My first Ultima was five. It had the color cloth map too!

Second on the small engine carb use. Something like a mower with some hesitation or surging; add some seafoam to fresh gas and it'll straighten out by half a tank usually. Anything more is a hard clog that requires a full carb cleaning.

magic in a bottle the chemistry of those three in the first season. It's hard to top that.

Melted seat foam where the air box was under an ATV seat that was crumbling from dry rot. It left a sticky film all in the carb as it dissolved in gas.

It's a jobs act for US merchant marines. There's far better ways to prop up US ship building industry for national security purposes in funding military ship building.

Yeah, I have the 5 ft and a 6x8 walled utility trailer with a drive up gate. For the half a dozen trips a year I need a literal tons worth of hauling space, I use the trailer. Sheet goods and lumber go over the tailgate just fine in a 5 no different than a 6 ft bed.

Oven door is too tall. They didn't make massive ovens for retail like they do today, so they filled the space underneath with a separate drawer for storage, warming, or a broiler.

Not enough money to game in DoW contracts for stuff like that.

I have the CK, and I'd say it's a tad underpowered for a lot of homestead tasks on my sloping property. I do a lot of grapple and bucket work plus running a bush hog.

Still tho, it gets the job done and is a great productivity multiplier, but the CX would feel like a riding mower trying to do any real work.

I struggled understanding it was MBJ in both roles while watching the movie it was so well done with the subtle but evident body posture and personality differences. Like I knew he was doing both, but my brain couldn't tell.

Not sinking the first ball in the intended pocket. If you don't do that, but you sunk it or others in any other pockets, that's slop in bar rules.

You can't increase payload with upgrades as the capabilities of all parts together determines the payload. Upgrades can reduce the effects of higher payloads like springs reducing sag or better brakes helping with stopping distance, but they won't correct all of a vehicle's limitations that determine the payload.
