The 2024 First Edition wheels are going away for the 2025 model year according to one of the inmates here. So they will be ‘unobtanium’ when the patch job fails prematurely.
Miss Daisy squeals like a stuck pig, any time of the day, morning, afternoon, or evening, that I drive her, rain or shine. It is getting worse by the day.
I think there is a way to download the route on our iPhones when we know ahead of time that we will lose cell service due to the area that we will be traveling will be short on cell coverage. I just don’t know how to do that.. yet.
