If I didn’t already have a rear aux tank.
For the mere price of two fills at the Gas Station.
What I like about 36 gallons of fuel capacity is being able to avoid long weekend special pricing. Or being able to fill up when the price is low in Mill Bay and not having to fill again till the next time I see a better price… sometimes months later. I didn’t have to fill up between Feb 2020 and January 2022… although seeing today’s prices I should have.
36 gal is less than what mine is by a bit. But it allows me to fill here, drive to PG without hitting the expensive
midtown stops. With an extra 20 litres can go clear to Ft St John from here. Yup, big tanks are

Ready for El Nino to come back. And meanwhile, here's how I feel about La Nina after three years of it:
Yep, the drive in to work tonight was a treat. Amazing the difference between the red rooster south where duncan/cowichan look after the roads, and red rooster north up to the airport where apparently no one does. 
Like driving on a lumpy ass logging road except slippery as ****. Can't really speed up because you're bouncing and slewing around constantly.
I got stuck behind a Tesla for a long stretch. Finally in chemainus I had my chance to pass the virtue signaling ****, and soon as I did, I realized the only reason I could see where I was going is because I was using his headlights .
Mine had 6" of snow on them, I could only see about 4 feet in front of the bumper
So that was fun.

Teala was probably going so slow because they couldn’t see either with all the snow piling up on the windshield because they couldn’t afford the extra battery drain to turn on the cabin heater.
Thought those ritzy 61’s had silly little head light wipers, hah! just kidding I know they didn’t work and also you upgraded to round H4’s. Surprised they weren’t burning threw the slush mine seem to do alright on those coquihalla white outs.

Haha, yeah I figured he was probably stressing about batteries...and probably had summer tires. Cedar tire had idiots lined up for half a click in both directions this morning. Winter. Always so unexpected.
Really the slow speed was because the road was unplowed, frozen and lumpy as ****. Truck was bouncing around like crazy, usually there's a stream of dodge driving dbags blasting past me, but even they were staying in the slow lane. Must've been fun in the overpriced go kart.
Usually my lights do melt it off, but that was some heavy wet snow for a bit there.
Truck had headlight squirters when I got it but the squirter motor kept sticking on and I unplugged it years before I ditched the rectangular bulbs.
It's gotten a lot less ritzy since I've owned it.
Well, I’d have figured with 700 lbs of concrete in the back of the Tundra it would have helped. But the snowflake on my Cooper ATS is purely for show! But it is fun to get’er going sideways at a 45 degree angle down the highway at 80K, no one tailgates after that!! Actually I had a blast today driving around in this crap. It’s all gonna melt by morning anyways on the roads.

Heh, my truck has head light squirters. When I first bought it, I filled the reservoir and tried them. Something was wrong and they just constantly dribbled even with the switch off. Looked like the truck was crying until the reservoir emptied, haha. Yanked the reservoir/pump after that and gave up. Space was handy for other stuff.
My LED headlights sure suck for snow as there isn't enough heat to melt it away. I guess new cars don't have a problem with that as they're aerodynamic and it doesn't collect.... Not so much the square lights of my cruiser. I keep my old halogens in reserve for this reason.

Victoria Downtown. Sadly this is true:
Drove through downtown for the first time in a long time last week, on my way to Oak Bay to go skating with my boy and couldn't believe the amount of empty store fronts.
Three years of everyone hiding indoors and buying s*** online hasn't helped either.
Amazon is evil as ****, but when my choices are wasting half a day driving around nanaimo dealing with idiots, or a make a couple clicks while taking a dump... it's kindof a no brainer.

I work downtown daily, you eventually get numb and used to the horrors, learn how to blend in. I eat less now during the day in case of a stabbing, less intestinal spillage, more survivable.
That's not something I've ever been concerned about... being 6'4" and 275 lbs has one advantage. I've was once accused of being a Gorilla... but that's a story for a different venue.
Stabber has a more of a target?
Working in a hospital has me to the point I'd probably step over a stabbing victim and not notice.
Read this weird book a while back. Two cities existed in the same place, if you were in one of the cities, you couldn't "see" people in the other city or you'd get a visit from the police, even though the other city was all around you. Had to actually go to a specific place like a border crossing to get into the other city, and then you had to "unsee" the people you know because you weren't there...you were now in the OTHER city. Was a cop story, investigating a murder and he kept having to go back and forth between the cities. Think he even found a third city nobody knew about.
Was kindof messed up. Never really sure if there were actually two cities or not.
Or even if it was a good book, or just a confusing concept the author used as an exercise. Traffic on the roads got pretty confusing. Hell, the whole book was.
Think it was called "The city and the city" China Mieville or something like that.
Always reminded of that book when I'm upstairs in the hospital or downtown somewhere.

You're on a roll this morning! Still splitting my guts laughing about your scammer post, and now I read this. Keep it coming! (or get some sleep), lol.

Speaking of dystopian hell, read this the other day but it wasn’t a book..
China is pushing people onto their new digital Yuan currency.
"Digital currencies can also be tailored to specific purposes. For example, in the Chinese Yuan pilot program, money has an expiration date of a few weeks because authorities are hoping to drive consumption in an economy trying to recover from the pandemic."
And other countries are watching closely.
"Earlier this month India’s central bank said it would begin rolling out a digital version of the rupee. Brazil planned to launch a digital real this year but has pushed back its rollout to 2024. The European Central Bank is studying whether to roll out a digital euro, and US president Biden and some members of Congress have called for research into developing a digital version of the dollar."
