Ummmmm..........how the heck did that happen?
No room in the garage and too windy to use the cover. Can't wait until I move in a couple years and get a shop big enough for all my toys!

Nothing at the moment, but...................found a subject I want to take a face-off picture with 🤠.

This guy lives in the area and soon as the weather gets nice, we'll be doing some photo shots. View attachment 321875

While blowing the pollen pods off of the Scat today with my new air hose figured I would check the tires after the winter. 24 psi!!!! :eek: Aired up to 37 psi and the tire stance is visibly more pronounced. Did the wifey's car and my truck too. They were all 10 - 15 psi low!

Check those tires folks!!!!!

Walked out to the garage a while ago, needed to put the new insurance card in the Challenger, nope! Key fobs not working, battery dead as a door nail! Hooked the cables up to the Ram, got the trunk open and pulled the battery. I will pick one up tomorrow, that is the original battery 6 years old.

Without a battery tender that's about right. I think I am going to put one on mine. It sits allot when the weather is bad.

I keep a tender on it alternating the side by side and the car, tender started acting funny hooked up to the car, I should have taken a second look at it then.

You will be happy when you get them installed.

Since I replaced mine I got to remember when opening step back now that sucker flies open and very stiff to close it. I could of gotten away with just the one replaced truthfully.
Are you sure you got the correct strut compression? It shouldn't be that violent and could warp your trunk lid.
I had the same thing happen on my F150 hard bed cover. After replacing the 20 yo struts, I could barely close the cover. Found out they gave me struts for a Dodge 1 ton truck. They had twice the rated compression of the originals. Had to return them and order the correct ones online. All good then.

Those are for cars with the weight of a spoiler on the trunk lid. Yours doesn't have a spoiler does it? When we put a Trans Am spoiler on my wife's Firehawk, it needed stronger struts to compensate.
