      @Mazda616 When I bought my new snowblower, I pushed the Mustang further back into the garage for more convenient snowblower storage. I haven't started it since about the middle of December, so a similar time frame. We've had an unusual CO winter where the snow has stuck around longer than normal. Usually, I try and get it out on the roads at least monthly to keep it circulating, but I may not get the opportunity this month.

      Looks nice, bright, and red out there in the sunlight!

      If this was a manual, I would be bidding. I'm still tempted even with the terrible 3-speed auto.....but it's in California, I'm in Michigan. Can't justify it, regarless of the (little) cost.

      The dude that owns it is in my classic GM FWD group on Facebook. It’s a great car. Very well cared for.

      @Highlander said in Touched up Jolene’s cleanliness in advance of a couple cruise-ins on Saturday.:

      looks like a .22 LR.

      Sure looks like it, and it's statistically reasonable too -- if you find a random cartridge in the US, it's probably .22LR. There are of course other .22 rimfires for niche purposes, but this is the one with literally billions used annually (at least before the ammo price and availability crash of the last couple of years) and is small enough to escape easily.

      Jolene is all clean and somewhat repaired (and I didn’t know she was broken).

      Just made this trip trouble free for the 5th time this summer: 3cccc1e7-b7bb-4716-b20e-c7c25b7d5ae0-image.png

      Guess I just don't worry about it, so long as you take care of your vehicle, an old/high mileage one is no more trouble prone than a new one.

      @Mazda616 I guess my point is that America is nothing but interstate, so would the lowlier ones have just been miserable in general? What market is there in the States for a city commuter? Perhaps just a suburban runabout, under 20 mile commuter?

      @Mazda616 A good sign it’s been well maintained. The AC in my Jaguar actually still works, with probably the original compressor even. One of the Previous owners seems to have had it converted to R134.

      Original owner of Jolene spent over $1,000 converting her A/C to R134a, as well. And I love them for it. 😂

      @Mazda616 I'm no expert but just do little things you can stick to and gradually make modifications to your lifestyle over time. No big resolutions or fad diets; some stuff will work for you (cut out soda) and some won't (kale smoothies) - there's no failing just an ongoing process.
      Calorie tracking and data can be handy because some restaurant/processed foods are brutal but it's not for everyone. (I run "my fitness pal" from time to time, it's pretty user friendly as it scans barcodes)

      @Mazda616 Also, I realize “built” means many different things to many different people. In my case, it means I got this car with low miles but filthy and in need of a lot of work. I have had it extensively detailed and I’ve also had paint correction done. And, I’ve painstakingly done or had done every repair needed to get it as close to 1990 factory-fresh as I can. That, to me, is “built.” ❤️

      Me too. People tend to think that their opinion on cars is the only one that matters. Which is incorrect to say the least. I love my car and it makes me happy. You’d think that’d be enough for people but apparently not.

      CoolMinivan.......Nobody

      @ttyymmnn I figure that's going to be my van's last step before it's retired.
      Most likely can have it done for less than the cost of buying a new vehicle, which means I'll have a brand new version of something I know I love driving.

      @Mazda616 How much longer do you figure until it comes out? You're south a ways right? Can't be too much longer 🙂

      I hope to have her out soon, although we are supposed to have a random 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow night. 😞 Every time we have nice weather, it is followed by rain and/or snow and cold.

      @mazda616 That front plat is a nice touch. Is that new or have you always had that?

      It’s new-ish. Got it last summer on eBay!

      @chariotoflove He’s gonna be five in February. It’s ridiculous!

      Wait til he asks to drive Jolene to prom!

      That would make me happy! I hope to pass her on to him someday.

      Why is Jolene such a rain magnet?

      @mazda616 Don't mention rain....we just got 30cm of snow the night before last, and now we have a rainfall warning tomorrow for 30mm with flood warnings due to that and the snow melt 😕

      Man that thing is in good shape. It's apparent you take really good care of that car.

      Now if it had a manual, i'd be drooling - but that is just personal preference. She's still a really, really nice car, even if it's not 'nice' by society's standards. Fuck society anyway.

      @mazda616 you should've talked to them to find out what they drive and poke fun at them.

      Proof that Jolene does leave the garage occasionally and does get dirty!

      @mazda616 They just have that “thing” that feels really “futuristic” for the time. I’ve always loved wheels like that.

      @old-busted-hotness They were the only 14s my tire shop had but I like them a lot. I was lucky they even had these. 13s are impossible to find now and 14s are quickly becoming that way.
