When did you all move into your nursing homes? Can't sit down in a car now? Too hard to stand up? Do you all need artificial knees? Oh look... your apple sauce is here for dinner.

* Been forever and a day since I last visited, so time to catch up a bit! MID SEP 2021 Angela, a friend I met several times in southern OR and the creator of the EPIC THREAD about her Dad's 1987 Monte Carlo SS, died.

I have video of the odometer changing, which I will share sometime. IDES OF MARCH 2022 Dan, my best and closest-ever friend, died early AM 03/15/2022; I was in his ICU room with him. I have had quite the difficulty with this. I wrote several tributes. 03/19/2022, the evening after we buried him: https://www.facebook.com/cortOldCarsStrongHearts/posts/10228052866969210 05/07/2022, with info as to why I have yet to create that 200K-mile celebratory post: https://www.facebook.com/cortOldCarsStrongHearts/posts/10228332044388471 05/22/2022 on the OC,SH FB page with a photo of his 1997 Ford F-150: https://www.facebook.com/OldCarsStrongHearts/posts/pfbid02yBfnp4fw636bnFNZ7ZzsLErdjJ8zfGHX1dvd4cVhtHVEbCeiRhLa7KDr7RsMhEVJl MISC Created and received new Business Cards.

What is always fun also is the random pain-- climbing a flight of 4 steps and suddenly shooting pain in my right knee... or sneezing and getting sharp pain in my hip. Or getting out of my Jeep after driving two hours and having to hang on to the door to stand up. And I have a history of very little exercise and spending way too many hours in a cubicle. I'm trying to walk a lot more, get some exercise and keep my mind sharp so I don't end up like Captain Pike or an eggplant. I fear cognitive decline more than physical over all though. I don't want to end up a schizophrenic with dementia--several examples in my family.

Try being 55 with a history of body building and power lifting and now bone on bone. Why get into a low squat position when you can slid your bum into the seat. After all, I figure Raptors, TRD's, etc. is the new performance auto for the X Generation and life style for the Y generation. Hopefully with BEVs we will see America come back with a new stable of Performance SUVs and Trucks. 20 Best Performance SUVs for 2022 - TrueCar Hummer by GMC is a good start. Getting old sucks, but at least the pain reminds you that you are alive!

nope, AWD is required for me in the snow state for a year round car as opposed to RWD only, like thousands of other buyers.

Given the condition of Pittsburgh (and NJ/NYC for that matter) roads, true off-road tires would be the most appropriate. ? But yea, if I had the R nineT Original I'd have gone with a typical street tire. I've just really liked the Scrambler style from any manufacturer. While I'll never take this true off-roading because it's too heavy for that, I like that I can take it down some dirt/gravel trails that are well compacted.

Matches the look and intent of the Scrambler style. These are very much "for the looks" rather than being true adventure tires. I'm quite happy with them. The rear tire of the original set was very much gone and I had a couple of scares on it.
