Looks small for the temp you get. What's the BTU's.

I would think you would need at least 300,00 BTU! what with snow and all. But living in Florida maybe l mis-judge, you think. Oh, l forgot, going to car show tomorrow, if weather is good 500 to 600 cars.

I don't think there's any heated ceramic that radiates, Rick - just the heat from propane burning. Reading the reviews, it seems very safe - no CO, just CO2, which we breathe every day.

Hey, I don't need palm trees growing in my garage, Dick! And what's the idea, of sending me this...

Dan - Thanks for sending the link about your new heater. It looks like a 4 footer to me, never get more than 4 feet away from it so as to maximize it's warming effects.
Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted in this thread... In keeping with the illusion of progress, I bought Coker tires today :D Saw them on Amazon, can't beat free shipping. The best motivation I can think of for getting out in the garage is running out of space to put stuff! But soon, I'll be done with the "Honey Do" kitchen and it will be out to the garage for me. The weather has been unseasonably mild, almost as warm as Dick Koch's back porch.

I like the classic look of these whitewall tires and they are radials so they have a much better ride.

Good deal with Amazon.... I wonder if you had bought them from Coker directly or from Jegs or Tire Rack, would you have had to pay for shipping?

That's a good question - I'm not sure. Jim Benjaminson advertises a discount in the Plymouth Owners Club Bulletin - when I recently asked, I received this reply:
Goodyear 205/75R14 currently retails for $285 per tire. Your price $260 each. Shipping $100.
That's $1140 for Goodyears, I paid about $200 less (with taxes included).

I went for the Diamondbacks a couple years ago. The coker/bg goodrich (same tire) was on it before and 2 of them almost blew while driving. Hope you guys have better luck with them!

That might work :mrgreen: they should last longer then.

If you put the car in storage. Move it every now and then. I guess that's why mine went

Can't get out of the kitchen. Tile backsplash, quarter-round, new appliances, touch-up paint, etc., etc...

Honey-Do. (*sigh*...)

But it has its benefits, if you know what I mean :o :twisted:

Ah, the illusion of progress...
