favorite part: nothing to do with trucks. First in the line of motorcycles, looked to be BMWs, gave the Japanese econobox the quick hi-beam headlight flash to make sure he saw him. Because when you're on a motorcycle, you trust nobody. That way you live longer.

Turning in front of oncoming traffic when you have a stop sign/light and they don't = nearly every car driver I encounter every day.

All highway miles, never seen snow or even rain, engine pulls strong...

The newer wipers that have no metal framing bits are basically squeegees and work a HELL of a lot better on curvier windshields.

Trucker nearly hit him changing lanes. Why does everyone always feel for the truckers. I travel 200 miles a day and 50% of it is in heavy truck areas. 60% of these guys are complete douche bags and use the size and the fact that they don't own the truck to their advantage to bully other drivers.

Nope. I had one, the wife scratched the ever living hell out of the car with it.

I'm not sure if there are just a bunch of people from DC posting (where winter isn't a thing) or what... but there is just some generally TERRIBLE advice in this thread. Since I live in the snow capital of Earth, and drive an 87 Volvo 244 for my winter car/daily. I'm going to list things that anyone who knows winter,…

I believe I read this is a myth and doesn't actually work

The only downside... sometimes winter does occasionally make it this far south, and...

Soooo...yeah...Anybody else want to bang the Asian chick?

Laying on metal ribbing, the fumes, and the gas mask, that's the bad part. Working on a machine in a small space all twisted up? Pretty normal if you do your own auto repairs and don't have a lift.

A lot of truckers are Asshats. i was driving last night, on I 84. Temp 38deg F, fog heavy rain, most traffic doing 50-55 on a 65 section of road. And nearly every trucker weaving in and out of traffic to do 65.

Sadly all these kinds of accidents are because most everyone is driving too damn fast for conditions. Far too many times I see Semi trucks blasting through dense fog at full highway speed. Big Truck drivers need to be tazed in the junk for doing that.

I taught people a number of these this morning, on my snowy commute through Westchester. Oh, you're all single file in the groove in your Subarus, suvs, and Audis doing 15? There's a loud Mustang on blizzaks passing you all in the untracked lane.

Not that I disagree about letting the car warm up a little bit, auto manufacturers need to protect for the people that don't. I work for one of the major OEMs and use to do that testing on a diesel vehicle. We would have the vehicle in a cold room down to -20F, start it, and immedietly floor it out onto the track. …

The Miata manual specifically states for you to leave the headlights open during snowy weather. Miata is always the answer.

I've kept every car I've owned for at least 11 years, so I don't worry too much about depreciation.

I don't buy used because I know the previous owner didn't treat maintenance as meticulously as I would have.

You read my mind!
