Oh man... perfect combo. A good friend of mine had a 93 Ram 5.9 Cummins with the six speed NV4500. I was really bummed when he sold it without asking me first! Another friend had a 50 something Willys Jeep with a 4BT, completely rebuilt from the frame up, same deal, he sold it without ever even mentioning it to me.

The Audi is pickled for long-term storage in my enclosed race car hauler. The cost of renting a car for the trip is less to me than the hassle of pulling it out and re-pickling it when I get home.

My DW's Kia Niro EV has ~260 miles of range and would probably do fine for this trip...except that it's still in COVID quarantine after being exposed to an infected friend last week.

Surely a first-world problem that I won't drive a truck without a working AC unit, when the pioneers traveled west for longer trips than I'm making with horse-drawn wagons and no AC or even a breeze from an open window.....

I've actually been in a similar situation. Our ICE SUV was out of commission, I cannot bring the i3 simply because of range but also luggage space. I won't take my M3 CS because it is a track car with obnoxiously loud track focused brake pads and sticky tires. My Civic was currently on loan to someone else. We ended up renting a Suburban.

TWO WEEKS?? To replace a rear bumper and repair a small crease in the tailgate??

I was thinking 3-4 days tops

All scratched up from thorns when I was digging up a hidden sprinkler in the bushes in my front yard. First world problem of a home owner. Growing up, I never thought I'd be so lucky.

I rented a base Toyauto RAV4 for our weekend road trip, and they only had a Grand Cherokee Trail Hawk available when I went to pick it up today.....

Being able to track my pizza I ordered because I'm hungover and don't want to leave my couch.

I put my summer wheels on my truck and I can't get my TPMS to sync up. Now every time I start the truck I have a warning come up and I have to push the button to get rid of it. Last spring I went to the dealer to get it done and they charged me $200 to reset them... $200!!!
Never again.

You’re a brave soul. I can’t wait to put on my big girl wheels but will wait a few weeks until we don’t have lows in the 40s. No slipping and sliding for me.
