That was a minivan, way scarier than the brodozer!

My wife had a ‘95 TBird with the keypad. I took our dog to get bagels and the Sunday paper (still a thing in '95). I figured I would let the dog stay warm so I left the car running and the keypad wouldn't work with the car running.  The dog was very confused because I wouldn't get back in the car. My coworker has an

You can't listen to the radio for more than 15 minutes in the Philly area without hearing a "one dime down" Mitsubishi dealer ad.

I have an ‘86 CJ7 I bought new that has many parts that it shouldn’t have. Apparently, AMC was just scrounging whatever they had to finish the model year out.

Drivers can be on duty for 14 hours with 11 of that driving before needing to take 10 hours off.

My parents had a '72 Country Squire with the rear facing 3rd seat and it was awesome. They later upgraded to an Olds Custom Cruiser with a forward facing 3rd seat and it wasn't as cool.

I drive a gasoline tanker. Our company’s 3 newest Kenworth T880s have automatic braking. All of them phantom/mystery brake occasionally which is not fun in a gasoline tanker. Thankfully the system only works with the cruise control on, so I don't use the cruise control.

They also keep the beer in the cool down unit so it has to be constantly cold.

Our lists are scarily the same. I’d add a J20 with a Cummins diesel swap as a tow vehicle, though.

This. We have horses and live in a rural area and I have a 3/4 ton pickup to get loads of hay, pull the horse trailer, etc. I drive it to work and to run errands, etc. because the truck’s gas mileage isn’t bad enough to justify payments, maintenance, insurance etc. on a commuter car.

Eh, I’ve had the dog puke in my CJ. If a human did it, they’d be cleaning up. There’s a two step process: 1. Garden hose, make sure the chunks go through the floor drains. 2. If #1 is ineffective, it’s pressure washer time.

1. Check Powerball ticket.

You have to carry it on the bike, too!

I had a Horizon total itself against the back of my CJ7 and then they gave me one as a rental while they put a new spare tire carrier on the Jeep. It was the first car with a handbrake I ever drove and I had a blast with it in snowy parking lots.

I prefer holding a flashlight in my mouth because it also muffles the cursing.

No. There is no mileage limit. You can be on duty a total of 14 hours, of which 11 can be driving. You must take a 30 minute break after 8 hours. The driver has to take 10 hours off to reset the clock.

Awesome! I had an ‘86 Grand Wagoneer. Bought it at an auction with the idea of stealing the rears and the motor out of it for my CJ. It was so comfortable I drove it for a couple of years until I needed a truck and traded it in for what I paid for it.

It’s a southern thing, dinner=lunch, biggest meals were breakfast, dinner/lunch and a smaller supper for farmers/people working the fields.

Cherry GoJo FTW!
