I voted NP and I stand by it. It runs, it’s not rusted out, and some could consider it rare/desirable enough where if it were fixed up it may actually increase in value if the mileage wasn’t so high. Hell, for $3k I’d fly to LA and drive it back to MN (after a full inspection of course) today. The wife would just have…

calling it delicious is a bit far... don’t you think?

to keep ice from forming on your windshield wipers.

I would argue that cracking a window while it is snowing is one of the better techniques for keeping all windows clear of snow and ice -and- if you don’t have heated side mirrors keeping those clear as well.

I drove an ‘84 Olds Cutlass (2 door) loaded with all the possessions I cared to bring to College and drove 200 miles with what turned out to be a spun main bearing. I think I topped out at 60 MPH that whole trip.

Can’t get more ‘mid’ than Nebraska or Iowa...

I have no doubt that the car culture here is lacking in comparison but have you been to ‘Back to the ‘50's’? Plenty of old iron there. And from what I hear the Cars and Coffee had to be moved to Canterbury (horse race track) because it outgrew it’s previous local.

A) Winter duty in Minneapolis consists of ether, driving on plowed roads or driving on roads that many other vehicles have already driven on. I have lived there for 16+ years and have never had an issue without AWD/4wd (okay, one of my vehicles had it but we don’t speak of that vehicle anymore) or snow tires.

It all depends on how far you have to go. The further you go the more twine you need and I hope you paid attention in Scouts when they were teaching knots.

Typically, If I’m looking it’s to see what kind of fool drives like that.

That was the beginning of my hate of all things touch-screen.

A 2 lb. roll of frozen ground beef... that rolled under my seat... in a Black car.... in the summer.... in Omaha. It was partially cooked when I found it after work the next day.

Rally wagon? ... Rally wagon. NP from me and once I get my garage cleaned out I even have a space for it.

I just found out this week that a friend of mine would have to keep the factory radio hooked up in order to keep a few nice informational tidbits if they were to replace the radio in order to gain bluetooth. This is for a non-touch screen radio with buttons and knobs and the only thing the LCD screen displays is the…

Simplify and add lightness in my interiors please.

If I had to guess, I would say this is a GM mini-truck. Either a ‘90s era S-10 or its GMC equivalent based on the shitty looking door handle and those god awful window switches.

so.... all the stuff I wouldn’t want anyway.

You are a braver person than I.

Now we just need to adapt snowmobile hand grips to our motorcycles and ask tire companies to make snow tires for bikes. Then those of us in the north have less excuses not to ride in the winter.

I am by no means ‘athletic’ but when my boys signed up for baseball I was there offering what little advice I could, helping the coaches run drills during practice, encouraging the kids the best I could and passing along the little knowledge I have.
