Plus a second set of tires takes up a good deal of garage space. Unless they don’t have a garage, then a second set of tires takes up a good deal of living room space

I would sufficiently lubricate the passage with bodily fluids

As a hotel bellman at a moderately high-end place I had the opportunity to park some pretty nice cars (we had no OFFICIAL valet, but sometimes we acted like it). The one that stands out is an old Rolls Royce, I think around a mid-1950's to 1960 vintage (Silver Cloud maybe?). I don’t remember too much other than it was…

FWIW, I’m in my mid 50's and taught both my mother and father to drive stick. Mom learned, Dad didn’t.

I keep wondering how many lift tickets they’d have to offer me to make this whole thing go away.  Sadly, not too many in my case.

Please say you drove it wearing a beret.

I wasn’t allowed to ride with my grandparents and never understood why. Then one day grandpa HAD to drive for some reason, and then I learned. On a two lane country highway he comes to a dead stop, then starts backing up to see what kind of roadkill that was we just passed.

Sounds like you’re describing something we came across while mountain biking one year. The ride out this loooong dirt road, nothing unusual. The ride back...debris field leading to a car with doors and trunk open. Nobody wanted to go look for dead bodies, but I couldn’t just ride away so I did. Nothing...not even…

The R5 Turbo seemed too...I don’t know, supercar-ish to be included in this list. But yeah...that and the original Quattro (and likely a Morgan) would be in my garage if I was super duper rich.

Renault 5/Le Car. Completely irrational choice, especially since I test drove one back in the day. The shift lever got buried into the passenger seat cushion in fourth gear, there was a bit of smoke coming from the engine bay, and it died during the test drive and I had to be rescued by the dealership. And yet at the…

Back in high school my best friend mentioned he was thinking about replacing his Pinto Wagon (that his dad swapped in a manual to replace a dying automatic) for a Saab. This being pre-internet, Sunday mornings were spent car shopping in the classified section of the newspaper, and I found an affordable Saab on a used…

There’s a word for gluing back together an Italian car.  That word is “Upgrade”.

Ten years ago, maybe.  But my child is now an adult and no longer wants a fort.

I’ve always felt HD has two main demographics: People who are lawyers who don’t want to look like lawyers, and people who aren’t lawyers who want to look like lawyers.

easier to get in with that skirt/jacket ensemble?

I’m still trying to understand the sales pitch...”hassle cops, it’ll be worth it”

Rude? I dunno, but I do get frustrated and use harsh language. In my defense three red lights in a row, each 600' apart?  Every f-ing day?!

The one about car-tag reminded me of the time we had a college class trip to some manufacturing place, and since no school busses in college, we carpooled. At the end of the tour they had a bunch of giveaway items...pens, magnets, etc. I remember we took all of the magnets, and were tossing them out the car windows…
