That number rings a bell. I've also seen 49.1 hp on an MSO. Don't remember which vehicle...but it sure wasn't a D170.

Would've never thought of it if the little garage in the guesthouse hadn't had floor heat. It's absolutely great to pick up a tool off the floor and it's warmer than it was in the toolbox. Another big plus is that it's quiet. We had forced air in the house in CA, woke me up every time it came...

Don't forget to leave "open spots" for the lift when routing the tubing for the floor heat. I had 2x2x2 foot "blocks" poured in the floor where the lift would go. Unfortunately the contractor's drawing was off by a foot, so sure enough, I drilled into the Pex on the third hole.

If I didn't know better I'd say that you're pretty anal. Oh wait, I do know better.

Yeah, I prefer about 55 degrees, but the sun generally warms the house up to 60 something during the day. And laying on the floor in the garage is quite pleasurable, even at 50 degrees, thanks to the floor heat. Either way, I prefer working outside. No, we haven't had any winter yet. A couple...

I only have a 500 gallon tank for the garage so I keep it at 50 or so, which is nicer for working anyway. But it still needs to be filled more often than the 1,000 gallon tank for the house and guesthouse that are kept at about 62.

Short wheelbase vehicles with lots of power can be quite fun...and also lethal.

That reminded me of lowering, sectioning, and chopping a Postal Jeep. It came out decent enough that I decided to yank the Chevy 4-banger and put a V8 in it. Little did I know that the donor car's engine wasn't a 350, but a built 400. No wonder it tried to kill me every time I drove that thing.

If I ever end up in prison, solitary confinement would be the ONLY option for me. I might have to do something extra bad to achieve that status, but it would be so preferable compared to being with the general inmate population.

I can easily go for a week or three without leaving. There's more than enough to do here, most of which will never get done in my lifetime...even if I would stop coming up with new projects and buying more vehicles. She, on the other hand, is a complete social butterfly and goes somewhere...

Paddle tires. About the only kind that works in swamps.

That is real life, my dear Mr. '71. Unlike "life" in a lake effect area in a state that's a stain on the nation and driving around in 1/2-tons while munching on doughnuts. So there.

I had ours checked by him, and was surprised to find out that both are one of one. No that I think makes a bit of difference in real life, but still.

Yesterday I was wondering if it would beat the weather to your place. Guess it did, if only barely.

What does the normal condensation in the exhaust system have to do with what's in the tank?

It has more of them on there now. How much is it worth to you for me not to post a current photo? And I could always repost the one with the bird in the grille.

I don't worry about sandbags or winter tires. I let the 'Cat spend the winter in the garage (undisturbed) and when I feel like driving a Challenger in less than nice weather I take the GT AWD. That's what I bought it for, allowing me to enjoy driving a Challenger without sacrificing the 'Cat.

I just have our basic 91 octane, complete with ethanol, in the tank and add some Star Tron for storage. No issues so far.

I'm apparently missing out on all the fun related to long term storage. Have never over inflated the tires or used any accoutrements to prevent flat spotting, yet my tires are perfectly fine again within a mile or so of driving. And that's generally in somewhat cold weather.

I have yet to find any condensation in any tanks here, including metal storage tanks that are exposed to the sun. Going on three years with gas for the vehicles that get fueled up at home. Yeah, that would be logical, but...we often have 50 degree differences between the low and high temp in a...
