Good to Drive our Old X, Again...
This morning, I unplug the Battery Tender, let some air out of the tires, check under hood and all around for any mice camping out, and check the oil & coolant. I get in, turn the key, listen to the computer hum up, and it starts first turn, as usual, as if I had parked it a day ago. I roll down the Mtn to hit the dentist, run some errands, load 8 bags of mulch and 2 1/2 gal of chain saw mix into the trunk, roll home up the Mtn, from town... It is just like an old comfortable sneaker, yet it runs so well for nearly 10 years old and 80k miles, that it is remarkable, imo. And, it put a smile on my face! GL, mD

Nice to hear, mD! Welcome back to H-B-H, I bet the locals are glad to see you again.
28k on my 04 (Oct'03) and hasn't been driven in a week and a half, still on the original battery. |

Great to hear that the old Xis still running strong.
How are you liking the new appliance/suv?

Haigha/P...yes, very good to be 'home'.
1st round tomorrow, on our local club track, Laurel Ridge CC; curious to see if all my playing in FL can translate to our mtn course. HDCP is 13.4... Silver/Blue: the '01 Hyundai Tuck is ok. TheCEO loves it, I am less ecstatic. The 10 yr old E53 is still light years ahead of it, minus the gizmos the Tucson has. |

K/B: 79 this season, 78 was my best there, a couple years ago.
My best at our Mtn track is 80, with several 81s, but a much tougher course. Naz: driving anything around Naples or, SW FL, is very little fun: flatazz, boring, crowded, 7 mins of redlights at every intersection, ol'geezers that can't drive, etc. The Vette, (or the m'cycles), is the balls back here on the 2 lane blacktops, in the mtns! |

I guess the mountains missed all that bad weather about a week ago?
