Hey guys-I got some good news today. The heart doctor says I can go back to work and has cancelled my driving restrictions. Back to the grindstone bright and early Monday! 'Can't wait! That's great Jeff!
Something clever here.

The thing I worry about with those high tech touch screens is how much it is gonna cost when they fizzle just out of warranty. I would imagine that is only warrantied for 3/36,000 right? They are nice when they work but if they should ever quit....  Also, when we went out west in a Dodge truck earlier snowmobiling, it was a major distraction to go through all the touch screen stuff. The drive had to spend a lot of time with his head down in the screen to manipulate it at all. Kinda dangerous. Voice activated seems better.

Going to need the AWD this morning. We have 3.5" of wet heavy snow and it's still snowing. Yep, we got 10cm of wet heavy stuff yesterday ! Woke up to -12*c this am, it's like a skating rink. Everything froze stiff as morning wood !

I've only had mine for 4 days and I don't find the screen distracting at all. You make a good point though about repairs. Might have to shop the internet for a extended warranty. We were out of power for 2 hours this morning. I also managed to plug up the blower twice with slush. We're supposed to get down to 17* tonight so it's going to be slick as heck in the morning.

My 2012 Dodge Ram has dual exhaust w/chrome caps and a cool rumble sound. Anybody know a good place to pick up chicks, say 55-62, already tucked and lifted w/large annuities?

Tom,
Way to cheap, down there, then.
Single in (3") & dual out (2.5"), MagnaFlow stainless muffler, custom bent pipe & manufactured hangars, everything welded + 2 x 2.5" in x 4" out stainless MagnaFlow tips ='s $750+ taxes @ my shop.
Cat back, MagnaFlow true duals ='s $1200 + taxes
Big part of our business in Spring. We build & install for the local GM, Ford & Dodge dealerships.
Single in, dual out takes my technicians approx. 5 hours & true duals about 7 hours.
Paul.

That cracks me up Ron! Something tells me dual exhaust isnt high on the list of attributes of a 55-62 yr old with large annuities.

Then I understand what you're saying. Most guys here just get the exhaust shop to do it and it's 2 into 1, into 2 with with plain old chrome tips. I'm not a fan of the chrome myself though. Heck, most are probably Cherry Bomb glass packs. Yours is a real exhaust. Much different.

T,
Best sounding factory exhaust I've ever owned. Reminds me of the custom dual exhaust with Thrush mufflers I had on my '57 Chevy back in the day. Bucket seats, 327 corvette engine, 4-speed w/ Hurst floor shifter, deep emerald green metal flake paint. Talk about a "chick magnet". Back then girls DID care about vehicles. That car screamed "status".
Once, when I was young..........

Cheers Tom,
MagnaFlow also make "cherry bomb" resonators.
Local kids want them on their dual exhaust trucks. Loud as heck !!
Had one Mom pick up her kids truck, after we finished. You shoulda seen the smile on her face when she fired it up !!

Straight pipes, Hollywood's and other glass packs those were the days. Now I like quiet.

4* above this morning. I wonder what this did to the trees that are budding. Could raise heck with the fruit trees.
More snow Wednesday. Up to 10" up around Park Falls. We may get an inch or two then it turns to rain/sleet.

It was 19* here when I left for work. 21 now. I think the trees will be fine, it's my sanity I'm concerned with.
