Winter Tires, Snowboard, and Interior Space

Hello all, I just ordered some winter tires from the tire rack (I know I am a little late, but I didn't think we were going to drive Lewis into the mountains in the Winter, but with my wife's ski-coaching job I have those "widower days" where we can use a second winterworthy car). Although I am not affiliated with the tire rack I thought I'd tell everyone that they have some killer closeout deals on bridgestone blizzaks ... Now for a question. How long a snowboard will I be able to fit inside th… Continue

MDC's new trip computer ...

... is this the coolest thing, or what? Not cheap (!), but after ogling the scangauge for a while and not really seeing any clean/uncompromising install option this may be it ...

Just waiting until someone tries it out and they post English/installation instructions.

Disclaimer: I have NO financial stake or interested in MDC (or in fact any affiliation whatsoever).

Hi Tobias, Larry Miller here. Have you heard anthing about how things are going at Smart Center Denver? I have been reading some grim stats on how the sales of smart fortwo have fallen 80+% and in Jan only 247 or so were sold in the US!!!! There have been at least 2 centers that have closed--in PA and CA. It would not be good if one had to drive to Albuquerque for an oil change!! Just wondering if you have heard anything?

Hi Toes,

I think I may be a little confused. Has the Denver group planned an event for tomorrow (11/8) as a gathering and eating thing? If not, then I guess I have by accident by tagging on to an old post from months ago. Several people have indicated that they are attending, so, one way or the other, I guess we will have a Smartin starting at the Denver Smart Center at 11am. Dan Hall

Hi Tobias
Thank you for the words about the funnel--and for giving it to me. It had me worried that I had assummed too much?

Hi Tobias

I didn't put on a hitch... I found a great storage bin to put in the back to prevent stuff from rolling back behind the seats.

Hi again Tobias,
I would stll like to contact you about the funnel--I believe I assumed in error that I was to keep it? Also, I was not thinking real fast and found I have one here--not as long a neck, but it will still work. So I would like to find out how I can return the one I 'took'? Also, I just added a 17 photo album to my page of photos of the trip down to Bishop Castle that you can view if you desire. Larry

Hi Tobias,
We had a fun time today driving to Bishop's Castle. I would like to talk to you about the funnel when we met at the smart center. I was not thinking real clear then. So let me know how I can contact you
about it. An email address to use is lrmincolo@gmail.com Thanks,
Larry Miller

Hi Toes,

The place we have used in the past is right off I-25 and easy to both get to and back onto the I.

Take exit 149 (Woodman) from South I-25. Turn right onto Woodman heading toward the mountains. Immediately get in the left lane to turn left at the next light turnig onto Corporate Dr. Take the next right turn onto Mark Dabling Blvd and another right turn into the Park n Ride parking lot.

See ya shortly,
Dan Hall

Hi Toes,
Is the group from Denver going to stop at the Wookman Park and Ride on its way to the castle like last time? When will you leave Denver and anticipate being in CS?
See ya this Sat,
Dan Hall
