Me neither, all I think of is bourbon and Memphis music, not necessarily in that order.

That's the spirit.
Occasionally, I have left a few souvenirs when they parked squarely in the middle of leaf operations (under the oak trees), but nothing like that. Amateur hour.
You should have an off-line chat with the never-ending problem people so this thread stays on topic.
What makes you think of Tennessee?

They make a lot. And they're right next to Kentucky.

After I posted that she said something like "I guess I better look for no suspension then". It's not what I suggested. I told her to look for something light with 100mm of suspension. They can afford it and she will be happier with a bike around 25 pounds, as opposed to a 32 pound enduro bike which would be silly for her purposes.
She has no real experience with mountain biking, just dirt roads and a few flat trails. I could link something I think would be appropriate but I tried that last time.

That part was hard to take. "Do they ride better in gravel than a mountain bike?" "No, they are like a road bike that can go on dirt roads and easy trails". "Why do they call them gravel bikes, then?"

Seems you would get along well with my brother-in-law, at least with regards to cars.
He had his last one shipped from either GA or NC (I don't remember which).
This
Why? Someone sets up the accounts. It's not the chatbot. For what purpose?
I think of Knoxville music.
You need to get out (of the bike world) more.

I had my daily ceramic coated and told the dealer not to wash it. They still washed it. The service manager came over and apologized profusely and gave me a $100 discount.
Yes.

I use a combination of things. Adam's paint sealant, Adams In-n-Out spray for sprucing up plastics and the engine bay, Adams VRP for tires, various carnuba waxes layered over the sealant, ceramic coatings on exterior unpainted plastics, and some other tech coatings. I have PPF on the front half of both Porsches, and use Expel sealant on that. I use a ceramic devil spray after washings. All depends on how much I want to do and how much time I have.
The Jeep doesn't get all that. It goes thru the car wash and gets a sealant once or twice a year.
