Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Finished the Valley of the Sun-Lake Erie Dash. 2087 miles, 46 hours, 25.5 mpg average. Exhausted. Jeep filthy, two rock chips on windshield, some rocker trim ripped off from running over object on I-70 west of Columbus. Wired from caffiene, need sleep. Was 105F when we left Phoenix Sat evening, 56F now in Cleveland. Edited June 6, 2017 by Cubical-aka-Moltar 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew Dowdell 11,308 2 Vehicles Posted June 6, 2017 Gosh, it only would have been like $700 to ship it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Couldn't have shipped the dogs though. Last time I shipped a car it was about $1100, 15 years ago. In retrospect, should have rented an RV or minivan to drive back here w the dogs. Jeep is too small inside for all that we crammed in it. That said, it drove very well...smooth and comfortable for long distance driving. . Edited August 29, 2017 by Cubical-aka-Moltar 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted August 29, 2017 After almost 4 months, the Jeep has been great..really enjoying it...need to work on finishing unpacking from the move so I can use the garage, though. Still parking outside. Since I'm working from home, I've only put about 4000 miles on it.. 2099 of it on the drive back here. Going to get some Weathertech mats and new tires for winter, carpeted mats and the original Goodyear Forteras aren't up to an Ohio winter... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Yesterday made 6 months I'd had my Jeep. Ready for winter..Weathertech liner mats installed and new tors. Edited November 1, 2017 by Cubical-aka-Moltar 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dfelt 4,992 5 Vehicles Posted November 1, 2017 @Cubical-aka-Moltar Awesome, they look great, love the Michelin Defender tires, quiet and grippy, awesome and ready for winter. Way to go! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted November 12, 2017 Finally cleared enough space to get my Jeep in my garage. For a 1967 suburban tract house 2 car garage, it feels small..hard to imagine a 60s full size sedan and wagon fitting in here...still have work to do to get the second spot open.

Drew Dowdell 11,308 2 Vehicles Posted November 12, 2017 Same. I would imagine my garage was pretty much useless from 1950 till 1980 for anything considered mid-size in those eras. The Roadmaster Wagon just barely fit in there, but I had to kiss the front rubber right up to the brick 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted November 12, 2017 I was concerned if I could open the hatch in the garage...I can..woo hoo. Some days the littlest things make me happy. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balthazar 7,606 3 Vehicles Posted November 12, 2017 • I really like the GC styling. Walked by a GC SRT at the dealer recently, I think I did a 'sharp inhale- slow exhale'. If I cared to spend that kind of money on a vehicle, it'd be a top contender. • DD- the Roadie WagonMaster was 218" overall- even a mid-60s GTO is 207-ish. Most garages are too small, period. I did cram my '65 Bonneville in my house garage, and that was 222". Didn't have to touch the wall, but there was no squeezing around either end of it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scout 178 Posted November 12, 2017 I have garage Envy. My house has a one-car garage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted November 12, 2017 I wish I had a four car garage..but I do have space down on the family farm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scout 178 Posted November 12, 2017 I'd be very happy with a three-car garage. Not that I would park in it. Being in Northern California I have no real need to park in the garage. However it would give me for more room for my tools, general storage, and most importantly man cave. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have my basement for my man cave (future project) and a spare bedroom (4 bedroom house) for my hobby room/home office. I didn't have a garage in Arizona, wished I had one there...no protection from the dust, sun, tree needles and sap, stray cats, etc...

Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted December 14, 2017 Had it out in it's first snow today...grubby. 34k miles, running great, new Michelins are great. Who knows, I bought in AZ in April, it had come straight from a corporate lease in Costa Mesa, may never have been in snow before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted December 14, 2017 It is funny how clean this Jeep was...got it with 25k miles, and everything was pretty much spotless inside and out..trying to keep it that way for a while.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of, this is the first winter for my dogs--all were from Phoenix. Had a couple of them out yesterday, one didn't like it, another was hopping in the snow...

Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted March 29, 2018 One year mark on the Jeep coming up this Saturday. Took it in for an oil + filter change, air filter, cabin air filter, tire rotation. Did a UConnect update at home last week. I've put slightly over 10k miles on it in the first year--working from home it sits a lot, and 2000 miles of that was done in 2 days last June. Very happy with my second Jeep. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Hall 5,429 4 Vehicles Posted October 28, 2018 Hit the 40,000 mile mark on Friday. Need to get an oil change and recall fix (cruise control) soon, but ready for winter otherwise. Running great. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
