I tried getting my first love out from the cover since it'll be decent today and tomorrow; got the cover halfway off went to start her and.....dead battery
God damn you sub-zero winter you killed my battery.

After that failed it was recover and hop in the truck and drive away

 

@DoubleRGirl

Rebecca, I saw this and thought of you.



Of course, I know you're this type:

 

Apt, but I was sticking with an outdoor theme.

 

@Noelie84 & @Pugga aren't fender flares meant for larger tires or is that just something F-150 drivers do?


Well pre-valentines day plans got ruined, Bruins game, by a flat from a pot hole larger than the car....I guess that's what I get for letting her say we're taking her car....womens

 

Disclosure: completely joking

 

He probably had larger tires when he installed the flares, and downsized later due to funds/winter tire set/etc. Saw it a lot when I worked retail; guys would come in looking for a replacement set, find out how much they cost, and go to something smaller (and cheaper)

That flat tire must have been karma for mocking Ford drivers

Edit- Why the flatbed, though? Does she not have a spare? Or did you damage something suspension/steering related too?

 

Thankfully mine is hooked up to a trickle charger, and I have been driving it this week

 

Haha everything was going too smoothly so the flat was the wrench getting thrown.

But her car doesn't have a spare, has the spot for one but it's filled with foam, a compressor and some slime that doesn't work. Trust me if there was a spare we would have made it to the game. The pothole claimed 3 cars in a 5 minute span.

 

Here ya go.....

 

I used to be able to do that but, the carport it's sitting under doesn't have any outlets that I could use. I'm pretty sure my apartment complex wouldn't want me running extension cables down from the 4th floor

 

you didnt read this disclosure!!!

 

It's a drawing not a picture though; @jpereira2 found the loophole

 

That annoys me about newer cars now. The GF's Mustang is the same way.

 

true

 

I have one of those solar panel battery maintainers I keep on the dash of the F'n'J when it sits for a while.
Plugs into the OBD port and works like a charm.

 

ohhh, i like that idea, time to see what I shouldn't spend money on.

 

I just pull my batteries if they're going to be sitting. The battery for the '69 and for the boat are both in the basement on a maintainer right now. Always did the same with the bikes when they got put away for the year.

Edit- Although actually at the old house the whole bike used to come inside, since we had that huge walk-in cellar that we weren't utilizing. The Ninja used to go into the laundry room and the Suzuki would go in the main room. Guests used to think I was crazy
