As an avid snowmoobiler/amateur ice fisherman this winter sucks. I have not put 1 mile on my sled. It has been nice keeping the truck clean all winter but dang I am bored. Anybody else bothered by the lack of winter, or am I the only one?

 

 

As an avid boater here in North Alabama ...... I am ready for a early spring sorry you guys haven't gottenama much good sled weather up north this winter. As to your question am I bothered by the lack of winter? No ....Makes my powerbill lower, mild temp means very little use for my home HVAC unit. However it has been a very weird winter here as a matter of fact tornadoes have played havoc on N Alabama the last two years and expecting bad weather tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully you will get some snow before spring! If not look me up will be glad to take you out and show yu the lake !

Good dumping happening right now but it's all of 100 miles south of where I really need it. Oh well, getting to the cabin to ride tomorrow should be fun tonight with all this snow that's falling between here and there.

 

sw6416 - Sorry dude, I can't live without winter. Without winter I become a very ornery and grumpy person, just ask my GF. LOL. I do like to boat and jet ski in the summer and if everything works out the right way this spring, I'll officially be a first time boat owner. I do thank you for the invite though and although my GF would LOVE the heat down there, I'd be one miserable person unless I was living on the lake all summer. :cheers:

Almost dropped $5000 on a new Western plow. I'm sure glad I didn't. Maybe there will be a few deals on slighty used plows in a few weeks!

LOL i actually bought a plow truck in september, after last years storm in Chicago I was ready, the darn thing has been used 3 times. Yesterday being the 3rd, luckily I only paid $1900 for the truck with the Western plow on it! You would figure, it's Chicago, it snows like crazy, well not this year.....

Crap. We are actually gonna have a winter up here after all. We just got about 4-5" today and blizzard watch out for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ended up with not only 12" fresh at my cabin up north but some of, if not the best, riding conditions all year up there. Had a Cat (no big surprise there lol) break down on us and cut the riding short by about an hour late Saturday afternoon and no riding yesterday but otherwise a great day of riding for once and all within 100 mile of home instead of 300.

There's no snow or rain here in Northstate because I bought a vehicle to handle it. Last year we had 140% of normal nearby, but we couldn't avail ourselves of it because I was driving the 'Vette then. Figures......

 

The first year I owned an AWD vehicle we hardly got any snow at all that year! Made up for it the next year though. :thumbs:

    • I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool. 
    • Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.
    • Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:    
    • The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
