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...

True. On 1.000+ mile trips (not with the Challenger) I usually have to stop once to undrink. Especially in the winter.

I do. But only in the sense that I wish it went farther on a tank. And please don't misinterpret that statement. It has nothing to do with the mpg it gets, but rather how small the tank is. To me the Challenger is the perfect GT car, with the exception of having to stop every 400 miles, or...

I don't have to, but it's pretty damn convenient to have (on average) some 1,000 gallons of diesel and around 150 gallons of gas stored in tanks here at home. The ones I dispense fuel from have a batteries powered by small solar panels, so I don't even need to rely on coal powered electricity...

Erroneous errands and statements?

Not if you forget the charging cord at the store and keep having to go back to get it. Then it's only about 37,000 miles per year to run errands. Which is still 5,500 miles more than I have put on my Ram 3500 since I bought it in '17. Of course, I also don't forget what car I'm supposed to...

I must admit that I don't know if my A/C works. Take that, Unholy.

Oh, I wouldn't be anxious, just curious how far it'd go, not counting on making it all the way. The downside is the spotty cell service, so the test runs would have to be with a tow vehicle and trailer (with a winch) following along. But on the positive side, I could also bring a 6.5 KW...

Well, in our case the minimum distance for all but the local store is 70+ miles. Apparently the id.4 gets some 206 miles on a charge, so that's cutting it close. Past close if going south due to the elevation changes. That leaves one town to the north that'd be within reach, maybe. It's not...

At first I thought it was a misprint, a $59/mo.lease is quite affordable. Went on the dealer's website to check the details. Then called. With $2K down and for three years I thought what the heck let's do it. That's when I found out only Colorado residents qualify for a large chunk of the...

I doubt that walking/running while sitting down would help my knees much, if any. But I have to admit that when coming across a VW EV lease for $59/mo. for three years I was tempted to get one. Turns out the offer was only good in Colorado, so I still haven't been able to prove how useless an...

I get that. But my knees aren't good enough for running around, so I rather drive.

Good riddance. Hope they don't destroy something or somebody in the process.

It's nice that you gave it its pacifier when leaving it parked.

In my case, I really want to know what speed I'm driving when going through towns and such. Then I do not exceed the limit. Out on the open roads it's a different matter. Not that I get much of a chance to check the speedometer, but it's almost irrelevant if I'm exceeding the limit by 100 or 130%.

Our cars have navigation?!? Although, I know mine has a speedometer, which comes in handy if wanting to know what speed I'm driving.
