    Perhaps flying into Buffalo this weekend would change your mind about how bad Chicago was last week. :D:D

    I’m not a black wheel fan although some cars really do look great with them. I absolutely agree that your car looks fantastic with white wheels.

    A few weeks ago, I started setting a MINI club drive to bring toys to a local annual toy drive. MINI Canada saw my posting and decided they would sponsor the event. They're bringing MINI Swag and bicycles!

    So if you are in the Vancouver BC area, you are welcome to join us.

    Early yesterday morning, the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club, sponsored by MINI Canada and the 3 MINI dealerships in the area, brought toys to the annual Vancouver Christmas Wish Toy Drive to donate for under privileged families.

    Roads here are a little wet, but on salt. I went down and check on Checkers to see if it's under water, but all's good.

    I went to start the Mini today, but I guest I should have done it sooner. The old story. Low battery. So I went to the wife's car and the same thing. I guess I have to drive them a little more often. The truck still works. I use it every week to go to the store. We have to eat.

    Bummer about the batteries but on the other hand a few short road trips are are always a nice diversion.

    How long have the cars been parked? I only drive my cars about once a week, maybe two weeks, and they always start fine.

    6 to 8 weeks. I live in Calif. and I do not drive either car in the rain. I have a truck for that. The wife doesn't drive anymore ( dementia ) so I don't drive them as much as I should.
