, and of course I tinkered with it all the time. Just like I always wound my way to the front at stoplights. And then took off at the highest possible speed when the light turned green. Well, this particular time I had lowered the idle, so when...

I'd find a another place that's suitable for human habitat, where A/C isn't needed.

That's more of a Florida thing isn't it? But I guess they grow lemons in California, too.

That must be your way of saying that you do not. But I can relate to the lack of garage height. Had the one in California built to accommodate a 1-ton pickup with a camper, since I'd never have anything taller than that. Which I didn't until buying a Peterbilt a couple of years later.

It's much easier in the summer.since whichever direction I go it'll usually be much warmer than here. Then the body starts dispensing of fluid through the skin, and I don't need to undrink. But I will turn on the A/C before starting to sweat. Guess I should try cranking the heater up in the...
