Some people aren't helpless when the temp drops below 50.

I don't mind cold weather, but there are limits for everyone. I liked Toronto, but Montreal's winters were too much for me. Not sure where exactly Maine falls on the spectrum, but I picture it more like Montreal.

The coast is moderated by the gulf stream. The mountains are cold as fuck. :lol:

When I moved south for the second time, I recall thinking I didn't want to work on rusty cars, and I was sick of shoveling snow. It wasn't the cold, itself.

But I work on rust, anyway. These auction guys buy cars from up north with rotted out everything, paint the undercarriage black, and resell them here.

Defortunately, I may have to get Dakota to pass a Maine state inspection next year. So, fixing the Evap leak and the frame notches will have to be moved up.
I also might want to keep fuel pump up ahead of turbo!!!, unless I only plan to run 2 psi of boost. Hey every little bit helps!
I repaired the harness on the crank sensor, and I swear it gained 15 horsepowers.

I believe you. The only mechanical thing my Z3 got replaced when I bought it was a new crank sensor and it felt so much better afterwards.

Apparently, 2018 Fiestas are still being sold new, with yooge discounts.
Therefore, I stand no chance of selling mine.
Will register it in Maine.

I've been running the Focus on E85 exclusively. 4000 miles since oil change and the oil is still light brown.
Less carbon in alcohol, I guess.

Dakota will run on any combustible liquid, I assume. Tractor engine ftw.
