I can understand that mentality

It's fun when you're young and virile. It gets old real quick once you get old

Put the battery charger on the car. Just sitting around is not good for it.

Brake bleeding went well the second round. It was nice to be able to see the air bubbles. Test drive felt acceptable; the slightly off braking feel is likely attributed to brand new rotors and pads because the pedal pressure feels great

I'm late to the party but huge thanks to James for the help on my car. He's the man. Hopefully now that I know how things work, I can spare his back and his knuckles the next time around.

Great to meet God-Speed as well, thanks for stopping by my man!

Good morning all!

Want for people to show up at the house. They want to look at the motorhome. They want to rent it later this month.
