We'd like to keep our Sportwagen a couple more years. It's getting up there in miles, though - we crossed 150k on the VA trip - and the niggling repairs keep comin'. I'm trying to take on some of those repairs, though - paying $800 here, $500 there, $1k there, etc, etc gets to be hard to swallow, otherwise.

It's a new snow tire year. Those Blizzaks are gonna be a little more than twice the price of a GP5000.

I feel like de-carbing the intake manifold should be SOP during the spark plug service on the TSi motors.

Are you saying it's like the quasi-north?
Sounds nice. Not to exercise in, probably, but I could enjoy going out in the shade and soaking in the life-sustaining warmth.

Flagstaff and Knoxville (both on I-40) are also both on the 35th latitude (barely), so maybe it does count as quasi-north.
I retract my previous statement. One can arguably snowbird from the quasi-north. I would consider it that if I split time with Florida.

NWS Flagstaff says the numbers aren’t official yet, as it can still snow into May at high elevations. However, between Oct. 1, 2022, to April 15, 2023, Flagstaff recorded just over 163 inches of snow compared to the average of 87 inches. Williams also saw staggering numbers, coming in at just under 140 inches, over twice the average of 63.3 inches.

Trsnrtr I'm all for electric vehicles. But the Tesla is too showy/flashy for my taste. Too much "tech bro" energy. From what I can see, it's mostly ambitious white men in their 30's and 40's working in engineering or operations, with a lot to prove. I realize that I am probably (much) closer to that demographic than your wife is 
, but still it's not a vibe I want to participate in.

So frontier changed our flight down to orlando back in July. In my experience, airlines use a 24 hour clock when expressing flight times. So 9 am is 9 am and 9 pm is 2100. Our flight was originally noon and then changed to 9 pm, however, my mistake I read it as 9 am which was actually a good thing. We were just going over our vacation and saw that it’s actually 942 pm and we don’t arrive til midnight. That’s a no go. Cost to change flights to the day prior? 150 bucks. So, because Frontier changed our flight which ****s with our plans, change flight 150, extra night at hotel 450, food 300, activity 630 dollars. Extra 1500 dollars in cost to us.
I know all airlines change flight schedules but to charge me for the inconvenience is complete bull ****.

Something does not make sense. AA pilot flying Frontier. July was two months ago. $630 daily activity fee for 2.5 people.
Sounds like delirium. Best get to a hospital!
