What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Looks like the pic is taken in a parking spot? And if the vehicle had actually been driven, the wind would have removed a lot of the snow, no?

I smell set up staged propaganda photo.

Nevertheless, always remove the snow before driving.

 

I'm thinking its the start of the spring melt off?

 

I think TrinitySouth99 just got another blast of winter.

 

Yeah, that was probably what he was referring to.

I haven't had my caffeine yet.

 

Truck is forced into retirement due to spine cancer and now I drive a Kia

 

Yup. And at least don't use much gas doing so

 

Well, I think we might get some snow showers today. Probably not a lot. Three Canadian men championship curling games today. Curling all week to determine our representative in the Worlds. Newfoundland's champion won a close game last night. They were our Canadian Champions last year.

Going over to visit Mom and do a few things for her. I just hope the hill her house is on doesn't get snow today.
I think I am going to have to find a new weather sticker for my signature. It is right around freezing right now.

 

Well, we had a cold snap where it was too cold to snow....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, but no snow at least. Warmed up by comparison now, Calling for 1 40 degree day this week as of now and otherwise below freezing still.

 

I have to go pick up my new aquarium today wildwest , as well as clean out the garage so my bigass truck will fit in the garage. Good thing I procrastinated so long that it's 10° outside. I'm sure it's a little over freezing in the garage, but still.

Then to possibly meet a prospective buyer at the local PD for my Audi.

Of course I'm still packing the 9mm in my jacket. The police might take a few seconds to get out to the parking lot in case of shenanigans. I'll protect myself until then.

 

You can tell sometimes just by the direction of conversation if things will be sketchy. At that time, I will shut down the deal and say "thanks".

You're gonna miss that audi!

 

I thought that was why you posted that, then I second guessed myself. Lil baby gas sipping car is being protected by the big trucks.

It's all good, maybe one day we'll have a nice small efficient car to drive again. I miss the mpg that the Oldsmobile quad4 Calais got.

 

Just as I miss the mileage of the corolla. At least Woodwidow and campinspecter still have one!!!

 

Oh yeah, there's usually some good indicators.

That's why I bought the loaded f150.

My F150 has everything the Audi does, and more. except the air suspension and difficult to repair aspect.

It's got nav, Android auto, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, Bluetooth, the homelink, etc. It's got all led headlights, where the Audi had hid xenon's, and I added the led fog bulbs, the Audi had reverse sensors that didn't always work. I have remote start, back up cam, way more towing capability, more off road ability, it's got blind spot detection for the truck and the trailer, a way bigger Moonroof, and get this. It's actually quicker to 60 mph than the allroad. Now it won't do 149 mph like my Audi, and it surely won't handle as well as the Audi but it gets better mpg too. Yesterday on the freeway up to the dealer, 75 mph the Audi in 5th was doing 2800 rpm. The Ford did ~ 2000 rpm at the same speed in top gear.

I didn't want to have any regrets about anything the Audi had that my truck wouldn't have. The lack of a heated steering wheel would have been a huge point of contention in all of the other trucks I was looking at.

 

Thanks! I love buying myself toys for my birthday. A little early, but not by much.
24" x 24" x 24" 60 gallon rimless cube tank on a black stand.

Like this

This should help me think of Maui, Fiji, Puerto Rico etc in winter.

The tank and stand will actually go in the Audi today. The truck gets delivered on Monday evening. Wish I had the truck now as I have to make sure they will fit in the Audi.

I've hauled bigger stuff in the Audi before though.

That was a large electrical panel for my old work. I had to take it to the subcontractor to get wired up. That one I had to measure 3 times to ensure that it would actually fit. In a pickup, no sweat. This tank and stand should fit no problem. I'll measure what can fit again though otherwise I'll have to take the 4runner or the trailer.

 

What? Are you going to ventilate him if he doesn't buy it?.......................................

 

Nice Truck Horkn!

 

Tons of sun here, yesterday too. There was a backlog at the dealership due to the financing Dept. No biggie, they had popcorn and cookies. The 30° and sun got people out it the dealerships. They said it's been quiet. Because of the weather. Then bam!!!
