Hi Mark,

I think I should try being you again, my wife and I sound like the the old Jerry Stiller and Mira routine most of the time.

Fram has gotten on the band wagon of up selling the consumer and now offers all sorts of purportedly Premium filters, not sure that was the case 17 years ago. I think it is more hype than fact.

Fram Extra,Tough, Ultra, and Racing Guard Filters.All step up priced.

Hi Murf,

If you are approaching the Broadway VOR BWZ send me a text and I am on the next ridgeline across the valley 5 miles south east.

Watch out for the commercial jets because they use this route to land in Newark and fly pretty low on occasion.

Plus in summer Trump is at Bedminister so Fighter Jets patrol the no fly zone which I am on the north western border.

My decades of lawn neglect have finally come to their final demise.<br>
<br>
Now even my weeds have been unable to sustain life and their roots have rotted out leaving me with significant erosion issues this winter.<br>
<br>
I guess I will need to get an early start in the spring to try to stop the loss of soil.

It would pretty cool if the Woods Backhoe that could fit the smaller B series could also fit the the large L. A B sized how on a bigger L might be fine without the subframe, probably too good to be true :-)

My chocolate lab when he was a couple months old, 3.5 years ago, he was a ball full of energy then and has not slowed down very much since. Only coming to a full stop around 9:30 PM when his batteries fully drain, and it takes extreme enticement to get him out for his last walk of the day.

We have had a few blips while the crews make progress in other sections. The response of Repair crews from out of state and other unaffected areas has been phenomenal. They have been working around the clock to restore power, and are still at it now.

1)Handling On Road -- I always drive significantly faster in the RAV 4 than the Crosstrek on the highway and country roads even though I prefer the better visibility in the Crosstrek. And the weird thing is I do not notice I am going 50 where I would only drive 40 in the Crosstrek.<br>
<br>
2) Ride Height--The Impreza is low to the ground I still find it an enigma that I hate the look of the Impreza but love exactly the same car that is lifted! Having a little more height is good on a side impact accident :-(<br>
<br>
3) Weight -- the added weight in the Hood , Doors and Trunk lid is impressive on The RAV 4. While the Impreza has great crash tests, in an accident between the Impreza and the Rav4 the Rav will be victorious by a wide margin.<br>
<br>
4)I would only by the Impreza if I had another car like the CRV or RAV in my car inventory.<br>
<br>
5) Transmission -- The Crosstek has a CVT and if the 15 is like the 14 it is a no joy rubber band acceleration on hills. I have paddle shifters which you could use to offset the CVT, but the gearing is so economy mode there is little love in the shifters and I only use for hill descent. The RAV has conventional auto and is awesome by comparison.<br>
<br>
6) Engines if you want to pound on the peddle to pass or climb high elevations, the RAV is a Rocket and the Impreza ia a snail. The snail will get the job done nonetheless.<br>
<br>
<br>
One of my main reasons for buying the Crosstrek was that I have two kids in College and I wanted to buy an AWD SUV with Leather interior for the least amount of dollars, at the time about $5000 less than the CRV EXL. And it was to be rarely used supplement to my RAV and CRV.<br>
<br>
<br>
The choice is still a headache.<br>
<br>
<br>
On the Rav you will absolutely hate the choice if you change your own oil, with the god awful EPA oriented reusable cartridge that spills oil all over you from under the car every time regardless how careful you are.<br>
<br>
<br>
You will also hate the RAV 4 Munchkin size clock on the dash and the stupid small outside temperature display by the odometer. You will long for the High Mount Subaru center dash display, in 2018 most manufacturers other than Subaru have ditched, in 2018 the Crosstrek Center Dash is even better, I like it so much it is one of the reasons I would consider the 2018 Crosstrek.<br>
<br>
<br>
You will also long for the nicely raked windsheild on the Crosstrek with outstanding visibility to the right and left. The windshield pillars on the RAV have blocked my vision for a couple of close calls....<br>
<br>
<br>
Not sure I have helped... Good luck<br>

It seems like only a blink ago that I built this forum in 1998....Winters seem to come and go so fast now that it is hard to dread them enough to head to warmer climates ;-)<br>
<br>
1998 was the early days of the internet... and for some I think it was a peak time for Baby Boomers to buy properties that fulfilled a dream and that required the purchase of Compact Tractors.<br>
<br>
Murf you probably remember many of the prolific posters like Roger Loving from the early days of the CTB (Compact Tractor Forum) now Tractorpoint. There have been so many members that have shared their expertise over the years and especially you Murf and the many others like Art White, Ken Schumm, TomG, Ken Thompson, DRankin, Chief, Earthwrks, Hardwood, Peters, Auerbach, Candoarms, Greg_g , Harvey, Oneace , Yooperpete, Beagle, Cutter, Brokenarrow, and Lsheaffer.<br>
<br>
My very best to all visitors and members of the Tractorpoint Community. I have been truly blessed to have gotten to know you at Tractorpoint.<br>
<br>
A very Merry Christmas to you and your families.<br>

I have been a long timer Dannon Plain Whole Milk yogurt consumer until the last 2 months.

And not for breakfast but as an evening snack, or feast actually, as I add cranberries, walnuts and a banana to it. Yup clearly over doing a potentially good thing.

I assume you are using the individual serving size. I think shifting my consumption to your model in the AM with the individual serving size instead of the Coma rendering evening size I had been doing would have many benefits.

Murf you have expanded your Tractor advisement practice into the healthcare arena!

Thanks for the Tip.

Itching and scratching are sure signs of possible food allergy.

I switched to Merrick Grain Free Duck and Sweet Potato. A bit pricey for a larger dog like my lab. Much less droppings... used to pick them up in my tractor tires real bad, almost not at all now, well formed stools.

Merrick was a small outfit that did their own quality manufacturing originally. Bought out by Purina owned by Nestle. Supposedly Purina was going to let Merrick keep doing their own thing... time will tell.

Tractor Keys are usually the absolutely simplest keys on earth, so simple it is almost hard to call them a key.<br>
<br>
But you still need it.<br>
<br>
It is funny that Crime movies show highly complex locks being quickly picked in seconds in the dark, so how hard can a single cut tractor key be? :-)<br>
<br>
If someone could post a picture of the key next to a ruler that might be good enough for a locksmith to make one.<br>

You might get the Locksmith to come to you or pull the switch and take it to one.<br>
