    What a mess that was...we had to clean the garage floor twice and last nite, before leaving, I had to add 8 oz. of antifreeze to the reserve tank. I worried all the 75 miles over to the dealer this morning, but all is ok now...thank God. Dunno what I'd have done if it started up on the way back...prolly make yet another trip back...grrrrrrrrrrrr. It was leakage done when the car was assembled in Germany.

    I looked at my car today all warm and waxed as I shoved snow from my driveway.

    I added miles to my odometer & managed to dodge all the bozo's out on the roads. Incredible stupidity everywhere I went. Missed being in a crash with Mom in her SUV by a few inches. She had no clue I was there, maybe my car is invisible. :eek:ut:

    You need to move out into the sticks where you'll be safe.

    If you and your wife are "virtual employees", then, how can you be "off" work until Dec. 2, since your "work" is virtual in the first place? :devil:

    I am safe and I am kind of in the sticks but the area is getting built up. My next step out would be to Lancaster PA but the Amish do not have high speed fiber optic Internet service available. :lol:

    Drove my sorry, sleepy butt to the mall at 5:30 am to meet my good friend for Black Friday shopping (not my idea). First time I've ever gotten the little snowflake-in-the-triangle notification on my tach hehe...bloop!

    Found that my new Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires don't bite near as much as my summer tires. Held up traffic in the roundabout at Sawmill and Hyatts Road when I did a 180 because the rear broke loose. "Pucker Time"

    So a pucker factor of about 9 would be a reasonable guess then, huh Chuck?

    Yeah, it let loose all at once....missed the outer curb and was sitting looking at traffic that was previously behind me. A bit embarrassing. The dried liquid salt treatment on the road surface didn't do me any favors.

    WOW...I am soooooooo impressed. NOT. WHO needs to be driving like a maniac thru a roundabout on Black Friday, the busy, bust shopping day after Thanksgiving? What...the traffic wasn't nutso enough for you, that you just "had" to make it worse? Sorry, buddy [but not really THAT sorry]. :nonod::frown2:

    Sorry, I must have missed the part where he said he was ‘driving like a maniac thru a roundabout’.
    Any deterioration in surface conditions should warrant these not only ay the track, but on the road as well:

    Well a little bit later I have to take my MINI out for a run to South Philly. UGH I hate driving in the city of Filth-a-delphia, but I am doing it to meeting up with a friend from Atlanta and taking him to get a "real" Philly Cheesesteak at Tony Luke's home of the real #1 Philly cheesesteaks period.

    I can't let a friend to to the tourist traps that serve dog food like steak sandwiches with Cheese Wiz on them like Gino's, Pat's or Jim's. Barf :arf:
