I was reading an old thread and realized it's been months since I've seen a post by Ben. Anyone know if he's doing ok or just taking a break?

Last I saw he was using the roadside assist network while sitting on an interstate in Nebraska....and subsequently posting about the trip. Haven't seen or heard much from him since, which probably means he's been overworked.

I thought I remembered reading this about him. Didn't he nearly freeze to death? (Dramatic license)

Yeah, that sounds very familiar now that you mention it. Oil filter problem or something, wasn't it?

It could well have been, I don't remember exactly.

Edit: you know I think you are right! Was it the wrong one, or maybe wasn't tightened?

loose oil filter that was likely the wrong one. Got the oil changed in the next town and made it home

Filter was loose. He thought the engine was dying. Curled up in a ball until first light. Solved the problem and made it home. Maybe he's on 4x4 forums now? Anyone check Pirate?

He was sending me pervy text messages yesterday, so all is well with the swanky one.

C'mon, Ben. Not posting on the forums for months is like forgetting to call your grandmother.

Exactly. It's like he's shacking up with the curvy girl with big cans. You get it, but can't help feeling like he was better off with us :(

No way, GRM forum is the cute girl next door. Everything you want and need in life if you're smart enough to realize it.

Ahhh don't kid yourself. Swank has had side hoes (forums) this whole time. We were just the main hoe.
