    Breadbox you and your family are tough. The only times we camped in snow was in regular RV's and then we froze.

    Been driving alot. Bought mine in Nov 2011, put over 6K miles on. 2 - 1100 mile trips to Pontiac events in OH were the big ones. My GTO has been sitting and is going on consignment end of this week. I believe I will look for another big Pontiac

    Not so much: around 11.000 km's since september 2011.
    We do have 3 cars in the family for only 2 people with a license. A 2005 Mini Cooper Cabrio, a 2014 Peugeot 2008 (that's not a year, it's a type. Google it :) ) and of course the LTD. Here they are:

    The white one I use for work. I sell DAF trucks (yes I know, it's a PACCAR company from the USA.....). I sell the green ones, but you can choose any color:
    [​IMG]
    I like to use the LTD mostly on "longer distances". Which aren't so long compared
    to the distances in large countries. Last weekend we visited a carshow in Westerlo, Belgium. It's about 110 miles from where I live. So: I don't use it very much.....

    I still haven't driven the Mercury 1,000 miles since I got it August 13th 2014. With that being said, I do have that TV Cable Grommet to replace for assurance that the transmission won't die on me.

    I just got my 67 Falcon Futura running, but I plan to use it as much as I can. Not for business or work , but I do plan on a trip to Southern California later this summer making a few stops at Sequoia National Forest as well as Yosemite. That's going to be a 2800 mile run round trip. I'm going to sleep in the back just like I did when I was a kid. I'll leave the two back windows cracked with a sleeping bag and a battery lamp. My mother would be proud.

    Mine has become the daily driver since the truck blew a heater core, the Caprice blew an engine bearingn and the other Caprice hasn't passed the safety yet to be insured. :(
    Used it to drive Norm out to pick up has fancy-pants newly rebuilt Dana with trac-loc.

    Getting to the core of it.

    Heater cores ain't made like they used to be. My 2004 Dodge truck blew one a year ago back in Illinois and blew another lately.
    Sadly somehow the AC and heater work together so using the AC with heater bypassed turns the truck into a freezer.

    The really nice part of it is Chrysler designed heater cores so the truck has to be dismantled down to the bare frame to replace it.... Almost!:slap:
