If ice is common on roads where you drive frequently, consider getting studded snow tires, if they are legal. Most places where ice storms or black ice are common allow them from Nov to March.

I voted Crack Pipe, but I do love my dad’s TC by Maserati - the cockpit is all tan leather and walnut burl and it has 30K miles on it. My dad loved convertibles, when I was in high school he had a Studibaker convertible with a 289 V-8 (there’s that cylinder number again!) that would wear out a Pontiac of the same…

Not technically an engineer, I was a software guy. Many in my workplace were issues uniforms, and the others frequently wore dark slacks, which shirts and a necktie. Neckties and I just don’t work . Then I noticed that some guys who went into the field wore Polo shirts and chinos or something like that.

Duh! Non-white female missing? Cops: She’s probably out partying, right!!

I agree that cars are to be driven. I have my dad’s roadster, a 1990 (I think, could be a ‘89 would have to look) Chrysler TC by Maserati. It’s more of a touring car than a speedster. Comfortable, all leather and walnut burl in the cockpit. I’m not a huge convertible fan, Dad was a sun-worshiper and I am not.

You people can’t read, you shouldn’t be commenting when you can’t pay attention to what is in the article. $300,000 is for subway MANAGERS- who are distinctly NOT union employees. Managers are who the unions fight with to be treated decently.

Mercedes C-300 sport model, recall notice like 18 months ago, hard to catch up on 20,000,000 bad airbags.

Methodist church, suburban Atlanta, wedding. We were from away. Church member watching day-before run through asks best man “How do you all keep the blacks out of your church up north?” Made me glad I don’t belong to a formal church. Best man, LT in large Sheriff dept, was astounded in a horrible way. Do I wonder how…

Hey! Youse guys!! Let up a little. My Dad bought one of those, loved roadsters. It was his Florida roadster. Later on we drove it home, where his M-B 450SL lived. His last car buying trip, he traded the 450 SL in for an E300 diesel. I tried and tried to get him to trade the Chrysler TC in, but he was all “They didn’t…

First diesel car was a M-B 200D, then a ‘78 White Rabbit, then a Rabbit PU Truck, etc. Finally the last diesel so far, an F-350 Powerstroke. Never put gasoline in any of them, except a little bit in extremely cold weather to keep the fuel oil from gelling up. Did run kerosene in the MB once when I was way low on fuel…

I would have a city dump truck break down right in front of that train, and a fire truck in back of the train, or visa-versa, and leave then there until CSX decides they can run their trains all the way through my town. Like a week? OK dudes... a Week it is!

I don’t recall ever giving my keys to someone at a dealership. Ever. Maybe it’s that my memory is failing. I guess I have, after I got the prices I wanted. I don’t usually trade in a vehicle, I buy one and sell one. Anyone need a 2005 F-150 Supercab 4x4? ;-)

Pretty girl, but anorexic to an extreme. Needs medical and psychological help soonest! Seriously, not a good look at all!

We visited Italy last May. We stayed at a vineyard in rural Tuscany, and the next ridge over had another small hotel with a fancy restaurant. So we drove over in our rental BMW station wagon / suv.

I won’t ever be driving a car with that kind of “dashboard” - not ever, at all, never. Ugly, dangerous, unnecessary and pointless. Tempting one to look away from the road, which is already a dangerous habit that needs no encouragement.

Vet here. Don’t ask us to go look up proof for your assertion. If there’s solid science that backs up your assertion, then provide the multiple links to the professional journals that contain that proof.

We decided a few years ago that if we can afford the trip, we can afford to take the trip in comfort. At least Premium Economy on short flights, First Class on long flights, more than a couple of hours. So comfortable seats, comfortable casual clothes, extra nice to flight crew, nice trip.

Science has shown that consuming alcohol with potentially threatening food can definitely stop or prevent illness. A closed oyster bed was illegally harvested, it was contaminated with hepatitis (don’t know which variety) which was sold to local restaurants. The health department was able to identify many potentially…

Back in 2008 we visited Chacho Canyon - site of many stone pueblo-style buildings built 1500 years ago and then abandoned 1350 years ago, as the Anasazi culture died out or moved away. Lots of mystery in the valley, who, why... shaman buried with 50,000 separate worked pieces of turquoise, why?

You need to get out a little more. Betweeen windmills and solar photovoltaic panels, the mid-west and south-west is becoming crowded with both types of solar power. In Tucson AZ even the Wal-Mart parking lots are roofed with solar panels, so customers get to park in the shade, important when it hits over 100…
