And as usual, I didn't do a thing to mine today. But did start considering selling my favorite car. Why? It'd be part of my latest quest to slow down a bit. One of these days my luck will run out and I'll either run off the road or lose my license. Sure, I could just drive it more slowly...

Garage queen? Well, I suppose that then my '18 Challenger is a garage king with just over 5,000 on it. And it's not a she, so definitely not a queen. Also, it has been trouble free, proving that it's not a female. And the '21 TRX isn't a garage queen either, with about 4,000 miles on it. Aside...

Yep. And in rain, snow, whatever the weather serves up. But hey, those are her cars. Most of mine are under roofs.

And that's a bad thing? I wouldn't have bought a 'Cat if it was easily distinguishable from a less powerful version.

I have all the tools, buffer and such, and the patch plugs to do a legal repair. But haven't used any of that stuff in years. It's so much quicker to fix a tire with a Safety Seal plug while it's still on the car.

I wouldn't want to own a home on any kind of road. Besides, doesn't roads have easements on the sides that you can't build on either?

Oddly enough, our ordered '19 Redeye that took 17 weeks to make it to the dealer after it was built (and that was during the winter) only had very minor surface rust on the machined and unpainted parts. And that was after it had spent time at least once in every storage yard they had, so it...

Ah, but it's not a pickup. That's the beauty of a cab and chassis, you get a longer (flat) bed. Plus a longer wheelbase, higher fuel capacity, and other useful things. But it sounds like you need a bigger garage.

Hey, I put about 250 miles on the V6 Challenger today. Would've liked to take the real one, but it's still on hibernation insurance. Didn't feel like paying 80 some dollars for one short drive.

You most definitely would be. No way am I going to Laredo this time of year.

She may pitch a fit, but that won't make me pitch a tent. If anything I'd go sleep in the toy hauler - which a 1500 could only dream about being hooked up to.

No you're not, Man in Black Although I can see how you city slickers feel that a car with a little bed on it (a 1500) is long. The Smart and other micro cars exist because of people like you.

Okay, if a 1500 with a real bed is a bus, what is my girlfriend's crew cab longbed? Or my 3500 with a longer wheelbase and a 9' bed?

Tire shops have no choice. For it to be a legal repair the tire must be dismounted and the liner inspected. At that point you might as well use the real thing, installed from the inside.

Time to buy a Safety Seal kit, if you don't already have one.

Well, as long as it doesn't hurt the cars....

No car covers, no dust, no problems.

Too late now but I'd highly recommend the Milwaukee Fuel M18 version.

You're not fully awake yet, are you Man in Black? Regular aluminum wheels don't rust either, but can corrode. Carbon fiber won't.

I know. Been running those curb feelers for no reason.
