Requesting Blue

[Marc]

Same here, It's such a habit to stick a car in gear when parking even though the driveway is flat.

Same here. I don't trust cables, I always throw it in first or reverse.

You must have a hard time riding chair lifts then...

 

[Greg]

Well, I did leave the car out last night. Sorry; only got into the mid 40's this morning.

 

[Marc]

You must have a hard time riding chair lifts then...

Naw, they're OK, since they're wire ropes. And typically not underengineered for their working load.

I'm curious, have you ever seen a parking brake cable fail? I've seen them get stuck/gummed up from lack of use, but not actually break...

Yes... twice. However I will admit in both instances... they were probably used in a manner in which most people would consider abuse... neither were in a car I owned a drove, in case you're wondering.

 

[bvibert]

Would said manner have anything to do with pulling up on the e-brake really hard while the vehicle was in motion?

Not that I would know anything about such maneuvers... Especially in snow...

Well, this says that you should have already had frost...:razz:

Just goes to show you how accurate accuweather is...

 

[tcharron]

Naw,

We just have to find the mother pucker who's been scraping all the frost from Greg's car before he gets up..

And when we do, there will be pain.... :beer:

Of course, you're totally clueless about that. And the benefits of that with a rear drive vehicle with the 4WD off.

Well, this says that you should have already had frost...:razz:

Averages, my dear, averages. Looks like this year we're on the late end of the trend.

28 at my house last night...Greg, what's the deal...do you live near some geothermal outlet?

Depends on who you're talking too... dealer? No, of course not.


Between me and you.... I'll say, it's a definite possbility.

Frost on my windshield both Saturday morning and this morning. Boy does that ever put me in a good mood.

I mentioned this to my co-workers and nearly got run out of the building this morning.

 

[riverc0il]

At this rate, AZ'ers with the default theme might not being seeing blue until a ski area actually opens up. :lol:

The grief I take only puts me in a better mood. Must go along with the whole "not liking people" think I've got going...

 

[bvibert]

At this rate, AZ'ers with the default theme might not being seeing blue until a ski area actually opens up. :lol:

Or after!

 

[tcharron]

Sorry. I'm latitude-challenged... :roll:

OMG, I just noticed your in CT.

Holy crap, it'll be like December by the time it changes to blue! :-D
