*chuckles* A few years before I bought my '81 MC from my parents, my sister was driving it. That winter, we had a nice snowfall (6+ inches) ... and the car looked like a MC SS Aerocoupe . Cool pics, bv. As for winter ... bring on SPRING ... PLEASE! My goodness ... I can't stand cold weather ... or salt making my '87 MC LS look terrible .

*nods* Yeah, I noticed this, too. Ironically (imho, of course), some of the ones that were "disowning" the new Charger ... have no problem with the 1995+ "monte carlo" or the 2000+ "impala". *rolls eyes* I'd much rather have 4-door and RWD and V8 than FWD and V6.....

No, I'm not talking about your favorite lyrics or quotes ... I'm talking about your mantra ... your "instrument of thought". That is, do you have a saying that you use to inspire you? Or, maybe you have a phrase that you use to explain things ... or, perhaps, just to entertain yourself and others ... or, perhaps, to use as an ice breaker or comedic relief? I ask because, I've seen and heard more and more mantras from various people ... and I'm curious if this is something that we all do, even subconsciously.... My mantra, given to me a few years ago by a good friend, is: "Irony rocks". So, if you have a mantra, what is yours?

*rolls eyes* Oh my goodness ... the infamous RWD vs FWD argument jumps out from underneath the frozen ice at Chevrolet's headquarters once again. Heh. Way too many times I see "people have forgotten how to drive in snow" as the argument for mishaps ... if the person happens to be driving 4WD, AWD, FWD. If, however, the person happens to be driving RWD at the time ... the RWD gets blamed just about 90% of the time (or so it seems). But, whatever. That doesn't explain how I get through the snow OK in my RWD ... while, as others have, I observe SUVs and FWD cars deciding that snowy weather is the time to go off-roading.

Hmmm...as an "addendum" to this, particularly the "blah" feeling I mentioned.... I was home sick today (no fever, just severe headache, etc.) and realized that something (as it has been for the last couple days, actually) just didn't feel right. So, I spoke with my PCP and my pacemaker people ... and, via a telephone check, discovered that my pacemaker has reached its "life limit". Tomorrow, the nurses and my cardiologist will call to give me info and schedule possibilities to get my pacemaker replaced ... most-likely an overnight stay in the hospital as well. *sighs* At least this explains some of the "blah" feelings. Just now concerned about the new health insurance and a few other things. BUT ... it'll work out, I'm sure .
