Dear fellow skier, I have done tons of skiing and driven tons to get to it. Get something that handles well and gets good fuel economy. You DONT need lots of power just because you are going in the mountains. You need something with decent handling for winding bumpy mountain roads, so I would write off trucks. Maybe…

Nice. Now lets see the maintenance costs as it survives 3 years as a taxi. Unreliable scrap heap junk.

Got to agree.  Everytime I have been in one its “meh”.  Ok, its got awd, but the rest is lesser than other cars.  Plus the exhaust system put on by racer boys makes them sound like Briggs & Stratton. 

Should have made it a three on the tree.

Everytime I have been up close with a race car (not that often) I always notice how crude and sloppy some of the “non essential speed” parts are slapped together. I guess the builders and mechanics worry and spend time on the speed stuff.  

The krauts go crazy with fireworks on new years eve.

The 4 x 4 was very popular in rural parts of Europe. A cheap basic box that can deal with crappy roads, or be driven onto a field.

“It’s only a four speed but fourth is so tall it’ll highway cruise comfortably, almost like a fifth gear.”

Things should be be peaceful there now, just like Myanmar. 

I noticed that too in southern Texas (boondocks north of Brownsville), although the road shoulders are gigantic, making it a lot easier.

I have that kit, minus 2 screwdrivers, that big hole wrench, one small wrench, tire gauge, whatever that round rubber doughnut thing is, spark plug and the lug nut. My dad had a 356 before I was born and to me those were just regular tools in the garage or basement. Used a zillion times for whatever. I have to say the…

Bank of Canada (Gov federal bank) just raised its rate today. And in a lot of Canada your car is total rust bucket in 10-15 years.

There are parts of bugs, bugs, and zillions of bacteria in vegan foods.  No one is a vegan.

If you have it, read the owners manual BEFORE you go. There is usually one snippet of information that proves useful.

No kidding, I drove around with an old car with a big dent in it for years. My co-workers would always make fun of my car but it was mechanically sound and safe. Whenever I gave one of them a lift they always said “hmm, this thing is OK.”

True, but I see a lot of ads that show “Finance at x%” and/or “Cash discount”.  I guess as long as the buyer does the math.   Seems like many buyers never do the math.

Nice vids but what I saw the was just trailer stepping out. The trailer wheels exceeded the turn radius of the truck wheels (Usually its the opposite.) On dry pavement. Maybe the trailer was empty and hopped sideways on some bumps.

You as a former driver I have to ask you this insane question. Is it possible to “drift” a truck trailer. Long time ago, early 90's, I am driving a rural highway in NH and a truck comes flying around a corner towards me, maybe 200-300 yards ahead. To this day I swear the steer tires and rear truck tires stayed within…

Basically random Joe gets 16 hours of training, passes the drivers test then is allowed to drive anywhere in North America.

I was hoping for a 3 on the tree manual.
