Typical ‘cop mentality’; lots of machismo, few brain cells...

First flew in one of these, back around 1970. These were the backbone of Mohawk’s regional routes, and I flew one from Utica to Philadelphia.

That’s a cattle bar, to protect you from hitting a cow on open range roads out in the west.

You are probably 10x more likely to get stuck in a ditch than stuck on I95, so any cold weather kit should include a tow rope (with hooks) and a foldable shovel.

In winter driving with tractor-trailers, the trailer brakes get a lot of spray, and the brakes can easily freeze when set. In truly polar driving, drivers often set ONLY the drive axle brakes when parked, and I’ve even been to some truckstops where there is a slight grade and a telephone pole laid across the end of…

Actually, if you are on packed snow, you really don’t feel much from a frozen brake drum-until you hit dry pavement!

There was about 3' of space between the grill and the radiator. If you wanted to install a set of train horns, you had enough space.

Replacing a spring fork with a non-spring gravel bike fork is a terrible idea. Solid forks are meant to work with the fork crown just above the tire tread, whereas spring forks have a few inches of travel to the crown. If you replace it with a solid fork, the frame rotates several degrees, completely changing your…

I noticed that too. Looks like you have a BENT FRAME. Contact a framebuilder, and weep...

...except the rim brakes will no longer work with 650B rims..

Yes, the Airflow was a BIG car, even by 1930's standards.

That’s where AM radio comes in handy; you can always find some border-blaster station playing ranchero or norteno music...

I noticed that the chart also included “Geeley” and “Wangxian” cars, with numbers well above single-digits, too!

Nah, just slap that air tag on a Greyhound bus!

There are ‘special’ tires for heavy winter condition, but for the most part semis just rely on drive tires with good tread. You’d be surprised how much traction you’ll get with 40,000 lbs of load on board...

That car may’ve been aerodynamic, but it sure doesn’t have any downforce!

The 2CV is a collectible in France in more or less the same way that a Ford Model T is in the US; a lot of them were modified, there were millions of them made, and there are still a lot of them around. A decent period-correct T isn’t worth more than about $7k, and neither is a decent period-correct 2CV.

Because, god knows, a 4CV is a handful in the curves....

We used to call them “hula skirts”...

Ooh, Enterprise is NOT going to be happy with you!!!
