Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
I am not known for smart decisions or acting my age, but even I will agree with her on this oneSupposedly we are in the middle of a blizzard but only have about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground. It is cold, 19 degrees and windy, but not a lot of snow. Supposed to get 10 or 12 inches but I doubt it.Right after I posted the above it really started to snow. Looks like we will end up with about 14 in. Temp won't get above freezing all next week with lows -4s and -5s, etc. Wife says she will just kill me outright if she ever sees me pick up a snow shovel again, so I'll have to call the man. I don't even get to play in the snow any more. She is probably right as I am diabetic, have mild heart failure, and just turned 82.

Mrs. venture would never let that happen. She shovels a few times during snowfalls. I tell her to wait until it's deep enough to get the snowblower out. She can't wait.————————————————Supposedly we are in the middle of a blizzard but only have about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground. It is cold, 19 degrees and windy, but not a lot of snow.

At your age I would have thought you’d know better than to yap before the last flake hit the ground. I don’t know about the others in here but I’m disappointed in you.
FWIW, I haven’t broken out the snowblower for a few years because my driveway is flat, very flat for around here. So, I just let the Subie plow through it and pack it down. In a few days it melts. It took me awhile to wise up but like they say, “better late than never”. Maybe wisdom comes with age. You otta try it.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
The snow came a lot earlier in the day than I expected. I still have power, so I cooked all three HelloFresh meals I got last week and put them in the fridge.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
We were getting groceries today and one of these went by. Can anyone explain the reason for buying something that looks like this? It has so many elements of bad design I don't know where to begin....but small windows might be a start. Is it because someone wants a car that looks macho, or is it to be obnoxious, does it say, "I don't care what you think", or is it a car for techies, or people who hate cars......
Sorry if it offends someone, but tastes vary, just want to know what goes through someone's mind who would buy one.
We had one guy at tennis and when someone showed up in a new car, he'd say, "How come you bought such an ugly car?".

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
A local VW dealer is offering a new ID.4 standard with $999 at signing for $149 / mo. Somewhat tempting, but we’d probably want another Pro S and that wouldn’t be $149 / mo.
Crossed 1,000 miles in the Si. Averaging 37 mpg, handles great, manual is amazing. I don’t remember our last Si (20 years ago) being this hard to get in and out of. Age is undefeated.

————————————————LOL, that would be nice wouldn’t? I’ve heard that they used to pay for dinner if you worked late but as usual somebody ruined that by ordering steak and lobster at some high end restaurant. Same with overnight hotel stays for long distance trips. One guy (ex long haul trucker) made it to Tampa and back in 42 hours and some bean counter figured if he could do it we all could do it.Does the company pay for lunch?
I guess you could say that was the last supper.
