A stop at the liquor store?

I figured that it would go without saying that I didn't include allocations for Chargers when reserving. If someone is desperate enough to want a taxi, I wouldn't want to stand in their way. Compassion, I think they call it.

Isn't that what they make Chargers for?

Guess I forgot to mention that in an effort to beat ChargerChallenger at his own game, I bought up all the allocations from that dealer for the next 14 months.

Jeez, Hellcatcfp, it's Texas. It's always hot. Except when in snows, every 150 years or so.

Jeez, Magnified, are you that rotund? Or is it only Challengers that one can go from the trunk to the cabin in? At least I think you can on Challengers. I prefer using one of the two elegant doors instead.

By that logic your taxi has five doors. You're not supposed to count the rear lid as a door. That's a modern thing, much like 4-door coupes.

Could you live with only having three doors, though?

Not really. You can live in your car, but not drive a house.

As long as the house has four doors, or more, you'll be okay. Magnified.

Yeah, there's a reason I mentioned that winches can be handy anyway. You could possibly order it with lower rated springs, or swap them out yourself. I'm about to put air springs on my little 18-footer. Better ride yet, and I could lower it for loading and unloading. I wish my 32-footer was...

Ah, sorry, that's what I meant by "side door". A large section, not just a regular door. And I lucked out when ordering the trailer four inches taller than stock (for better clearance in remote areas) as they lowered the fenders accordingly. No need to remove the fender even with the 'Cat.

Or, order the trailer with a side door and there's no need for a winch. Well, they can be handy anyway, but the side door makes it easy to get in and out of the car.

With that kind of a trailer you'll probably get at least 7,000-lb axles, which is fine, but you also get the suspension to go with it. If my 32-foot gooseneck had leaf spring suspension, I wouldn't want to transport only a 5K lb. car on it. With air suspension it rides nicely, no matter how...

Hah! And you're "admiring" the small section of it that's a patchwork of various sizes of gravel, added based on what I had on hand when expanding the size of it over time. Pavement? Meh, that's for city slickers.

Funny how that works. I'm hoping for colder overnight temps as it's been quite warm here lately, and not all that cold at night. Why, you ask? I need to retrieve the snow blower from the shed, and don't want to sink into the grass, leaving tracks with the tractor. Although, there is still about...

Yeah, that 18-footer wasn't bought with Challengers in mind, but at the time the alternative was a 30' gooseneck deckover with a fixed beaver tail. No way the 'Cat would make that breakover angle. I'm frequently one trailer behind compared to vehicles, it seems like. But at least I ordered the...

About the only "advantage" I can think of with a bumper pull is that it can be towed with vehicles that shouldn't be towing anything. Sorry, Gatzby, but been there, done that, which is why I feel that way.

That looks like the angles would be quite similar to my 32-foot gooseneck with a hydraulic 10-foot dove tail. I did the math at some point to see how tall and long the ramps would have to be, but don't remember what I arrived at.

I have become a firm believer in wheel nets. Now I have a set specifically for that tire size.
