Do like I did when I bought my first Nissan Z that had t-tops. I bought it in the middle of the winter. I'd drive around with the tops off,wearing a heavy coat,and the heater on full blast!

^^^^^^It's got a great thermostatically controlled heater as well as three different levels to the heated seats.
I probably will do that the next dry day. Darn rain for the next several days!!!!

Sharp eye!
Yes, they're OE Ram; always liked the steelies, and with guys out there so ready to drop serious coin on big aftermarket wheels/tires, you can find them trying to unload these for cheap. Given that you're not opposed to the look, the quality and strength offered is a great deal.
Indeed a 4x4. Happened to pop up at auction just as we were seeking a truck for the farm -- I think that 8" channel trailer weighed as much as the GMC!

I don't have too many pictures of my good ol' car as I am not using it too much lately.
It's a 98 Ford Escort RS made in Argentina, but the South-American RS isn't even a real RS, to be honest. My guess is Ford was phasing-out the 'real' RS2000 in Europe and they had a few spoilers and skirts left, so they dumped here in South America, thus this RS version was born. It has the same Zetec 1.8 16V engine of the other 98 Escort and everything else.
I took this pic a few months ago before a wash:
And during:
I don't sell this car basically because I like this car and there's the fact it worth more if I dismantle it and sell the parts on eBay than if I try to sell it as is, and even so the best thing I can buy with the money is a 98 Fiat Uno with a 1.0 engine and nothing more, so I leave it here as it is extremely reliable, fast, fuel-efficient and quite comfortable, and when it needs some service, I do it myself.
The only time I needed a flatbed to send it to the mechanic, I did it in style
It was because of a radiator hole and was 100+ F outside.

Yeah. Ive seen evidence of them spraying liquid deicer down around here, not sure of its chemical makeup, and I think the WaDOT salts the pass.

Some pics of my Ram, if they work.
I'm going to be putting some good tires on it this summer and a cap and stainless steel step bars.

Yes! I got it for christmas.

Its a P46FLC. "F" for "Flood", but its an 8* spot. Its perfect for rural back roads. The one you usually see on these is the P46SLC which has the lenses in front of the LEDs to focus them. Its a 2* spot and is brighter.
This is as bright as I need. Any brighter and I would get too much glare from road signs.
