I don't "need" good handling, 'cause with enough power I can slide 'em.....

ah yes, but now that you've had it, you'll be disappointed without.

163,033 miles, 1,658 days



(I WILL get a good-handling car, because even a monkey can push hard on the gas pedal).


Last tank netted 26.3 MPG, because I've been pushing my K even harder. Cannot believe the wheels haven't flown off this thing.
Eventually I'm gonna HAFTA replace some brake parts, because they're grinding :shock: , and an oil change :roll:

And maybe take the studded snows off, too......................


Too busy driven' :drive:





'nads still attached; whew

So Tuesday I hit a square-edged curb so hard it bent the steel wheel like a saw-blade on the Three Stooges.
The next day (and since), after a bit of vigorous shillelaghing with a 5lb hand sledge, I drove over 100MPH.
Fine fine fine except for the bit of out-of-round-and-balance.....



Looking hard for a new car.

Dang! You need one of those cars made by Local Motors. Perfect for you. Or an ex army Hummer. Either one.

For the price, you won't find anything else close or we'd have suggested it to you by now. But you'll have to splurge for some steel wheels, the alloys and low profile tires wont cope with the goat paths!
