Love that color.

Good job.

So little - snack here, pets and scruffles there. Miss Rosie is as cold-natured as I. Winters in Florida can be brutal. :rolleyes: We can tell when she's cold, she gets this "poor miserable me" look. Drop a blanket or towel over her and we get one long dog-sigh and she fades right away.

Handsome rascal.

Here, we have both. Seven cats & five dogs, plus an assortment of raccoons, possums, turkeys, deer, hawks & armadillos. The count has been as high as 25 of the more conventional varmint population.

GPS is accurate to 10', the gadget checks in several times per minute. Why would I suspect it to be less accurate than the car? 2,600 miles of interstate qualifies as straight and level and good satellite coverage.

I use my Garmin to test the odometer and speedometer.

I hear ya, but I sure like 'em. My Mustang has the ultimate sun roof. :cool:

I'm not so sure - their food and housing are covered, free health care, no requirement to work. Sounds like a sweet deal. But wait ... oh, yeah - THEY DESERVE IT.

The readout is as much as 15% optimistic. I've determined what my odometer error is and I compensate when entering the data in Fuelly. I've dialed back the readout to be more accurate. If you really care, fill it, drive it, fill it and do the math. A radical change in mileage can indicate...

Here's Rocky. Shelter pic: Three weeks later: I wanted a brindle pittie. Got the brindle, but he's nearly 3' at the shoulder, 87#. Gotta be some Great Dane in there somewhere. He's an amiable, gentle giant.

My Hemi Ram:

This one, too:

This and the last two were at the Spanish Fort, Florida Car Show April, 2011:

I think I might like the '58 over the '57:

Pretty pups. We had a couple of Calico fuzzy-butts - Betty & Wilma.
