As the immigrant Nun said, when she saw her first HitcDog. “What part of the dog is this from”!

My former Mercedes E350 took a 2025 battery, but every car since takes a 2032. The only difference is the 2032 is slightly thicker than the 2025.

Building another near Ocala on I-75.

Because my cell provider is T-Mobil, I sign into T-Mobil Tuesdays. It directs me into Shell and I always get a minimum of 10 cents off and sometimes as much as 50 cents off per gallon. Use nothing but Shell Premium. Keeps injectors and fuel lines clean.

Is that car made in Germany by Opal?

Glad I live inland. There is a lot of “inland” in Florida.

Now I’m gettingg concerned. Now the projected center of track is shifting south. At the moment, it looks like landfall west of Ocala. If the projected track goes any further south. I’ll have ro break out the generator.

This storm came right through my area. Mt. Dora. Before storm hit, got my generator set up. Laid extensions to refrigerator, one window a/c and a fan to help when power went out. MIRACLE. Power did not go out. MIRACLE. Slight soffit damage. BTW. Mt. Dora, elevation 180 ft, is where people...

Convertibles are really a winter car in Florida.

No no no. Keep the convertible. Even if you get heavy rain, the next day and following days will be beautiful. Looking at the present track forecast, you will have nothing to worry about.

Nuch to early to worry. Have not yet published a projected track. Cat 1 is serious. If it hits you direct. If center misses you by 30 to 50 miles, not quite as bad. Twenty years ago, Hurricane caused a lot of damage in Orlando but no damage here in Mt. Dora, 25 miles away. As for surf, even a...

Old timers? I’m of an era when Lou Thesz was champ. Also Gorgeous George and my favorite; Bouncing Benito Gardini, “The Little Flower of Italy “.

I first thought you were talking about Darwin NT. Hot and wet in summer. Hot and dry in winter. Destroyed 50 years ago by a strong Typhoon.

Don’t know about today but as of just a few years ago; If you drive the car out of Florida, you pay the Florida 6 % sales tax. Anything over 6% goes to the County (or dealers pocket) Plus Paper Tag. Your home state will get the money from Florid (except when they can’t). If you load car onto...

Im 1. As per mpg, Imperial Gallon is one fifth LARGER than an American Gallon. Your mpg seems correct. 2. Per good shifting, best manual shifting I ever had were the Renault Laguna’s I had (a 1.8 and a 2.0) that shifted great. Like shifting through butter.

Ever wonder why the Kendal logo is a hand with two finger sticking out? Until the late 1940’s or early 1950’s, people changed oil every one thousand miles. Kendal’s new oil was advertised as the; TWO, TWO, TWO Thousand Mile Oil. I can still hear the ad today. (Yes, I’m old).

Not about GPS, but about companies keep track of your activities. Forty years ago, large company I worked at up North, had a toll free line (800 number) that was to be used for outgoing OFFICIAL calls. A friend in my cubicle had a habit of phoning his mother in Florida every day using that...
