I've done it both ways Nick, I still prefer having 4wd for the snow.

Don't get foxes, usually lots of squirrels, the occasional bunny rabbits, skunks, and oppossums yes, but no Foxes. Have seen a few coyotes running around town of late though.

Hopefully they'll get jobs here in the States or in Europe.

Sounds like my Jeep Tom, only times my 200 has seen much salt was Monday while my XJ was getting fixed. Just took that out to get the salt washed off of it. Now I just need to get the Jeep over to a place to get it washed too, one of the places I get E85 for the 200 has a machine that literally beats the dirt off the vehicle...........Don't want to hurt the 200's paint, but it's about the only thing that will clean the Jeep.

It's not like we got much snow Harry, it was barely enough to bother leaving the Jeep in 4wd.

That's why I kept mine when I bought the 200 Charlie. Yes the mileage kinds sucks, but sitting well over a foot from the pavement when the flakes start to fly is worth the extra insurance and few thousand miles a year or crappy mileage.

The HobhyTown I work for ran into that issue when we've tried to carry Legos, the Toy's "R" Us I worked.at prior as well as Walmart and Target all sold them for less than our cost and we were all within a quarter mile of each other. We literally couldn't compete, same happened with Dremel stuff, the one of the big hardware retailers were selling them for around what we paid to bring them into the store.

I think it can be a of any of those as a stand alone, or even in multiples combination.

I'm digging that '40!

Friday the 13th is still at it on the 15th....... Earlier this week my Jeep would break the back tires loose without hesitation on the salt coated roads, but on friday is started to act like it was slipping on the way home from time to time. That continued on Saturday from the time I left the house to the time I got home. Dad goes to borrow it this morning and it does it for him too. I looked out and saw a puddle of something under the right side and radiator this morning. So we go and check it and find the trans so low that it doesn't register. We fill it up then turn it off and look back a few minutes later, and that ATF is dripping right back out..........guess I'll have to expose the 200 to some salt until we can get it fixed.

You can have the nasty ATF leak my Jeep just developed over the last couple days!

I don't have to go in until 1pm.

We've got more since that post, thecars must have a couple inches on them

Last I checked, there was a skim coat on the non-vertical surfaces of our cars........hopefully, that's the worst of it.

For some reason, I always liked the old AMT/ERTL primer grey plastic from the 90's. For some reason all the white plastics just seem "cheap" from me.

That's why I try o go back to Mopar for Jeep parts any more, if they've lasted me this long............

Looks about normal for Lambo's qnd their owners.............I just can't bring myself to calling a lot of supercar owners drivers, they seem like they would have a hard time controlling anything faster than a golf cart!

Not sure Charlie, almost looks like a 1:1 version of the Extra aerobatic R/C plane.

I think that there are now black boxes going into cars, but Bill is right, the airbag systems and maybe the OBD2 systems did act as a rudimentry black box. If I'm right on that, my 16 year old Jeep should have that ability too so long as the broken clock spring, which has disabled the bags, and much more annoyingly, the horn and cruise control, didn't disable that too.

I was wondering about the Vasquez I took my Jeep to.

I know somebody who.did a title loan on his minivan after one of his employers decided not tonpay anybody for their work and they rates on that were nearly as bad, made the 23% on credit cards if you missed a payment look cheap!

He and another friend of ours are in for some work, who ever had it before did some.......interesting........work on it. There's a whole lot of wiring work needed from bumper to bumper, speedo doesn't work, exhaust is screwed up (actually melted the bumper cover!), ect.

I'm still curious if there was some sort of black box on the car.

A friend if mine is tearing into a '91 5.0 GT project car in his garage and even with plastic blocking the doors and at least one torpedo heater cranked, his garage is coooold.
