Almost certainly - I think of the Rondo as the Kia equivalent of a Mazda5. They were reasonably popular here.

Unfortunately, a vehicle parked in long grass usually rusts quickly here.

Here's a jury-rigged but effective downspout extension - not pretty, but it would get the water away from the garage foundation.

Agreed, that looks like a very good deal, even with the $ exchange rate, by our standards. That looks like well over C$500K here.

Helping my friend with the wiring on his tent trailer. We got everything working, but I was curious as to what this little module is. It's in line with the feed to the trailer's positive battery terminal. It says 30 A on it. I suspected it was a diode to only allow current flow in one...

The disparity between Dodge and Chrysler is interesting.

Apollo 15 - summer of 1971 - While on the lunar surface, Astronaut Dave Scott dropped a hammer and a feather. They fell at the same rate, and hit the surface at the same time. It's probably out there on YouTube.

Next time you should go around the mulberry bush. 😉

Check out "Flying Fortress" by Edward Jablonski - it's full of incredible stories of the B-17s ability to return home with incredible battle damage, matched only by the valour of its crewmen. It's an older book, perhaps from the 1960s, so most of the stories were told to the author firsthand...

Excellent! I saw Fifi at the Museum of Flight near Seattle in '95.
