Go for it, Eric! I almost bought a base V6 Challenger the other day. It's $21K...or an extra $1.5K for an AWD. They even have one in Triple Nickle at this TX dealership. But as tempting as that was, to have a basic beater car, having five Challengers may be a bit much. Although, to keep the...

How can a basic Farady cage stop working??

Thanks. Mine came with optional 5-spokes, a $1,000 option as I recall, and while they weren't black they sure weren't far from it. Took me a while to figure out that what I wanted wasn't Brass Monkey (eventually learned that it was the color, not the style of wheel). Really lucked out and...

Your wheels would be a close second to my Hyperblack split spokes. And if the car wasn't Granite, I'd probably prefer yours. Also, I spent some money on Alcoa outers for my new trailer - because it came with black wheels. Yes, it would've been cheaper to paint the stock steel wheels silver, but...

But...but...the factory ones can't be any good since they came with the car. For free.

Random thought: The best way to have four doors is to have two Challengers.

Not quite. She traded in her favorite car, a basic Cayman, on a GT4 then quickly realized her mistake (with help from me, of course). A GT4 just isn't the same fun all-weather beater as the base model. Couldn't find a new Cayman in the correct color, so she bought a low mileage used one, and...

I'm just glad that the deal on the "high mileage" one in MO fell through. Whether driving or trailering, there hasn't been a single day in about a week and a half that there hasn't been storm/hail/tornado threats between here and there. Aside from making the trip a bit simpler, driving...

Depending on if he has other stops or not, the most direct route would be I-70.

It's in St. Clair, at a Cadillac dealer. I sure hope they get a late start on that transport as it looks like more storms, hail, and tornadoes along the way today. If nothing else, a spot on the lower deck would be a good thing.

DGatzby, could you please keep the weather in your neck of the woods, and WSW of there, under control for a few days? The new "new" GT AWD is leaving MI early this week on a transporter. I can only hope it's on the lower deck with all the hail and crap that seems to be a daily occurrence now.

Hunter, and DavidKFla, consider that the more alligators you pluck out of the water, the lower the sea level will get.

I recently came across a flood zone map for this place. I think it said "high danger", or something to that effect. And yes, it's obvious that a whole bunch of water came through here at some point, or there wouldn't river rock only about four feet below current ground level. But that must've...

Yeah, I did the 2-day about two months ago, and suggested she'd also do it. Unfortunately for her, it'll be much warmer there now. I brought my own accommodations, she's catching a plane today. Probably wearing a jacket and driving to the airport with the heater on, to practice for AZ temps.

Sorry Eric, forgot to respond to this portion of your post. Both of us going to ABQ at the same time isn't happening, unfortunately. Somebody has to be on animal duty. Is Gus big enough to take over your old 'Cat when you buy that new one?

I'd take rusted rotors over people having test driven a new car, anytime. The rust goes away after a few brake applications, but you can't get the time back to break everything in (especially the gears) properly.

Bad ideas?!? Sounds like great idea to me. The sell-trip went fine, and in the process I learned how she consistently gets just over 24 mpg. Yes, she did stomp on it twice when passing, but where I tend to go 100-120, she did 80. And where I do 80 she did 60. Haven't entered today's fill-up in...

I managed. We came back about an hour ago. And she was driving her 'Cat, me in the GT, so any attempts at fleeing would've happened on the way there.

Not my 'Cat,but we used hers to go drop off her GT AWD at Carmax.. She needed to get reacquainted with it anyway, before going to Radford next week.

What are you waiting for, Eric? Or don't you like the color? By the way, we almost ended up in your 'hood, but Carmax outbid Carvana and we can drop off the "old" Hellraisin in Santa Fe instead of in ABQ. Well, that's tomorrow's fun and games.
