Splurged on great seats… for May 2022. He and Sebastian Maniscalco were both at Hard Rock Hollywood (separately) the same week we were out of town around Labor Day, which was some bad timing.

What's this work horse being used for? A buddy of mine just picked up a couple of Ford Transits. They'll be Data/Fiber trolley's.

A buddy had the prestige models set up a long time ago.

Even if I could afford it, I'm no audiophile.

What's an "audiophile"? My view, if you like to just chill and listen to music, if it speaks to you then my friend you are an audiophile.....we're all here because we like cars, some are more into it then others but really I guess we're all autophiles aren't we.

That's fantastic! I'm in the process of buying a Tennant T12 for work right now. I tend to buy a Condor or Tennant machine on alternating years. Scrubber one year, sweeper the next. Considering these things have about a 3-5 year life-cycle and what I see done to ours on a regular basis; I imagine you stay pretty busy and have a lucrative business there. How large of a territory do you cover?

Funny note: dad gave the old white Ford to my struggling brother. He and the dog often spent the night in it.

My youngest son's new gf, her uncle donated an F350, white, for her to use as a daily.


I guess I'm just a van-magnet

Now that I've had a morning full of hydration - I can't tell if it's just placebo effect, but the water does taste "fresher". Normally when I get water from the fridge it has a weird aftertaste, and it seems like drinking from this bottle after purification that the water tastes better.

Great machine. So up until July we covered DC-Maine, we got purchased by a bigger company the end of July and are now national. Depending on where you are "on Earth" either my team or our parent company may be able to help.

If nothing else, I'd be happy to price-check it for you. You should be getting more than 3-5 out of a T-12 or a condor (we just replaced our condor in our own warehouse after 12 years with an SC6500 due to supply chain delays). We tell people the "average" life cycle is 7-10 years, but with a proper PM plan (we're a service company too) 10-12 isn't unusual. at at that point they're probably still in decent shape, but like a car the cost to maintain becomes such that a good business decision is to replace or make it your "backup" machine makes more sense
