Huge fan of winter snow tires. We had a 1991 Saab 900 FWD that could out do AWD vehicles with all season tires. And we live at the bottom of a really long and twisty hill climb, which I have failed to climb more than once.

Well. That’s ugly, it would be ugly if it was a Ferrari or a Vette, too!

I own one of these cars. My dad bought it and titled it in Him OR me OR my brother. Bro got his 1999 Mercedes E-something Diesel, which was where my brother lived, and I got the TC which was where I lived. You almost can’t touch anything in the cockpit that isn’t leather or wood. It’s cream with a tan leather interior…

I don’t know what people are doing to F up their VWs?! We have owned VWs since 1978 and with the exception of a diesel which began to fall into Safe mode pretty often/frequently we have never had substantial trouble with any of them.

There are potentially 180 diffferent “last travel dates” based upon the 180 different nations in the world. Countries you wish to enter set their individual requirements for passports and visas, not the USA. Your passport is valid until the expiration date for the USA, not for every other country in the world.

last Saturday neighbors stopped by to pick us up to go see Last Jedi and go out for dinner. There was 3/4 inch of snow on our gravel road, and they were in their Prius. We got into the back of the Prius and drove away from our AWD VW in our driveway at 2:30 aiming to see the 3:15 show. We got to the main road at 3:30,…

I’m an old white guy with a white beard in a white state, and I think The Root  is pretty well written, often funny, and puts down racists effectively and hilariously. Tucker boy is a stone hater asshole with the self-image of a saint, which is pretty funny right there.

Profit created without producing a product is actually money taken from the system by cheating, finding loopholes in the structures meant to control corporations and their activity. Computerized stock trading is a good example of this, by taking advantage of very momentary imbalances between prices set in different…

We learned to drive standard manual transmission vehicles. I even learned to double-clutch downshift into the non-synchro first gear in our 1971 FJ40, which was NOT an icon at the time.

Ancient family history. Maternal grandmother was from a riverboat town in KY, and her brother had a small construction company that went large in WW II. A cousin had a Cord convertible and would drive south to FL where Great Grandmother spent winters (GGrandma traveled on the train like respectable people!). There…

Dissing on Rollover Structures - this is a person who never has been in a vehicle that rolled over. I was passenger in an F-350 that rolled on I-25 in northern New Mexico. We weren’t going very fast when the right rear tire bead failed, when the rim hit concrete, it stopped dead and the rest of the big truck kept…

Had a coworker who would NOT fasten a seatbelt, would buckle it up an dthen sit on it.

Had a VW Jetta, while they were grinding the pavement on the highway into town. Coming home one evening, the terrible grinding sound didn’t stop when I drove off the ground-down part of the road.

I watched ahadn F-350, a 4x4 2008 model 6.5L Powerstroke with 20k miles on it all summer. It was a Lariat with leather and a towing package, Forest Green. Eventually the price in the ad dropped to $27K, which was because it was rear-ended. There isn’t much to tear up but sheet metal. So I bought it.

My Mom had a 300 TD sedan, which was really nice. We drove from Atlanta to Birmingham for a Bowl Game in that car, a little late leaving, so Dad really rolled it, over 100 mph, still felt like sitting in the lounge. I once reved it up in neutral and dropped it into drive and got rubber in both first and second.

I once hitch-hiked home with a starter for my 1971 Chevy C-10 PU truck. It was not a collector truck, it was the truck I was using to rebuild our shack into a house. I walked most of the 23 miles, and it was around zero. A preacher picked me up about half way, and I thawed out a little bit.

I’m an elderly former USN sailor retired after working since I was 14, except for the vacation in the Navy. I have never made a sexual remark at work, even in the Navy.

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…
