We have coyotes, us, and ticks. Ticks are the worst. Hate seeing deer covered with them. I'd buy them flea and tick collars if I could just figure out how to get 'em to stand still long enough to put 'em on ;)

Man...that truly sucks. I worry about this every day. Had one leap in front of me, maybe 30yrds?...and it was a beautiful doe, my brain turned on yelling ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE and I slammed the pedal just as the second one hopped out of the brush right in front of me. With fewer and fewer...

Towing 4 down is a dream, for many reasons listed above. Plus, I can drop my toad in just about 1 minute flat. I start the toad, take tension off the tow bar, disconnect from the toad, unhook the safety chains, disconnect the light harness, and I'm done. We've done it sometimes at gas...

Was there a deposit? Did you have a contract? Or was it a gentleman's agreement?...cuz those aren't worth much.

I truly couldn't care less how often or why someone else changes oil. I couldn't care less about most of what someone else does. It's when people start telling me I'm wrong for doing something the way I do it, that has no bearing on them, that I draw the line :)

I used to spend some time online with some diesel pusher motorhome guys. The one's that were not weekend warriors, but that put a lot of miles on their rigs all used Blackstone to figure out when to change oil. At 40-45qts of oil per change, it made perfect sense. They changed filters...

I'd be curious what mechanism enables them to do that...

Not sure if this is paywalled...but. NYT just did a write up on Arity. It's a company that specializes in "driving data", and helps to assign a Driver Score to you that insurance companies then use to adjust your rates. Arity & Driver Score

They said they don't SHARE it, period.

This didn't happen with my Ford, it happened with my Volvo, and I was shown, in writing, that Volvo doesn't sell the data. I believe the state sold my data.

I didn't realize that HUD was an option on these...

As pertains to "data"... My other car is a Volvo. When we purchased it and contacted insurance, they wanted to know how many miles per year we were going to drive with the car. I told them less than 10,000, which was true. 2yrs went by and grandbabies appeared 300mi away :) Very joyous event...

Thank you for posting this. It's a relatively small thing, but I ask myself that question everytime I get in the truck. Why don't they leave it where I last set it??? Will check out the links above. Lob

I used Dynamat on a 69 Camaro I restored some years back. Worked really well, and easy to apply if you've got the time. One of the places a lot of guys missed was the interior sides of the doors. Once it's done it just makes for such a solid feeling/sounding vehicle. May be in my future...

I did my second fillup yesterday, so first run on a full tank. This tank had no highway miles, and a fair amount of A/C usage. I was curious about how accurate the "Miles to E" estimate was. I pumped 13.2gal, specs say it's a 13.8gal tank, so just about 1/2 gal in the tank when I filled up...

Are you sure you don't need 4? I think in Maine it's illegal to just run 2 studded tires. *******EDIT************* My bad. Diff for FWD than 4WD: " Yes, Maine law allows front-wheel-drive vehicles to have studded tires on only the front wheels. However, some say that installing snow tires...

Sure...with a $5k uplift, of course!...that's an additional "delivery fee" :)

Maybe a dealer money maker, but not the dealer I bought the truck from. He said I can have it done at any Ford dealership. Also, a friend who's been in the used truck business, albeit almost entirely Chevrolet, said that he was very impressed with their frame protection. He does Thin Film, and...

I say MSRP, and it's a Hybrid, but I paid the doc fee, and I bought the frame protection package as well, since one of the things keeping my Silverado from getting a Maine Insp Sticker is frame rot. Maine salt is NOT kind to vehicles.

Yes, I paid MSRP. It was the only one in my state, possible the only one in New England, so there wasn't a whole lot of leverage on my side ;)
