another great thing about living in the south

only 1 set of tires necessary
and no need for front wheel drive or all-wheel drive

save big $$$ on vehicles

especially in Utee's neighborhood

Probably a bad idea to whip your willie out and play with it whilst on a video zoom call for work.

It gets a bit too cold here for all year summer tires, but there is no need for any specific drive type.  Rear wheel drive has advantages at the limit of course, and less weight than AWD.  FWD offers better packaging.  The GTI has very little understeer near the limit, they really have refined that out for the most part, so I'm fine with FWD.

I'm good with all season tires here.  I don't push it as much as I once did, getting old.  

There are old pilots, and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots.

Probably.  I thought this was a Babylon item when I first saw it.

Well looky here, you sweet young thing
The magic's in my hands
When in doubt I whip it out
I got me a rock 'n' roll band
It's a free-for-all

The world is getting rather crazy.

The wife and I had a very nice two mile walk including the botanical garden, which had some interesting exhibits up.  It was really a breathable moment, two hours worth.  The weather is about as perfect as it can get, 76°F at the moment.  After I digest lunch, I'm going for a run and the wife will walk while I run.

My running had gotten half decent presurgery and now it's a struggle.  Two months off will do that I guess.

I prefer being out and about to reading the "news", most of which is catering to one crowd or the other.

I'm sure, but just not necessary for southern driving

similar to 400+ horsepower

Having grown up where it never snows it was a treat for me when I went on a business trip to Anchorage, Alaska

This was during Feb and the sun would rise about 10am and set 3 hours later

anyway my business partner (also from Texas) and I decided one night that it would be fun to slide around on an empty parking lot in the rental car we had

it was loads of fun to get up to 20 miles an hour an turn the wheel sharply to the right and do a 100 yard
slide which we did several times

thats when the PoPo arrived on the scene

we sat there in the car and waited for the officer to come up to the car and oh yes he had help

I thought this is great thrown in jail in Alaska life doesnt get any better then this

anyway he was a she which shocked the hell out of me

I rolled down the window and the Officer shined a light into the car and she says

you guys arent from around here are ya?

I said no were from Texas and she kinda laughs and says well that explains it

anyway she checks our licenses and tells us to go back to the hotel we were staying at cause our ice sliding days were over

we couldnt get back to our hotel fast enough and needless to say we didnt try that kind on entertainment again
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

All wheel drive is good for fast acceleration when you are toting 500 plus horsepower.

The other option is to put the engine in the rear.  The new Corvette with 495 hp is faster to 60 than the old Corvette with 640 hp or more.

But "we" rarely floor the throttle from a dead stop in real life.

The main problems with AWD are weight and complexity and cost.  The BMW AWD option is $2,000.

There is some crazy car that I see all over the desert that I had never once seen in my life up in the Midwest for obvious reasons. 



It only has three wheels (one in the back, two in the front).

One of the more famous people in the town I live in drives one of these. It's very funny. I think they're called slingshots.
