Yes, pictures are needed. I'm not here to criticize your work, either. I personally think it's bloody brilliant that you successfully built your own stump grinder!

When towing, power is convenience. I used to scale about 40k in an 8500 GMC equipped with a 250hp C7 Scatterpillar. Far more important than power is how the trucks steers and stops with a load behind it. Convenience of power is nice, but you pay for it. To some, it's worth every penny, others...

Glad to hear your (short) thoughts on the new ES. This is a car that I've been watching closely, even though it is outside of my norm, and my budget. Enjoy the car, and please don't hesitate to share more details and experiences with it.

Meanwhile, I'm in the process of purging my last .40 and moving over to 9mm.

When my Grandmother passed, my brother and I each received a handmade crochet blanket from her. We also received a monetary gift, the amount of which I can't even remember. The gift of the blanket has always had so much more of an impact. I hate seeing family quarrels and angst created by...

It's somewhat common for turbocharged (and some NA) vehicles to show heat management issues when driven beyond their intended duty cycle. I don't think autocross and Deals Gap runs are what Ford had in mind when they built the Fusion. Do you know what your oil temps were? This isn't to...

Out of curiosity, what oil do you run in your yacht *ahem* I mean NC? Kidding, though. That sounds like a sweet ride.

Same here. Completely uneducated on the subject, yet hanging on to every word.

I've snow skied my whole life, despite living outside STL. It truly is a fantastic sport. I would recommend making the trek out to the Rockies, because skiing in the Midwest truly does not come close. Just like rollerblading, skiing is all about weight distribution between your feet. I suspect...

Pretty sure Clinebarger is a 7. Me? I'm a solid 3, maybe a 4, and a 0.5 after too many shop sodas.

While I have no doubt that Redline 5w50 is good oil, I still would not use it unless it has A40 approval. Beautiful car, btw. I just attended a SCCA PDE, lots of Caymens there of all generation, I am really impressed with how well they hold up on track.

We affectionately call them "Whiteys" here, and yes, they do have a certain revenge that comes with them. Doesn't always stop me, though. For anyone who enjoys them, I encourage you to try the breakfast options as well!

My feelings exactly, except put into words much better than I could ever hope to do. I am genuinely curious how a Swedish led Saab would tackle present and future global emissions and consumption requirements. They were at the forefront of technology back then, I suspect it would be no...

I want the pre-GM Saab back. Engineering inspired by aviation, clean design, function over form. Unique, but with purpose. (Not unique for the sake of being unique). I would be curious to see how Saab would handle the transition to EV and hybridization.

Agreed, on all points.

I've said this on every other loss of pet thread. I'll say it again, because I'm a broken record. A loss of a pet is a loss of family. Nothing that I say will make it sting less, just know that we're all here with you, regardless.

I do the same thing. Dams really are feats of engineering. Come to think of it, I have similar feelings towards the chaos happening inside of an internal combustion engine.

We're all so grateful that you would bring such valuable insight to this thread.

Just wait until he hears about the oil temps that I regularly see on track. It's spicy!

There is more to consider with this statement. Americans rely on automobile transportation heavily, and in comparison, have to cover a longer distances than those that contribute to large portions of the world's population. Perhaps other transportation options for Americans would be beneficial...
