There, I fixed it for you.

Without reading the sidewall, there really wasn't a visual difference. I don't remember how much the revs per mile were off, but it was probably in the 1-2% range. Handling improved, not just because of the slightly narrower tire, but from losing a lot of unsprung weight. I can go check which...

Two white taxis?!?

Magnified, it's 26 inches or so to the door sill. TRX territory is no country for old men. Although, my girlfriend (at 5'4") has no problems getting in and out of hers.

Alright, I'll do my best to remember measuring tomorrow, old man. By the way, did I ever tell you about the mobility scooter I have left over? It came from England, but don't worry, the steering is in the center so you could easily learn to drive it.

Magnified, would you still like to know what the step-in height is? Anyway, my girlfriend has "stepping blocks" to get up on her high horses. Should I send you one?

Funny. I'd much rather drive the Challenger. Wouldn't trade it for three TRXs.

Congratulations, Lize. I think you'll like it. Especially once it's no longer black.

That would require both paying attention and thinking. These days we're not supposed to be forced to do either when driving. Hence, automated wipers, lights, etc. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a light on the dash yet to indicate that the wipers are on. Yes, we already have them...

Funny. Just before I read your post I remembered that I have one car with the lever on the vacuum wiper motor, and an external link that runs the passenger side off of it. Those can also be operated manually. And I have one with only one wiper, that is completely manual. No wonder I don't find...

Why do you think Lize wants black now? Taxis are black over there. And the bar is obviously for the signage. Besides, many women have a lot of luggage these days (not implying that Lize does), so a cute little lorry like the TRX could be the perfect taxi.

Lize, you can also try AutoTrader. Almost all dealers seem to list their vehicles on that site. Another possibility is the Ram-TRX forum. Looks like quite a few have bailed on orders, or ordered two hoping for one to arrive before the other. You may be able to take over an order at or below MSRP.

Kenworth, huh? Well, sometimes you do have to settle for second best. Kinda like a taxi instead of a Challenger. Want proof that Kenworths suck? You say that they have vacuum powered wipers. On Peterbilts they run on positive air pressure. Oh well, at least even KWs are 2-doors so they can't be...

Close. But the real reason is the tall sidewalls on the 11R24.5s. The handling just isn't as crisp.

Highly unlikely, Geerhed. There are very few places around here where the roads are straight enough to keep the steering wheel in one position even for a few seconds. Also, can't really do hand over hand steering very well in the sharp curves with an elbow hanging out the window. And I try to...

I'm trying to picture how drunk I'd have to be to not notice that it's raining. And while I've never been to a gym in my life, I'm still capable of turning the wipers on manually, as needed. Also, I can somehow sense when it's time to turn the lights on and off, and when to dim them. And just...

As you know, I'm not interested in being handed any slips. So since the cop cars (and everybody else) are down on power, too, I don't care one bit.

Hmm. Living the low life or sacrificing some performance? I know which one I prefer.

It's not just cars. I searched for a Can-Am UTV nationwide for days. "Pre-order now" it said on just about every dealer's site. Non-refundable $1,500 deposit. Delivery date? Maybe April or June. Maybe. John Deere was even worse. Found a Can-Am about to arrive at a dealer in Corpus Christi, TX...

You may be onto something there, 'trooper. Those roof signs must be installed somewhere along the process.
