Gators like eating rubber??

Alright, but without a town to drive slowly in, and with no highway onramps, that basically leaves roads that are fun to drive fast on. No road course tracks around either as far as I know. It'd probably be smarter to go to Radford once a month or so and get the fast out of my system that way.

Hmm. Go to New York, watch sports, lay on a beach. Any of those makes driving off a cliff side seem appealing in comparison. At least then I'd get to kill myself (as opposed to in NY), or die by boredom (sports, beach). But you're kinda right. Today my girlfriend took her RSQ8 to town (some...

Correct, you don't. But if not driving fast I might as well drive something else.

Ironically, a couple of years ago I got my first speeding ticket in many years...in the slowest car I had. But I'm not as concerned about getting a ticket as I am driving off a 300' slope, or into a hillside. Now, with a 'Cat (and other fast cars I've had in the past 10 years or so) I simply...

Here it was the other way around. Our spring started mid November, and I could've driven whatever almost every day. No snow, no plow trucks, no salt. I'd gladly trade you. We need some rain bad now.

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.
