AK, I didn't go... when I found out there was not going to be a new Bronco, I decided not to make the trip to SLC.

Thanks. It's hard to google these questions. I'm guessing that it was stuck down from years of disuse.

I'm sure you've seen most of the areas cars anyways at least once, so I guess I can understand the let down when no new Bronco.

I've got to set up an appointment for an airbag swap on the Edge. The notice says I'll get a loaner while they have the Edge. They listed some loaners including a Ranger but is there any chance they might have a Shelby GT500 for me to borrow? AK?

Whitey....did you go to that car show today? If so, Pics? In snowy and colorless here today, so some bright colored cars would be nice, lol.
Yeah it doesn't smell too great. I try not to open the door to the garage too much right now cz it's right off our kitchen/dining room lol

If I think I'm looking at what you're seeing it's just some pieces of grime and/or bits of the seal when I took the lid off. My catch container has been sitting out with all my cleaning so it got pretty dirty. Only thing that came out of the carrier was smooth oil.

It does stink, but it's WAAAAAY worse after it has boiled. Dead serious, my neighbor called the gas company because they thought there was a natural gas leak. She could smell it in her house next door.... probably 40 feet away from where I was and a house in between us.

My bad... I should explained deeper. That one was the Auto Expo that I marked as "interested". It's all new cars. My thoughts on that are.... I'm not going to pay to see something you're trying to sell me. But I'd go to see the new Bronco.

Autorama is old cars. That is one I will go to, if I am in town. We are in the process of making plans for a trip right now, which will be right in that time frame.

This is a link to the other one: https://autorama.com/attend/salt-lake-city/

EDIT: I just noticed that there are no celebrity appearances listed yet. Wonder who is coming? When I was a wee lad in about 1980, I remember going and seeing Sorrell Booke (Boss Hogg) and James Best (Roscoe P. Coltrane). I remember standing in the line and being scared of them because they were always trying to get Bo and Luke in trouble, LOL. But when we got up there, they were the kindest, gentlest guys. I still have Sorrel's autographed picture somewhere in a box.

EDIT 2: LOL, this is the exact same thing that I have, but it is to me and my Brother.

Red got his first test today. A guy in a Ram 1500 slid off the roadway in front of me thanks to an idiot pulling out on him. He was just spinning the right rear and left front. Great 4x4, lol. Anyways, I hooked him with my ****** strap and he came right out.. Red with the all terrains pulled him out without slipping. I thought for sure I was just going to sit there and spin. It's ice on the roads with fresh snow on top. Sometimes you get surprises. Today was one.
