I checked out of the forum for a bit. I hit ice and totalled my SUV. My only injury was to my pride as this was my first accident in over 25 years.
Last week, I purchased a used SUV. The winter is rough here and you need a rugged vehicle, so I purchased a classic Range Rover. The first few days of this challenge was prepping the Rover.
Feb 1. Bought Range Rover (2001 with 122k miles but nicely maintained),
Feb 2. Took Rover in for service. Mechanic went over vehicle. Only a few very minor things needed (oil change, etc).
Feb 3. Put all my prep gear (winter, basic survival including maps etc) in Rover.
Feb 4. Read through last few days of posts that I missed. I had to catch up on the escapades of @oldmtwoman, @muffy1938, and others.
