Oh. You didn’t hear the news? Doug is ‘following in his brother’s footsteps.’

That’s mighty fine work, boys. They must have been working that case for years.

Here in Canada, driving your mower... or any non street legal vehicle for that matter... around a town of less than 800 would barely net you a passing glance from the Mounties.

Aaaaaaaaandd.... now I’m interested.

 Full disclosure: I used to drive a CVT equipped Caliber for my company. Its only shift point was from low to high at 25. Generally, it was a surprisingly quick car off the line and nothing was terribly wrong with it... but I still hated driving the bloody thing mostly because the transmission never felt right and was…

I kinda wish they would turn off ‘shifting’ altogether. Then people might start to understand CVT better... like the whole point is that it’s always adapting as it needs to. It should be smoother as a result.

 It’s true. I can’t figure out why they got out of light trucks... even in favour of SUV’s. If they make something practical, light, 4x4, comfy in the front, just the teeniest bit comfortable in the rear, and a little sporty... they’d probably sell millions.

Oh my God. You are right. Now I hate electronic parking brakes even more.

Oh yeah. That was a great episode. Lol.

Here I thought it was like that test rig they use for roller coasters... you know, so no one loses a limb.

Egad, that description reads like an8 th grade English paper.

I’ve always wondered why they never made a colour changing car, like those hypercolour shirts from the 80's.

That would make a great statue of him.

Holy crap the 80's were a strange time.

Holy crap I think I need this car.

Right? It also makes compression testing a snap.

I know one guy who hooked up the remote switch for his garage door to two nails in the outside fascia. Any conductor placed across the nails opened the door. Pretty handy.

Longbox... extended cab... diesel... manual...yum yum.
