Happy New Year, folks.

Happy New Year! Alaska is already starting out with a high wind deep freeze. I hope the weather behaves where you are.

Happy new year everyone!

I just realized how long it’s been since I checked here. Mine is still down. Hoping to fix the trans this spring or so and get it back on the road.

My Jetta has been getting some upgrades and maintenance finally though. New injectors, head studs, turbo, intercooler, built ic pipes for it.

My ‘92 gets driven once a week (company vehicle rest of the time), and any time I load bikes up for an adventure. Driving the company truck constantly I’m not running much WMO. I’m trying to participate in as many hare scrambles as possible, going on my first one this year Sunday.
Like everything else, a half clapped out 15 year old motocross bike brings $2500 and up. 2 years ago $800 was a thing.
Oh and all these new vehicles are really fast…….I got waxed by a new minivan the other day
On the other side, I’m seeing widespread seemingly random electrical gremlins with a lot of the newer rides. Our company 2021 3500 Cummins has had 2 separate CEL’s, a dash/ gauge wiggout session, 4wd inoperable (electrical side), and exhaust brake randomly not working. Truck has 4K miles on it…….
My 12v is going nowhere.

Oh yeah, the new stuff really makes respectable power.

My truck is spending this phase of its life making endless runs to Home Depot. It's sorta like The Giving Tree. Maybe 20 years from now will be its 12-second hot rod phase.

My old 93 will make a 12 sec pass and still do chores...……………………..


oh ...you were talking about 1/4 mile not 1/8th...

The red 92 has been hard at work hauling the excavator all over town doing town projects. The new Public Facilities Director for the town took pictures of the rig and sent it to his son who does construction. They are in love. For a rusted worn out pile it sure gets plenty of attention and thumbs up.
