Can make it interesting to take off in the Challenger in the morning, at maybe 25 degrees, then lose several more by gaining altitude. By the time I get to the lower elevations an hour or so later the tires finally warm up...but by then the roads tend to be straight so the traction isn't...

You must have missed a few of the previous posts, like that it was 90 the other day. Today it's a much more tolerable 70 by the way. Also, it's not uncommon to to have a 50 degree swing between the low in the morning and the high in the afternoon. In an ideal world the thermometer would get...

Agree. If we compare low temps, it's not half bad here. It's been quite a while since they got into the 30s, but 40s and 50s is still decent. Not enough to get the house down to my preferred 55 degrees at night, but close.

Well, UPS and FedEx can. That's really about the only ones I want to be able to find me. Well, and EricG.

I call it a driveway since I drive on it...and nobody should be in my way when I do.

If you keep going past the house, mine is. Thankfully, very few ever try to get even halfway.

Fixed it for you. Besides, how would they go about getting insurance when they don't have a drivers license?

That's because with today's flimsy cars there's no trace of the vehicle or passengers when the alligators are done with them. It just becomes another unsolved missing persons case that goes unsolved.

Fixed it for you, Holy.

Yep, that's why I wrote "...which is partially already in effect" above. I think 7,500 miles per year is my limit, but not even the 3500 (it gets by far the most miles on it) reaches even half of that on average. Heck, the other day I noticed that I haven't put gas in the 1500 for over a year...

Sounds somewhat similar to what my situation in California was. And guess what...premiums were quite high. There are other things playing a big role in costs. If premiums were based on my driving I probably couldn't afford to insure more than one car, but what they don't know can't hurt them...

Nah. I don't feel like paying high insurance premiums just to subsidize those who live in flood areas, where there's lots of traffic, fire risk zones, high theft areas, where tornadoes are likely, or alligators can attack. Yes, every state is in America, but every state is different. And by...

In California that's not much different from an EV. Brownouts affects the EVs, not allowed to use water (which is also common) would be about the same thing.

I'm at $650, but with two more vehicles and otherwise similar policy. Except no riders or "extra acreage", which is something I've never heard of before. I guess that includes the guest house, garage, barn, hay barn, etc. The stuff occupying some extra acreage.

Yep, my 'Cat has gone from about $50 per month to over $80 in about two years. But the TRX seems to have stayed at $75. Odd.

Speaking of raining. This should be right up your alley, 1971. My favorite dealer has $16K off on a '24 1500 Laramie. Of course, MSRP is almost $70K, so it's still not cheap for a car...even if it has a little bed on the back.

Not the only way necessarily, but the Pilot Sport All Season 4 is one of the very few with any kind of actual all season performance in a 295/40R22. And even then, they're not the correct speed rating. But that doesn't bother me, just like it doesn't with the Challenger's tires. We just don't...

Yeah, this has been a tired year. New drive tires for the 3500, new Contis for the GT AWD, new tires for the horse trailer, new tires for the 35' gooseneck, new tires for the Durango, and much better tires for her 3500.. And it's not over yet. Her RSQ8 will get Michelins before the winter...

That's how I drive in the summer, too, not wanting to come to a complete stop unless I have to. Of course, it's mostly the 3500 that gets subjected to stoplights and stop signs, and its exhaust brake makes it easy to hardly having to use the brakes at all. Basically, if I have to use the...

Maybe I should point out that one reason I really liked that curve is that a failure would only result in dropping into a river maybe 20 feet below. To me that's a lot more appealing than either a 200+ foot plunge down a steep slope, or smacking into a rock wall on the high side, which is how...
