When I got up today it was -9 C (16 F). The snow had melted off of the roads yesterday and they were dry, so, it's Wildcat time. I went out, started it up (two pumps on the gas and turn over twice), and scraped the windows. I turned on the defrost and rear defog motors (Thank you Tom). After about 5 minutes, I got in with my dog Daisy and my RC truck (Dog has fun with it, and so do I). While driving there, I got a lot of funny looks from people. What they do not know is that this is now my daily driver, unless there is snow. I enjoy driving my car, it is like driving my couch, but more comfortable. I am going to play driving her day by day. No snow, we go. There's snow, she snoozes.
There is something Uncle Tony (Uncle Tony's Garage on YouTube) said that resonates with my way of thinking He said "You have to remember, all of our classic cars started out as daily drivers.". Now, he lives in Nashville so, rain but not much snow I understand. My girl is a daily driver. She has Mud and Snow tires on her. I drive sensibly, so I keep my distance from the vehicle in front of me. Sometimes this is hard to maintain as people will use this space to enter your lane. Have a great day to all of my Buick friends, wherever you are. Chuck
There are a lot of classic American cars in the Lethbridge area. I always liked to drive around in the area to look for hidden gems in driveways and farm fields. I remember Herman, he lived on 43 Street South, always had a few classic cars for sale, you could spot them from the main road Highway 4. He had two 1974 Electras for sale, back in December 2010: Herman's location, close to the Flying J:
