Sorry you left the United States and moved to Seattle. My wife and I are currently trying to work out a plan to leave California and move back to a state where freedom, personal liberties and taxation with representation are practiced (visited Texas which is currently the hoped for escape back to freedom and respect of our constitutional and personal rights.)
Moving to Seattle
Hello all
Ive been a member of IMBOC since 2008, but haven't done much in the way of posting. Hopefully I can be forgiven.
I have a 08 DHG Bullitt with 89XXX miles. It is is my daily driver and my pride and joy. I recently accepted a lucrative offer to move from Jacksonville Florida to Seattle Washington. Of course the primary concern is my car....
Over the last year, I have contemplated trading it in, but I just cant bring myself to do it.
In a trip out to Seattle for the interview process, I noticed some pretty radical hills downtown that seemed to rival San Francisco. I plan on living in downtown Seattle, and walking to work. The Bullitt will be used on the weekends, or in case I need to get somewhere and dont care to wait on public transport.
Thankfully I dont have to worry about driving it across country as my new employer will pay for shipping.
My questions/concerns are:
1. The hills have me worried. I replaced my clutch slave cylinder at 40K miles. A few thousand miles later, I had the clutch replaced in conjunction with a transmission issue (transmission issue covered under extended warranty) . Will I experience extended wear on the clutch and components when engaging from a stop on the hills? The only hills in Florida are the occasional speed bump and man made hills in housing developments.
2. I recently had the 90K mile service completed at Ford. Is there anything else I should do? Should I just drop off the car at Ford and tell them to give it a "once over"?
3. I will now need a front license plate (booo). Should I let Ford install it?
4. Will there be any issues with the climate change? Or does the cars computer adjust? Do I need to be worried about rust?
