Re: Random posting

On the same policy the '13 and '14 Journey's have minimum liability and cost 50. more EACH for 6 months.... Bottom line on ...

Re: Random posting

Congrats! It must have been a heck of a good feeling being behind the wheel and "tooling" down the highway of your srt! I however just keep my fingers crossed that nothing serious happens with our Journeys and my Lucerne until REAL SPRING gets here and I can start with the after winter maint. on the...

Re: Random posting

Well I ended up reshuffling how the 3 cars are parked in the driveway AND with the strong winds I ended up with 1.5" of "nuisance" snow in the driveway. I did shovel the sidewalk between the house and driveway, gosh those winds were strong thru to Friday morning.ALL melted now as we hit 53* today......

Re: Random posting

Just got done with local news weather, they say snows all Lake Effect, snow to last most of today and evening. Funny that National future radars are NOT picking up and showing the LES. Good old Lake Erie!

Re: Random posting

Holy Caravans Batman! Yup, a lot easier to work on with those early 4 bangers in the minivans, and another "odd ball" with it having a manual trans.
I only came across ONE in my auto tech days, have fun bringing your new project back to life!

Re: Random posting

Thursday we hit 50* and no rain, so up on the roof{not a fun task} to clean my wood stove chimney cap and pipe of 6 months of creosote build up. Was pleasantly surprised that it was not worse than it was, only change had been that most years I've burned mostly Ash, this year I have much more Cherry,...

Re: Random posting

OH WOW ! Those cars and parts are getting to be like Hens teeth to find, so sorry to hear of that happening.Not to mention the high cost of a tow bill. We are getting a warm up here to the low 40's this week.....I'll gladly take it, the near 0's and winds are and have been a killer for our OLD home!...

Re: Random posting

Not really a football fan honestly. A lot of my co-workers just talk about football all the time. So I can't really get away from it. I watched like a couple plays and kept an eye on the score. Surprised the Chiefs won in Buffalo. Now they got to face the Ravens it looks like. Well, congrats to you...

Re: Can't get away from Neon's

Very nice! Sounds like the crank sensor was not a fun part to replace. I am sure it tows better. Quite a bit more power and torque then the Lucerne? The journey has a much shorter wheelbase and shorter{read normal length} coupler, so much easier to maneuver with it. Also ride height is higher than ...

Re: Can't get away from Neon's

I also forgot to mention that it was also equipped with factory tow package/hitch and wired, which was the absolute reason for buying this Journey. And it tows my trailer much better than my Buick Lucerne!

Re: Random posting

i am in KC area. Chiefs will have a tough time with beating the Bills in football especially being in Buffalo. Should be a good game. I figured you'd probably be a "Chiefs" fan by your location. The Chiefs are good {but not as good as previous seasons}, and FANS will have a GREAT GAME to watch with...

Re: The Weather Thread

Well it's snowing AGAIN here in Western NY. Third time since Easter! Not a lot, but enough for a noticable coating of an inch or so. Just wish that temps were a bit warmer both day and night by now, as snowfalls are not any problem to handle as they've been light.
