When they went low in 2016, we went high. They went lower, and won.

The 2007 Caliber was the most horrendous shitbox I have ever driven, and I’ve driven a lot of shitboxes since I got my learners permit in 1972. I owned a Gremlin, and a Citation, ffs.

I learned this in driver’s ed in 1972, long before airbags were common. The idea is to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. Easier to maintain control with two hands than one.

speaking of Bryan Ferry..
Roxy Music live from 1972 is best Roxy Music.

Considering this is the 3rd “500 year flood” in Houston in the last five or so years, would you take the chance that there won’t be a 4th anytime soon?

Remind me again why we encourage people to build in flood zones, to the extent of rebuilding the same flooded homes over and over again?
