'19 Hellcat Redeye

This is my parent company, I was happy to read this email yesterday when the news dropped. They could not have found a better and more stable owner. I do not know what this means for the shows the channel produced, but we can hope they bring the good ones back! I have brought up dabbling in that arena to my agent, she says to keep doing the weather lol

Hopefully everything will improve since, in my opinion, everything went downhill the past few years to the point I canceled my subscription.

Not sure how many people would come back since it looks like most has established their own channels on YouTube.

I think that they all learned a lesson about owning their created content.

I've had conversations with a few of them and it appears that they weren't really paid a lot.

They got caught up in doing the content creation and never focused on anything else. I can see myself doing the same thing.

It'd be hard to make it worse.

And EricG, tell your agent to stuff it. You'll most likely be much better at doing the car show things than you have been with simple weather things...like getting us some snow here.

Okay, that's partially my fault. Buying a snowblower pretty much cancelled any snowfall.

As seen on another Challenger site:

"I decided I should wash my car today because I saw a bug on it. It was 45 degrees so not too bad. I was wrong...my hand were hurting!!!"

The guy saw one bug, then couldn't deal with 45 degrees. He'd have a conniption fit if he saw my 'Cat...and a thermometer.

I've started getting emails from Motortrend the past few days. Haven't received any in months. Hopefully this is a sign that they're getting it back together.

I can give you choices.

A 72" 3-point PTO version, a slightly narrower (I think) hydraulic one for a skid steer, or both.
Not selling the one I'm (not) using. Sorry.

Hate to tell you, but it wouldn't be a barn find. It spends the winters in the carport and the summers in a shed.

It works great. Especially if there's snow.

But you'd have to buy the skid steer, too. It's really the only thing I use it for. Come to think of it, maybe it's the skid steer? We still got some snow when I used the 'blower on a Unimog.

He can change the living room furniture easier than finding a really good snowblower and skid steer.
