Thanks for all the kids words guys!

I do feel lucky to be able to call this work when I do it. As far as the weather comments….y’all have definitely been talking to @Jimmy N. way too much!

 

[EricG]

I started watching, saved it for later today so we both can watch. “Rona”, has never met you, so you lend credibility to my “Forum friends” Eric.

He is a walking auto wiki folks, I have been to auto shows with him.

Yeah I’m sorry I’ve never been able to drop by your place when I go back to Minnesota, those trips always seem to get scheduled full before we even leave! Next time - since we only go back in the summer I need to make it a time when you are racing up at BIR.

yeah the desert is pretty predictable but @Jimmy N. will tell you other wise

That's cuz Jimmy lives up at like 7500' where the air is thin

Although.....he does get at least a dusting of snow......

Thin air = better mileage and higher top speed. What's there not to like?

 

[1971demon]

Wow excellent work….too bad you can’t predict weather as good as your knowledge of Muscle cars🤪

Awww...CC...ease up on the poor guy....even you should know weather men....and lawyers...are the only professions that get paid to lie to ya...

Only the most important thing in life, slower 1/4 mile times

That doesn't really apply to me.

If I start a vehicle, it'll be driven at least 20 miles, or whatever it takes to get the oil warm. Although, with smaller and lesser vehicles I do indeed make a fair amount of 1/4 mile trips. Taking the trash out to the road, for example.

But then it's at 4-6 mph, and time isn't much of an issue.

Well now that the car is “fixed”, I am glad we waited. Now come up and drive it. It got my attention once this morning doing some experiments.

While all of us here would be thrilled to be ambushed by a Meteorologist, if I remember correctly, @Jimmy N. would also be thrilled to be ambushed by an Entomologist.

 

[EricG]

He probably should be ambushed be a psychiatrist!

His 4 door phobia needs to be addressed.

Speaking of, I'm thinking about selling my JD eGator.
Pros: It has no doors, is quiet, and great to shoot sod poodles from.
Cons: It's an EV.

Question is. Why did you get it in the first place?

It's still fun going fast, especially since the roads aren't overly straight, but you're right. Just sitting there at 120 (on the straighter sections) or so does get old at times.

But, I generally catch one or two per 50 miles, and then get to listen to the glorious exhaust as I floor it.

And now during tourist season the roads are jammed. It's not uncommon to have to wait for a vehicle to go by at the stop sign by the main road.
