    its not 4wd, its Awd. 4wd is for trucks and gun racks! No seriously, there's a difference. What are you studying at RPI anyway? You should be explaining that to me!


    As for my omission on the Ford in the background, I didn't know you were referring to the GT. I guess that one is so obvious and plain to me that I doubted you were asking about it. For a very short time, I was in the pilot program of that vehicle, right before I left Ford. Do you know what one of the competitive fleet cars was? If you said an F360 Modena, you're right!

    Driving = Roads

    Roads = Rocks

    Rocks = Chipped paint

    Chipped paint = exposed metal

    Winter = Salt and Water

    Exposure to atmosphere = Oxygen

    Exposed Metal + Salt + Water + Oxygen = Rust (basically)

    Driving nice cars, outside, in bad weather, IE rain, snow, winter, canada, is bad.... Very Very bad.

    Driving Misery Vans in bad weather, rain, snow, winter, canada, is good, very very good.

    Who hates canada? I hate cold, snow, ice, salt, etc. etc. etc. Canada is one of my favorite states. Only a 45 minute drive and as much vodka and corona as I could drink when I was 19. Plus there's some hot canadian women. However if I was gonna move away from where I grew up it wouldn't be to a place that was colder. Hell no. It would be arizona, or florida.
