Carolinas are nice! I’m not bragging either. The winters are great for a while and then comes February....Most have had enough by then. The lack of sunshine/light gets to you...

I’ve been in Texas at peek summer. I have never before experienced heat like that before and it can get “hot” here. I have a new respect for what heat really is.

The Carolinas are great! It was the first time I experienced seasons when I was stationed out there.

You must live in a taxable value state. Good thing is you can use that as a tax deduction. We do ours by weight costs $70 a year no matter how old the car gets.

If the tax is based on the value of your vehicle it is considered a property tax and is deductible on your federal income taxes if you are able to itemize.

I did my first engine oil/filters change today , since the 6yrs warranty expired.
It was a real pita because the "skilled technicians" had previously overtightened the sump plug bolt and rounded off the corners.
Not a big problem, i will just buy a new one for the next oil change in 5000kms.

Perfect excuse to spend a bit more and grab a Fumoto oil drain valve and make oil changes less or a pain in the future. Cheers.
