New England B.S. Thread

Nice!

 

Does anybody in this forum like Indian pudding? A true NE dessert. I like it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it

 

I've never tried it.

 

I’ve never heard of it!

 

I just looked it up. "A New England traditional Thanksgiving classic." First I'm hearing about it.

My father likes it and I tried it when I was a kid and I liked it. Could be an acquired taste. I was in the market basket in the South Nashua location . I couldn’t find it and I asked so they ordered a couple of cases.

 

Never seen it. Think I'd rather try it fresh instead of from a can though.

 

Did some cold weather detailing this morning. Got the truck washed and then a coat of QuickWax just to knock off the salt and give it some shine for a few days. Also got some of my decals applied.

 

Absolutely! I’ve not yet had the opportunity but will jump at it at first chance

 

Same here. Reminds me of this stuff a coworker drinks. Water in a can. Says it’s good for a hangover. I tell him I just can’t drink water from a can.

 

Any reason not to run the original BFG mud terrains? The are oem Rubicon take-offs.
I always liked the classic mud terrain design

 

It's just water. I guess they can it because it's more recyclable than plastic.

 

I saw this while out shopping today, imagine my surprise when I saw it leaving.
I think it's a Fairlane 500 ???..

 

With the top down no less!

 

If they're more than 5 years old I wouldn't on a daily driver. Check the dates code. Tires have a ~5 year shelf life.

 

My immediate thought as well. Isn't 5 typically sell-by, with 6-10 for usage depending on manufacturer and inspection? I've got date code 2013 snow tires I'm retiring after this season that have zero dry rot and cracking and have always been properly stored in the off-season. The Michelins from the Vette are date coded 2012 that I'd like to push one more season as Michelin claims 10 years with proper inspection.

Of course, then there's this one you can by without any miles on it!

No siping, I can’t imagine they’d do great on slick roads. I know lots of people run them on the road but i’d rather have something with some siping.

 

That's correct. Someone way upsold Cupcake on her last Rav4 and got her 80K mile tires when she drove 8-10K a year. Infuriated me that they were all rotted in 5 years and still had good meat.

 

Some of those real high mileage tires have traction issues also. The compound is so hard that, after around 50k miles, they wear like iron but the rubber is hard and doesn't have a good grip. Not the case for all of them, but I've had issues with some in the past.
