As promised.

 

What the fuck

 

Exactly.

 

Put down the wrench, pick up the pen

<seriously, that was a perfect couplet Chase>

 

I wasn't the one who peed, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!!!

Yeah definitely, it seems at least in my limited selling there it can take some time to weed em out. I've never not left a 5 star unless I didn't do any business, in that case I just skip it.

A car dealer I follow has the same issue, people just lowball and waste time then leave a shitty review. Especially bad for a business.

Though I did give the guy I got this from a 5 star

 

Lol I got a one star review cuz I told a guy if nobody takes it by the weekend he can come then. Someone came. Sorry but I was upfront

I find most of my reviews are friends or family trolling me about something for sale heh

 

What is your take on bugs?

 

I hate cold weather, plus it is a big reason we have rust here.

 

Thank you sir, but, I'm sure the wrench will pay more consistently....

Bugs HERE are not an issue....



Spend some time in a coastal tropical climate. Big mosquitos, flying roaches, black widows, brown recluse, etc.
And I'll still take that over the cold. I can't function.

And this.

My Jeep looked better after 19 years of driving on the beach, than my Tacoma after year 3(FF/WW).
Plus all that money I dumped in the StupidDuty...

 

To me, it sounds like a lot of your issues with the cold could be solved with the purchase of a new fat bike!

 

This is it for me. I can learn to live alongside gators, snakes, bugs, etc.
You can go out and about and do stuff, maybe you need bug spray, or leather boots.
When it's 14 degrees outside, you just go from your house, to your car, to your office, to your car, to your house. The thought (for me) of being outside is a nonstarter.

@jpereira2 can attest, mine looks great for a 5 year olds beaten on woods truck in new england. LCAs and body damage aside, if I could clean the mud off, this truck would be almost "like new" or "great" condition.

The problem is cleaning all that mud and dirt is a full time job for a month. But no rust!

....My crossmember did take a smack, so, maybe not "like new"

Great, now I can be miserable at speed.

 

Hell yeah! It's a slog sometimes pedaling through snow (it goes about as well as you'd imagine it would) but aired down fat tires with studs, you can get thru some pretty serious shit! I use the fat bike through mud season also, just swap to non-studded tires.

 

Its called insulated overalls, they are great. They also make crawling around on the floor more comfortable.

My biggest issue with the cold and working on stuff is chemicals freezing and tools not working right in the cold. Tubing bender cylinder blowing up on a 20 deg morning

 

Im tempted to get one, there is groomed trails a mile down the street from my house.

 

But we ain't got no snow Lt. Dan

If you like the cold and have that access, hell yeah.

We get snow for like, a day, then it turns to ice or melts the next day.
I could ride my road bike more than a fat bike in the winter here.

 

I’m in the camp of wanting a winter to actually be a winter. Our RI winters are basically cold, rainy, slushy, and any snow we might get doesn’t last. So it’s not really great weather for doing anything fun outside and you can’t do any fun snow related things without going north. If I can’t have a real winter, then I’m not opposed to being somewhere where the weather is more pleasant. Maybe somewhere where “winter” is more like fall weather instead of cold slush. Just don’t want to be hot, humid, Florida all the time. Unless I’m in Hawaii or something. I could deal with that

 

Give me more snow! $$$$$ plowing

 

Doesn't matter, still gets cold and you get ice on roots and rocks. The fat bike tires with studs have grip for days. If it's below freezing and there's moisture (ice), I'm ripping the fat bike! The big tires are great for frozen ground also, they just roll over everything, it's awesome! I'll rock it through the summer for a change of pace, I can't help but have a big, shit eating grin on my face listening to those big ole tires howl down a trail.

 

Right?? Give me snow or get me outta here! There’s places in North Carolina that get as much snow as we do

 

Durham NC overlaps way more than I thought they did.

I was down in Chapel Hill a couple years ago in October for 2 weeks, I was surprised at how similar the weather was. We thought about moving there, until we did for a couple weeks and realized that it's a heck of a lot of move for little realized benefit on the weather.
