The Lair

Speaking of STI, I think the syphillis went to his brain and that's how we're getting all these entertaining posts!

 

Hey gang. Any idea what this might be? It was in the glove box of my Tundra...

 

I'll take a stab. Either some kind of ignition kill device installed at a dealership or something to do with key security at the dealer.

 

I wondered if that might be what it is. Some type of key keeper/tracking system for the dealership and the tech who was detailing it and prepping it for delivery threw it in the glove box and forgot about it.

 

Yeah. I've seen places that have these big cabinets that are all computerized for key control.

 

If the taco was named Norris, what did you name Tundra? Van Damme?

 

The Tundie is known in our household as "Shadow". My kiddos are huge Sonic the Hedgehog fans and we purchased the Tundra shortly after watching Sonic 2, and they learned of "Project Shadow".

 

Shadow sounds menacing. I like it.

Whatever happened to the SxS?

 

Only thread update I’ve got since the truck has sat for a month is that the battery is dead dead. Hooked up a trickle charger because I figured it was low but wasn’t expecting it to be this low. Probably a small parasitic draw of some sort, or maybe it’s the 10° nights we’ve been having, or maybe that the battery isn’t a spring chicken anymore and is 4 years old now.

 

Still parked in the garage. Haven't sold it.

 

Same issue I have right now, not really holding a charge. I think that artic blast may have killed it.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised because it was COLD. Saturday morning it was 11°, feels like -1°. No pipes froze in the house though so that’s good.

 

It was 9 Saturday and the power company thought it was a good idea to do rolling blackouts due to the strain on the system.

Luckily i didn't get hit with the power loss but I don't think my heat pump cut off for 4 straight days...lol


Then it was 62 today, go figure.

 

Does that oil filter really say 8/12/21 on it?

 

You don’t hold a charge either & we still keep you around.

 

It does, I’ve driven less than 5k miles since then so my maintenance reminder light hasn’t triggered. First time I’m due for a change because of age vs miles driven.

 

Is this some sort of fancy BMW like @Slow Internet ’s that only requires yearly or every 10k mile oil changes?

 

You are my charge.... and I always deny all charges.

 

The dentside Ford looking sexy as always.

 

You waiting for the reminder light to be triggered has me triggered.

<3 no offense

I accept your apology in advance
