Thanks for the interesting trip report, cool photos, too.
Love the RiRi Squat :D. Will definitely try that as we regularly get multiple feet of snow on our street before the plow shows up days later.
I had removed mine in early January and it pushed me back 6 - 11 months so I added it back today lol. Can't get much worse than 6/2024 given they'll be ramping up capacity to the point where being 10k cars ahead or behind won't matter much.
I'd think that they also need to factor in capacity, at some point a service center won't be able to service more people and they'd need to open another, right? We have multiple Starbucks in each larger city for the same reason :)
