Did he put REAL winter tires on it?

He said it would lose power pulling a big hill in snow and the car just wouldn't make it, he'd have to turn around go back down and try again. He hated the car so much that winter he said he always left the keys in it hoping someone would steal it Lol! We have long steep grades here in the Catskill Mountains.
I thought he said it was something to do with the motor taking over the electric too late but I was just looking them up, it looks like they had a problem with mountains in snow where the traction control would actually decelerate the motor/loose power. I don't know if this is something they have addressed and fixed now.

Sad morning in our household.

Our 13, almost 14 year old canine family member, Bunny passed away last night at 11 PM from a massive heart attack. We are going to lay her to rest after breakfast.

They sure do leave deep paw prints on your heart.

So sorry MC... always the absolute worst part of pet ownership. I hope it was quick and relatively pain free for her. Be well!

Yeah... might be a computer thing.

My Toyota is one of the first years they put on all of these lovely computer controlled safety features :rant

So...mine is not a "switching from electric to gas" mine is "save you from the super scary slipping" :rolleyes: Hate the stuff. If your tires slip just the smallest bit the car beeps at you, AND THEN CUTS OFF ALL POWER TO THE GAS!!! Gotta love having to back down a curvy icy hill....so you can take another run at it. Oh yeah, thats safe. :rant
 
I'm so sorry, microchick. It isn't easy but sure glad it was quick.


Latestarter, I did shoot with ratshot a few nights last summer, used a red light to illuminate the area then shot based upon what I could see. This looks much better.


Woke up this morning at 0300 with wicked nausea. After a horror filled 8 hours or so I think things have calmed down. Today was supposed to be my sewing day - did all my chores yesterday so I could spend the day in there getting caught up without any regret or guilt. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go chop my pig up, might have to send BF in my place (he's going to love that probably more than being woken up this morning by the horrific sounds echoing in the bathroom that his side of the bed shares a wall with) if this doesn't continue to stay calm. I was just sick 2 weeks ago, too (not with GI symptoms), so this is exactly what I needed to round out my month.
 
sorry SCG

Miss Heny know how you feel. I hate telephones. I hate making calls - I hate answering calls. I've got a old answering machine from when my son was very young. I either screen calls and only answer the ones I know. Or just let them pile up on the machine & check them out later. PS I also hate answering doors. The doorbell doesn't work and I'm thrilled. I CAN if I absolutely HAVE TOO. But, that is rare.
