Thoughts On A Cold Day

If not, I will be upgrading to heated seats or mats, whatever I can find that will just plug-in. We are at 10 below right now, and waiting around for motor to get up to temp is no fun.

I use a 100 Watt "My Heat" heater that cost me $20. I run the cord out my door and plug it in to the house. When I go out in the morning, I unplug it. By the time the interior cools down, the car has taken over heating.

ain't it the truth .... I well remember the days when a car reached 80,000 miles the motor was gone .... the body was usually still good but motor was used up .... now its hard to find a used car for sale with less than a 100,000 miles on it

My Grandfather had a 53 Chrysler New Yorker (Hemi) that he put 340 thousand on and never had the valve covers off. My Mother had a 56 Desoto Fire Flight (Hemi) that went 250k before Dad sold it, boy was she pissed. I had a 67 Chrysler New Yorker 413 (wedge) that I personally put over 300K and a 94 Dodge Van (318) that we sold 3 years ago, with 386 THOUSAND and it's still running. My 2000 Dodge Ram (5.9L) has 240ish and still runs like new.

Maybe, you guys should have bought a different brand!! .......Just saying!!

10:15am here, 16F right now (4F when I came into work at 4am). If I know my wife, the woodstove is roaring...she loves that thing. Myself...heading to Cabela's to pick out a new pellet gun for spring garden protection.

I never liked Dodge or Chrysler but the 37 years I was in business (Auto Upholstery) we worked on very few and the transmission shop next to me worked on very few compared to Chevy. and Ford. Yes I know there are more Chevy./Ford's on the road but the quality seemed better on Chrysler/Dodge even back then.
