And a diesel, a lot easier yet.

That doesn't surprise me, but out here the gas stations can be farther apart than your states back there in the east are wide. Also, it's nice not to have to pull into the few there are any more often than necessary when pulling up to 38-foot trailers. Plus, being more able to pick where I get...

It's so easy a caveman could do it. But maybe not a New Yooker.

I suppose in theory the 3500 could get 15 mpg, if driving slowly and not towing anything. But since its sole purpose in life is to tow, a minimum of about 8,000 and up to 25,000 lbs., it generally gets between 5 and 10 mpg. Sometimes into the 11s. So not quite 1,500 miles - which would be...

I would gladly pay whatever it takes to be able to go wherever I want/need to go without being "tied to an umbilical cord". There's a reason I added a 46-gallon auxiliary tank to the factory 74 gallon capacity my Ram 3500 has. There just aren't all that many gas stations in some areas around...

I'm glad that you're an American, and a Republican. As Meatloaf said, two out of three ain't bad.

Not sure I want to know, but what's with your current infatuation with bots all about?

Yep. Tucked away vs. come take me. Or at least hit me while driving by. I'd be sleeping in mine (and well armed) if I had to park in a place like that.

I thought you knew how to drive in snow and didn't need to whip around with chains.

It's easier said than done to buy new tires these days. Ordered a set earlier this year, and when they arrived two of them had date codes from early '23. Tire Rack claims that "new" tires are still perfectly fine to sell for up to four years. Meanwhile their parent company (Discount Tire) won't...

I'm a figment of your vivid imagination, so why BOT HER?

It was so friggin' nice to drive it. I may take another drive or three if the weather holds. The bummer is that I'll have to drive very sedately because of the ancient tires.

I took a quick drive today to blow the cobwebs off and get the oil warmed up before the hibernation. To accomplish that I did two things. First was to make a cover for the oil cooler so I didn't have to drive up the road to 10,000 feet (hear that, 2nd?) like I usually do to get it warm. Then...

What if he's capable of taking photos but unable/unwilling to post them? Yes, there are people like that. Well, one anyway.

A car is considered "new" until it's titled.

It's called Florida.

Agree, but our roads won't support that, even without traffic.

I dunno. 130 miles in 1.5 hours isn't too shabby of an average mph, is it?

Yikes! I can often get an extra 100 miles out of 1.5 hours of driving.

Currently I'd have more use for a Challenger than my Unimog dozer/trencher. Very low miles, good tires, etc. No reason to register it, just put a SMV triangle on the back. It doesn't really need to be insured either, since with the dozer blade up front, ahead of 16,000 lbs., it would take quite...
