A sister-in-law of mine got a strong lesson on this last year. We live in the South and she has to park outside where she lives. There was rain in the evening which subsequently froze when we hit below 32 F. She got in her car the next morning, was impatient not wanting to wait for the car to “warm up”, immediately…

When I first moved to Missouri after living in Louisiana for 39 I was like why is everyone putting their wipers up. The next morning I found out why. Luckily all I did was tear some old blades I was planning to replace anyway.

You should also mention that when you get into your car, turn it on, and start the defrosters - DO NOT - just turn try and immediately turn the wipers on.

I have always preferred my Cragars.

Still looks good!

‘but’ don’t bother putting them on your Lexus. The offset is all wrong and nothing can improve the looks with that grille.

My 72 GTO circa 1981...slotted mags and white letter tires were all the rage.

I used my regular first name. It’s so generic that I am not worried. It’s not like people actually read my profile anyway.

One of my first bosses always bought the last of the previous generation when the new model came out for this very reason. He had a Suburban, his wife a Mercedes.

What would be your response if this car was from any other major manufacturer?

It would be fairly easy to find 6 cases as a reference as roughly 2-10% of all accusations are considered false. There’s a big issue though that you are forgetting.

Meetoo has made it abundantly clear that companies protect harassers and punish people who speak out. Hopefully that is changing now.
