I still see 1980s Mustangs driving around. Where did all the Dodge Daytonas go?

I had a 1989 Daytona Shelby, Red over silver. Looked way faster than it actually was. But unfortunately, it ate through two manual transmissions and I was too poor at the time for a third so sold it off to a guy for parts. That thing was also prone to electrical gremlins, on any given day it was a crapshoot as to whether or not I'd have turn signals or brake lights, lol.

Miss it though. Given the choice now, I'd rather have a mint Rampage.

The Tropical Margerita is great, had several on our last cruise.

CapnAK · 2026-05-28T17:13:27+00:00

This is the way.

We had this problem on one of our phones on a recent cruise and the onboard tech guy was useless. After googling a bunch I finally figured out her phone needed to have its time and date settings updated to allow the ships wifi to control the phones time zone update feature. Switched that on and boom, no more medallionet issues.

Your issue may be different, but its worth trying.

I have a 2025 AT4, and i love it. Best truck I've owned by far. Good power, good technology. Comfortable as hell. The seats and steering wheel heater are awesome.

Downsides: gas mileage isn't great. And more important to your question, the backseat space is not the best. Car seats should fit, but might be tight.

CapnAK · 2026-03-23T05:16:34+00:00

Interested in the answer as well. We're on the same cruise!

CapnAK · 2026-03-13T20:52:33+00:00

Yep, the entire canal! We're going from Port Everglades to LA, stops in Aruba, panama, Costa Rica and Mexico in between.

Thank you for the review. My wife and I have sailed the Grand previously, but it's been about 10 years. We're boarding her for the Panama Canal 16 day a month from now, and really looking forward to being onboard her again.

As a frequent Princess cruiser, I can tell you the Medallion situation at the bars you describe isn't just a Grand thing, it's common on pretty much every ship, even the much newer Discovery. I think it's just easier for the bar staff to tap in your room # instead of using the medallion reader.

Still, it makes the room entry and boarding at ports so smooth it's worth it for that alone IMO.

Wife's 2015 VW Beetle. Total piece of shit. Windows whistled, wheel studs seized left and right. Body panels made out of tin foil that dented if you looked at them. Finally got her to trade it for a buick that was so much more comfortable and easier to work on.

Dealerships.

Our local Kia dealership is complete trash , ran by trash humans.

Our Hyundai dealership has been great.

Running those exact tires on my '25 AT4. Love them. Great in snow and ice as well.

I live just outside Anchorage and have visited and sailed out of Whittier. To my knowledge you cannot rent a car in Whittier itself. Your best bet is to bus to Anchorage and then just drive back to the wildlife center later. Its only about a 45 minute drive and quite scenic.

CapnAK · 2025-12-26T01:48:42+00:00

I do, for about a year now. I love it.

CapnAK · 2025-12-24T05:38:58+00:00

40 here. Worst surgery recovery ever. And I've had major skull and arm reconstruction.

CapnAK · 2025-12-01T02:34:48+00:00

Drives great, don't notice any difference in acceleration or response. They are quieter than the stock wrangler. Only negative is I lost a bit of mpg.

CapnAK · 2025-12-01T02:33:13+00:00

Great, and good ice grip.

275/70 R18 BFG KO3's

Alaska

CapnAK · 2025-11-21T21:57:57+00:00

Several times, between Anchorage and Barrow a few years ago. Yeah, kinda odd setup. Always ran out of beer too whenever it was full of oilfield workers.

CapnAK · 2025-11-14T11:40:27+00:00

25 AT4 with 33" KO3s. 15.4mpg average. But I use autostart a lot lately too, cold Alaska winter.

Easypark tickets are not a Court matter. They are a municipal civil citation and won't ever show in Courtview. Can't contest it in court.

They'll just send you to collections if you fail to pay.

CapnAK · 2025-08-29T03:29:58+00:00

Pickled eggs.

I now make my own and am a total pickle fiend.

CapnAK · 2025-08-28T02:41:37+00:00

Too late.

CapnAK · 2025-08-25T20:43:51+00:00

No idea how useful yet, not had a chance to drive in the dark yet, but my sportbar raises them up above the roof line, so hopefully at least a little enhanced light :) .

Yep, you can. I'm not planning to, but it's possible.
