LR4 Mileage Poll

[Fuji4]

Yeah boston driving sucks. I lived in brookline where pedestrians would regularly March out in front of oncoming traffic (nowhere near a crosswalk) and just expect it to stop. And I honked at a middle aged woman once who totally cut me off nearly causing an accident. She became enraged and pulled up next to me and cursed at me for a whole light. She apparently didn’t like being honked at for doing something dangerous. Typical in my experience.

I hate that so much. Drivers here do suck. Too few who drive spiritedly but respectfully. Fast drivers here are just lunatics or clueless.

But I have to say, Montreal drivers are worse.

Sounds like you should be good for a while. Maybe LCA's could come due, but other than that, that's about all that goes wrong with it.

*knocks on wood* yea, i think ive crossed off all the boxes for typical failures.

Somehow I suspect that driving in Alberta and driving in the Boston area are two very different experiences. Do streets in Alberta actually have street signs? Ours don't. Do Alberta drivers ever use turn signals on the highway? (Nobody uses their "blinkah" here) How about being allowed to drive in the breakdown lane? Constant tailgating at 70 mph? Every mom in an SUV holding a cell phone like a slice of pizza? Overall aggressive, competitive driving for some unknown reason?

LOL! I learned this firsthand when I'd visit my son at Northeastern University. Not only all the above, but the pedestrians all seem to have a deathwish as well. I was on a fairly busy street in the Mission Hill area, tooling along with traffic. A lady WITH A BABY STROLLER stepped out into traffic from between two parked cars right in front of me. Totally oblivious to me as I made a panic stop. (edit: @Fuji4 I just read your similar experience; you know what I'm talking about.)

I enjoyed spirited driving as much as the next guy but these people are in another league.

Nah the compressor will soon crap the bed, maybe a leaking valve block. It never "ends". lol

Other than the wallet-punch, though, the compressor is probably number 1 on the "jobs that sound difficult, but are actually pretty easy" list.

This is particularly true if you are NOT changing brands, i.e. Hitachi to AMK. I replaced my old Hitachi with a new Hitachi after several failed attempts at repairing the old one. After a half-dozen R&R's, think I had it down to like 20 minutes? Goes faster when everything is already clean and fasteners aren't frozed.
