My car gets “stolen” from the the work parking lot every weekday. I have the only car in a lot full of pickups & SUVs and can’t see mine over the behemoths until I’m right in front of it.

“It’s like an aeroplane - without wangs!”

I wish I had mentioned this part in my original rant: This takes place on a 4-lane road. The bus is in the right lane and the nitwits who won’t pass after the bus continues it’s route are in the left lane. They stay near the buses blind spots positioned where nobody can go around them.

No no no no no! DO NOT choose the Firebird V6! I had a ‘99 model and have never encountered a more horrible shifter. It was imprecise, cheap, junky and had such long throws that I actually had to lean my body to the right a bit to get way, way over into 5th. This was not a beater; I bought it used with 9,000 miles. It…

Learn how to drive near school buses. Traffic in both directions are supposed to stop only when the bus lights are flashing red and/or the stop sign is extended. I don’t know if this is a local thing, but the nitwits around here now refuse to pass a school bus after the flashing lights are turned off and/or the sign…

One of our customers occasionally stops by to visit with his silver Grand Wagoneer. It’s not a full restoration, but it sure is beautiful example of a weekend driver.

I don’t believe Poles are actually that tall.

I have a 4x4. There have been hundreds of times that I’ve seen an obstacle that I would love to tackle but never do because I realize that particular piece of property IS NOT MINE to damage.

The GPS voice sometimes mispronounces names. It makes me laugh so I adopt them. Alamo Plaza is now “uh lame-o” Plaza, St Charles St. is now “Street Charles Street” and Bethany is now “Beth Haney.” I know - dumb - but makes me chuckle.

It looks like it’s ahead of the tire. Note the one on the right.

One of the many things I love about Vehicross - Izuzu sold 1,805 JDMs in 1997 / 1998 and they were offered in *twenty-five* different colors.

I want it. My friends next door once mentioned offhandedly they thought I had been out of town since they hadn’t heard my car for several mornings. I’d been driving the other car a lot instead. It made me feel embarrassed about my (stock) exhaust noise.

A few years ago I watched a movie from the 1940s or 1950s where the main character pulled in to a drive-in and ordered a beer. Apparently it wasn’t a big deal at the time.

Wow, there’s already a newer story about this woman. Yesterday someone called the police on her for an “unwanted person complaint.” At that time (why not earlier?) police confiscated her drivers license and turned her car keys over to a 3rd party.

Pronounced “Borsh-ah”

Yes. It’s as if they suspect there could be black ice present because the road looks shiny. Even when it’s 85 degrees outside. I swear they drive faster when it’s snowy.

WHO MAKES THIS TRUCK? THE PHOTO AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE DOES NOT MAKE IT CLEAR.

It seems many states are like this (I’m next door in OK.) I was happily surprised during a 900 mile road trip a few years ago how much better things were in a state where trucks were required to stay in the right lane. Traffic moved beautifully! The next state - not so much. I was caught in a miles-long row of cars…

He can borrow my Mustang if he wants to try for a two-fer.
