I understand. Those reasons (among others) were also on my list of reasons why I didn't take my Turbo to work.

Swing by and pick up my Work wheels so you can deliver them to @sdematt
Right on @sdematt , I didn't know you bought a new set of wheels!

I am taking a truck and will have lots of room....

I intentionally have 2 parking spots for that very reason.

I'm hoping to peer pressure him into spending money since the free delivery option is currently available.

All this pressure!

I'm moving in a few months, and I'm already bringing 5 or 6 sets of extra wheels to my new place that has a tiny 20x20 garage...so I don't think there'll be room for another....


Sorry @Capt. Obvious !

OK, happy I didn't bring the Turbo, I5 is as horrible as ever, especially through Seattle... interestingly, Everett was pretty smooth sailing.

American Dino Juice is better than Canadian Vintage.

Although I am thoroughly enjoying my trip to America, I am missing driving the turbo(s).

Cool! Though I didn't realize Canada ceded from our continent?

As far as I'm aware it has not, however, our American agent in Washington state advised against bringing any turbo to Tacoma... apparently, six blocks to my north, the crime rate on the hill is similar to that of Chicago, making for an unsafe space for any given turbo. I was in fact surprised to hear this.

It makes me miss turbo(s).
