You should be in good shape for that Miles. The roads are already pretty cleared up, and the wind is dying down around here as well.

Yeah.. maybe. US air has a "Travel Advisory" for Bradley until wednesday at midnight and they are allowing you to change your flight reservations without extra fees. Really dont want to stay down here much longer, i want to get on the snowmobile

Lol, I was just sent on a mission to go in the rental car and collect salt off the side of the road for my grandparents driveway. Manual shifting without a clutch option is fun

Since October 1987, the Connecticut Used Car Warranty Law has covered certain used cars purchased from licensed Connecticut dealers. The law covers mechanical and operational defects at the time of purchase, if the owner has met all of the following conditions:
The owner has paid at least $3,000 for the vehicle. $2600
The vehicle is six years old or less. 2000
The vehicle is used for personal purposes or family or household use.

the "dealer's" name is: cars under 3000. they dont want to know anything after the car rolls off the lot.

its ok, i will fix it.

Hey all. Hope your enjoying the snow. Haven't been keeping up here lately. Busy last two weeks or so with working and exams not to long ago at school. Got the run the truck and get it to work. Plowed the driveway with it. Brakes still don't work... and now the passenger drum is leaking brake fluid somewhere and it turned the abs light on. I'm getting sick of these drums, i'm converting to disk asap in the spring, sick of these drums, and finishing all the brake work so i can stop the thing and get it on the road. Other than that got a battery maintainer for it so it will start (killed the battery two times, and didn't get it to full charge after both times, and our battery charger has no status indicator and i'm not willing to leave it on there and overcharge it). Other than that truck seems to be a cold blooded beast.
