Winter storage

 The time is here for us in the snow belt, when we have to put our fun cars away for the winter.
Driving a supercharged 600+ horsepower Mustang that's equipped with drag-radial tires is fun on dry roads, but when the white stuff starts flying, that's the last kind of car you want to be piloting.


 So in storage it goes. We put them away, hug them one last time and wave bye-bye to them until the spring thaw

  At least that's what WE did before buying the current house, which has a perfect storage feature, a garage. A major feature it had to have when we were looking, a 2-Mustang garage.
  Batteries get hooked up to battery tenders, gas tanks get filled up, gas gets treated with some stabilizer so it doesn't go bad over the winter, and they sit.
  Winter time, as it turns out, is a great time to perform maintenance, modifications, repairs, or whatever else might need to be done.
  Do you have a car you store?

Luxury pick-up trucks?

Mercedes recently announced that they'll be building a pick-up truck soon.
Does the world really need a $100,000 pick-up truck?
Who's gonna buy it? Rich folks that want to look even fancier on the way to Home Depot to pick up a can of paint that they could use a small car for?
Pick-up trucks are already $70,000-80,000 when loaded out with all the options currently being offered.
And those numbers are already insane when you consider that it's a pick-em-up truck, for Pete's sake ... it's meant to carry dirty stuff in the bed, and maybe handle some rough terrain.
But trucks these days have heated steering wheels, cameras all over to help the driver see outside their huge truck, navigation systems, entertainment systems that sound better than some home units, air-conditioned seats, and a whole bunch of other doo-dads to make the rich part with their cash.
