Ut OH... driving the SRT thru the MUD!!!
Well as you get older; your memory IS the first thing you loose. And being disabled and not working I never know what day of the week it is or the day of the month.
With that said; I did NOT realize my Mag SRT inspection and license plate tags expired the end of June. Whoops, it IS JULY ~ Where did June go????
My plan was to run it over and get it inspected first thing this morning and then go get the tags.... since all this is now in the computer, you can't get your tags until the car has been inspected. And Yesterday we had a huge storm; High winds and heavy rain..... YUP our dirt road is a MUD PIT. I'm NOT wanting to drive the SRT thru all of this.... but may have to bite the bullet and do it; then detail the heck out of it when I get Home. Guess with SIX magnums; it's hard to keep everything Straight.....~LOL~
* My SRT has ONLY been caught in the rain ONCE since I've owned it

Jim,
Being retired time has a way of slipping by un-noticed. But yoiu are forgetting how this works. It doesn't have to be done today, or for that matter of fact nor tomorrow. I would simply say "do it when the road is dry". i have asimilar problem with my bikes. Good luck brother..

that sucks. I'm glad I only have 1 vehicle. Easy to remember when the DMV mails me a reminder in advance.

So.... I went out to take a look see..... and guess WHAT? We had a lotta heavy rain BUT... extremely high winds and the road wasn't muddy; I was absolutely shocked!!! Still some water in the holes so I "zig~zagged" around them all and the only thing that was dirty was the edges of the tires.... NOW, I went so slow getting outta here though ~ LOL~ At least it IS now inspected and just gotta go put the little sticker on.
OH..... and since I have been driving my every day driver BLUE (one of the R/Ts) and occasionally LUCKY (another R/T) predominately for the last month or so.......... Holy COW.... I forgot HOW MUCH POWER my SRT has, especially after finally getting the Predator hooked up ~ Geesh WHOLE DIFFERENT CAR!!!
