It shows how far the mediocre have fallen, majroj. Prior to this car, the last time I drove a '93 car was in '93. Ah, the good old days when I changed cars every year and they were always under warranty.

Ah, the "Stout Runner" school of car ownershi, Dunesifter?
Get a good one and slowly run it into the ground. AKA "Beaters".
This is a good story for "Car Talk"!

That would be like riding a motorbike with a helmet strap flapping in your ear for 250 miles. Yuck! When I came over here for my first visit to my daughter, she went to work one day and I decided to go out for a drive around the countryside. The only problem was I couldn't find the car keys. When she came home I mentioned this and she took me by the hand, opened the car door and showed me the keys in the ignition.

I leave the keys in the ignition, sam - don't tell the insurance company, OK?

Ah, but perhaps your son could afford that price, TAPS, which makes it a good deal for him. What I can't get over are the number of people who buy new
wheels already
fitted with winter tyres for over $3,000. I'd do the same if I had space in my garage to store them (he! ha!) and if I had a garage in the first place.

I certainly did, Mystereo. That's the best kind.

Too funny, Mr. Mac...
Loved the last line! I quit locking my car years ago after some punks broke out the window to reach through and unlock it so they could swipe some tapes. At the time I lived in Salem, Oregon, visiting my daughter in Seattle. So I had to duct tape plastic over the broken window for the 250-mile trip home. Noisy ride. Wind against the plastic drowned out the radio. Less trouble to let 'em have what's in the front seat.

Goodness. I won't show this post to Son. He just paid over $700 for four new winter tires.
