Stop in for a cup of coffee

Dang, it seems 14 inch BBP steel wheels are getting to be very hard to find. None of my local yards have any and I stopped and asked a tire shop, nothing.

I want to get the rally wheels off and get it on some Steelies for the wheel covers but not so easy so far

Long day at work today, 9 hrs of back-to-back meetings with a 90 min commute on each end. I really hate this time of year in this business.

When I left the house at 7 am, I turned on the heater in the garage at the low 600w setting hoping it would at least keep the edge off of the cold for when I got home. It was 33* overnight and only got to 41* outside today with west winds at 15-20 mph and gust to 30 mph straight on the garage door. And it’s at 36* outside now with the wind still blowing.

I was quite surprised when I walked into the garage a little bit ago after getting home and found this. I guess the new insulation tweaks are working.

68* that is freezing. I keep my house at 75 or 76 because I am always cold. Even at 76 I have dress warm around the house.

Wont they snap onto the rally wheels? Asking for a friend...
 
Ok, I think I need someone's input here. My Dart has the regular transmission all of them had. And, when I have tried to drive and put it either in drive or reverse, sort of nothing can be felt. And then it needs quite a bit of engine speed to go, but then shift and works very fine. The day I was at the gas station filling up the fuel tank and came home I checked the transmission fluid level. In park it was like 1/8 of an inch below the lowest mark on the dipstick. It said add one pint, and I now realize that I am still not 100 percent with American measureme ts, so I ended up filling a whole liter, or a quart to be more precise.

Now when I shift I can feel it engage, more.like a Ford.

Have I done.something unforgivable, or how is it supposed to feel ?

I have two up here.
 
Oh boy, I am stuffed again. Norwegian cabbage rolls and tators, also the Norwegian way. Oh man, I have no clue how to cook American food. Zilch.
