    I'm in NM myself - lots of stands but not good places to go to blow stuff up. At least it's rained a bit. You up in CO?

    Ship USPS enough in the last ~10 months and you're guaranteed to have a bad time. UPS and FedEx never give me issues.

    My UPS dudes treat me well here - one of them has actually bought stuff from me

    USPS throughout the nation though? Man, luck of the draw

    our UPS driver looks like a full Viking with a hawk and literally carries big heavy thing like they are nothing.

    our fedex guy likes to put things in front of the garage instead of the front door for some reason.

    usps - it's hit and miss but our latest drive likes us so tends to actually try -- though so does our little local post office; I got sparco's delivered from ireland and they asked me to come look at one of them before delivering so they could send it back damaged since the box looked like it fell into the ocean...turns out it was fine and we opened it at the office together for a good laugh.

    This fucking tundra man... new water pump, new oem thermostat, new aisin fan clutch, new clean red coolant, a clean newish looking radiator, no leaks, no bubbles in the coolant while running, no leaks according to pressure test, passes block test

    221°f cruising at 70mph 230°F cruising at 80

    Everything I've done helps a little bit but there's an underlying issue I havnt found

    At first it was just an autozone thermostat that failed shut less than a block from stone cold and it would be boiling over... I though this one would be easy

    I've met some people from Scottsdale, a lot of racists there :rofl:

    Nope, can drive around town all day and on the highway at 70 without going over 221 at the sensor needle smack dab in the middle of the guage

    Turn off cruise so you're on and off the gas more erratically or cruise faster and it gets hot

    @turboTacoMonkey Did you play at the Ice Den off Bell rd, in my few times recreationally skating (more like falling) as a kid that’s where we’d always go

    I mean I can go from Chandler to Mesa to Tempe to Scottsdale in a total of like 6 minutes lol
    But yeah Tempe is definitely better than Snobbsdale, especially if you’re not a millionaire

    lol. I'll try. Most of my trips to AZ have been short and focused on something else...

    Hockey in Scottsdale.

    Bought my Miata from Ebay and picked it up in Pheonix? It was a day trip; suuuuuuucked bawls -- great price for some good parts on an easy car someone couldn't make run. lulz.
