I have to comment on “The Lad’s” latest podcast about the potholes.
Is it just guys? There are no holes on MY highway … well, actually there are holes of all kinds, but when I drive I go around them. I know my car so well, I can skin the edge of a giant hole and not hit the car in the other lane – unless it’s a woman in a SUV. In that case, all bets are off ‘cause most of them do not know how to drive. Except for my neighbor Bernadette … but then she is a free-wheeler like me so it’s okay.
Let’s see, now: new tires, new balancing job, new paint work from all the small (large) stones (rocks), new seat covers (never mind why), and a new engine from all the shifting and bouncing and etc. Can I have a new car??????????
So IF you could have a new car….what would you choose? A nifty,speedy, sporty model with a powerful engine under the hood…??? Then you could really freewheel!!!! (And give the Lad palpitations in the process.)
I had a good friend who had a Lotus. He used to SCCA race. He discarded the passenger seat so he could drive as he pleased… Needless to say, I never did get a ride in that thing. He had a lot of great 4 wheeled toys!
