You really should be able to beat the predicted travel time by far more than four minutes. Unless, of course, you're in an EV.

For those of us who have never visited one, do you like the experience?

Most people, friends and otherwise, say "not old enough".

No, not a requirement. We had lived here for over 10 years before attending. And both of us may go there again at some point...while they still have Challengers to drive.

It was a little earlier in '21 that I became aware of the issue. Didn't keep me from seating all the fuses on my '19 after buying it about a year ago. I sure hope you didn't expect a dealer to check that they are seated - unless you brought the car in for that specific purpose. If so, maybe.

Seating the fuses has become standard procedure for me, and it's not only a Durango thing. Guessing that the Stallantis supplier has a halfway lame robot putting the fuse boxes together.

My '19 Durango had that stop/start crap. Pulled one fuse (no, I don't remember which one) and disconnected the negative leads on the tiny battery. Done. And for free.

Not to worry, that's mostly alligator induced damage. You should be fine.

Thanks for that info. I need new tires and have been running the inexpensive Firestone Indy 500s, which I thought was pushing it, but at least those are made by Bridgestone. If I drove more daily-like I can see using something potentially questionable, but when mine's out it gets pushed to...

So far the Durangos have been okay, but we've learned to keep a close eye on the voltage in the '21 TRXs. No idea what caused it, one day the voltage on mine started out low, maybe 12.8 or so after starting it, then just kept dropping. Was down to 12.2 at one point and that was after noticing...

Never. We really don't have any public streets around here, just great curvy roads with minimal, if any, traffic. And I couldn't break the 200 mph barrier. Partially because my car supposedly tops out at 199, but mainly because there are no straight sections of road long enough to try. Either...

How do they compare to tires I've heard of when coming into a curve a bit too hot? And are their speed ratings acceptable for a 200 mph car?

Why? Because the wheels don't go bad. Give the tires to someone who doesn't know about date codes.

If I could fit a wheel that large on the lathe it would be easy to accomplish.

That looks really nice, 2nd. I should probably paint my black ones gray, then sand off the paint from the spokes.

Oh, there are certainly name brand tires that are anything but round or consistent. Especially so in OE applications. On the other hand, needing trailer tires a while back I swallowed hard and bought eight Venom tires, two different sizes. Cheap imports, how good could they possibly be? Well, I...

To me, having spare wheels is like having insurance. By having them I probably won't need them. It would suck to try finding one in a hurry if one got damaged. Then again, in my case I'd be more likely to need a spare car, maybe a spare me.

Slip the guy a 20, or whatever it takes, to turn the Smart Weight off.

Very true, but... If the rim isn't perfect, which is rarely the case with late model OE wheels, the Hunter balancer usually allows counteracting the respective wheel and tire and discrepancies and produce a setup that runs great. It's when the wheel is perfect and the tire isn't that I run...

Don't ask, don't tell.
