I just wish it would quit Stalin

A few years back I rented a car to go from the airport to my parents house, about a three hour drive. My flight got in late and by the time I got to the rental area it was deserted. I started wandering around up and down the aisles, and finally came across one guy who happened to be the guy I needed. He said he was…

I have no idea how that guy could see, it was like I was trying to outrun the sun.  Years ago my low-beams both failed and left me with just my brights in a snowstorm.  It was like driving inside a screen saver.

I had some jackass drive up behind me on a 2 lane highway with these lights blazing (only one light, not a stack of them) in a BLIZZARD. I was going the speed limit, he was going 30% faster. 30 minutes later when I arrived at my turn I still hadn’t seen him crumpled up in a ditch. Proof there is no such thing as karma.

Yeah, but how many sweaters would you have to take off to power a Tesla?

How about an in-depth write-up of the Mach 5?  And more big car jumps of all sorts, please. 

Bad back from driving an Abarth through Italy? 😐  In other news, I like this Mini a lot.  

That can be said about sooo many cars.  

Reminds me of the old days of watching Tim Richmond on a road course.

I love this. After spending a wonderful week riding trains around Europe with my wife (including a sleeper car to Vienna), we decided to try American train travel; a night train between Denver and Ottumwa. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t too bad!

For whatever reason my first thought was “ooh, I wonder if they installed three-point seat belts”.

Now I’m thinking maybe its VW that screwed up, because I’d trust Subaru and Mazda over Pontiac. BTW, my daughter’s old Acura MDX is so many levels of wrong I’m not even going to discuss it, other than saying using harsh language really does seem to help.

After moving away 20 yrs ago, I have a buddy bring me sauce each time he’s in town. I’m a vegetarian (of the ‘don’t read the ingredients very closely’ genre) and found the sauce perfect on veggie burgers, grilled veggies, and the like.  I’ve tried most of them but always default to Gates original.

my wife’s Subaru’s wipers function exactly the opposite of my VW’s.  I get to mutter harsh words under my breath every time I drive her car in the rain.

Ha! I remember seeing him on Carson. He said something like: “they found a rich, supple leather and they called it ‘Corinthian’”

Kind of the opposite of a car commercial, where they show somebody driving normally down the road but at the bottom of the screen it says “Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt”

Here in Coloradoland, what nearly everyone wants it a car under 30 grand with AWD, decent gas mileage, and room to haul skis/kayaks/bikes/camping stuff. You could drive around testing the Rav4s and CR-Vs, or you could just do a one-stop-shop at the Subaru dealer. Then the cycle develops where the Subie dealer sells…
