Yep, very close to the border. But I think it's the altitude here, more so than the parallel, that dictates the weather. So it can get a bit "nippy", as Jen found out.

Not quite, OBC, not quite. No, that contraption started life as an innocent Unimog SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator). Converted the loader to a Quick-Tach setup so that it'll accept Bobcat style attachments, then ran "extension hoses" from the PTO driven backhoe out to the loader...and plugged...

It can. But let's hope not.

It has had its 10 oil changes, right?

Guess we've been lucky with Porsche then. For example, ordered one, which was one of the dealer's three allotted ones (and it's a large dealership), and still got it for below MSRP. Ironically, that car arrived quicker than the Redeye which was ordered maybe three weeks earlier.

It's over at "the old place", and the thread was called "Redeye Owners..." something. I can find out if you can't find it. I probably started piping up about a year ago on that one, using the same Jimmy N. as here. It's a lot of reading, but mixed in with peoples horror stories is also a great...

It's so nice to live in a Tesla-free zone.

Well, I have become very good friends with that car, against all odds. Also, that little episode was nothing compared to the ordered '19, the one that went missing for over four months after if was built. And was damaged when it eventually resurfaced.

Because I'd driven 450 miles to drop off my trade-in at the selling dealer, then hauled the dealer trade vehicle to the dealer with the Challenger, another 300 miles away. After I got the keys and found the car, very dirty, in the far back and started it, I noticed the mileage. Looked it over...

It had 16 on it when I bought it, but 50 when I got there to pick it up. And the rear tires showed that they were not easy, break-in friendly miles. As did the mpg average.

Oh, I like that!

I actually did. The only reason the snow blower was used that day was to pull out the little tractor...used because there really wasn't enough snow. With R4 tires, that tractor has less traction than the Challenger on its UHP summer tires. But in a way, making that snow blower setup has worked...

That's a good point, Jungle Cat. Since I'm more interested in handling than pure acceleration, getting better weight distribution is a good thing. But even though it's in the correct place, it still bugs me that I'm hauling useless weight around.

That's easy. You just need a more fun snow blower.

What brand do you prefer for night driving then?

Just cleaning off the tire machine afterwards is no fun, but to then also have to get the goop out of the tire to be able to repair it is a bit of a chore. I wouldn't be surprised if tire stores charge extra for doing it. By the way, mine came with the (to me) useless HK system, too, and it's...
