Pretty sure I've posted this here before, but, the first vehicle I ever drove regularly after I got my DL was a '70 Chevy Camper Special pickup WITH the huge cabover camper on the back. Although, they did let me use the LeSabre to take my driving test and for dates. 6 months later, I'd saved enough to buy my own wheels.
If I ever showed up in the camper to pick up a date, pretty sure nobody woulda' ever seen or heard from me again...
My mom never vomited when she was pregnant. She said certain foods didn't agree with her, but other than that, she never vomiting. She was six weeks pregnant with each of us, and went to WDW and rode Space Mountain each time (with her doctor's okay of course). No issues.
She was just lucky, I guess. Given my stomach, I don't expect to be so lucky.
I'm like you and @seahawk7 I'm a savory. But the combo of both and I'm all in.
The sea salt makes it savory and I'm all in........*slurp*
Where are the heck

The college I worked for had these. When we had high school tour groups visit and they wanted lunch on-campus we had to station our office staff at these so they could move the lines.
@Gabe1 Snow there too, huh? I'm in S.E. WI and it's not even the pretty flooflie snowman-building kind! We're getting the icy powder stuff that makes the roads horrible.
You just have to turn it into a Lowrider!!!

The one in DCA has seating. That one is very nice. It's a shame that none of the others have been as nice as the DCA one.I'm parked inside a Starbucks. Drove DD to job #2 cause it was snowing so hard and it is just across the road. Too bad disney can't provide seating at their Starbucks in the parks. View attachment 84422
It is about double the size than what the photo captures. This dude on stool keeps staring too. Lol
The engine.Where's it leakin' oil from that it can't be repaired?
Maybe about 3 inches but it has ice pellets in it.
@Gabe1 : That state divide line is sure a weather divide. My DS did half of his College life up in SE Wisconsin at Carthage, we often had different weather.
Gosh, your book selection looks really exciting. I'd say that's right up there with another masterpiece: Slide Rules Down Through the Years . . .
I'm using rental skates. They're free.When I used to figure skate, it wasn't unusual to adjust my laces once during a session. The key is good equipment, especially a solid, excellent-fitting boot. As a beginner, you can cut back on the quality and price of the blades, but a really good boot is most important. It should be as comfortable as a good-fitting shoe, and should take a medium thickness sock for a best fit. Sometimes beginner skaters feel wobbly in skates, but that's generally due to the fact that the cheaper boots really have no support.
Yeah ... or I could just stick with mid-sized cars and be comfortable.That's almost all in the head. Women, especially smaller women have been told all their life that they are delicate and unable to deal with machinery. Should be left to the manly man who is big enough to handle it. When I was with the bus company there was a woman that drove there that didn't even make it to 5 ft. tall and weighed in at about 85 pounds. That woman could handle those 44 foot buses like they were a VW Beetle. One of the best drivers I ever worked with. Size means nothing, confidence is everything.
After my Father passed away, my mother, in her 80's drove a Mercury Grand Marquis until she got to sick to do so. She was 4'9'' tall and used 3 pillows under her to see over the steering wheel. She also had a lead foot. I purposely rode with her a few times just to silently see how she was doing. Believe me, she knew what she was doing. So @JenniferS, @StarWarsGirl95 man up and make your gender equal. Make me proud!
Yeah, this guy was on the radio yesterday.
What is this Lacroose of which you speak?Well, it's official. My parents traded in my lovely Aurora. They were thinking about keeping it as a back up, but then they found frozen water on the floor, meaning the sunroof was leaking. The oil leak, the loose mirror, the sun roof leaking, and the tire leaking air sealed the deal. So now I have an SUV. Like going from driving a racecar to driving a truck. Over the weekend, I'll fix it up and make it mine. I've got two window stickers to put on it: One says "Star Wars" and the other says "Bazinga".
They did get a Buick Lacroose, which is a very nice vehicle. I sat there, in the driver's seat, and played with the features. Did part of the salesman's job for him by setting up the radio station presets, figuring out the bluetooth and tethering my phone to the bluetooth, and figuring out the GPS. And lo and behold, I'm actually allowed to drive it! Mom initially said no, but as we were driving home, Dad said, "Well, you've been driving for four years now, licensed for three. You can drive the Lacroose first and learn how to use the backup camera, and then you can drive the Enclave." At first my face was like this: . And then it was like this: . Surprising since I thought he was going to have a heart attack the one time I backed the Enclave straight out of the garage. So only with permission, and not to school unless absolutely necessary. I told them, "Just wait until the weekend when I'm asking to practice." Dad did not object, Mom said, "You can drive it, but I get to drive it first." Fair enough. Still sad about my car, but I do like the Lacroose. As for the SUV that now belongs to me, I'll get used to it. Eventually.
