The early T-birds were as much of a sportscar as the C1 Corvettes. When I was a kid, I hated it when the T-bird went full size in 58; then the 60's were just ugly.

I've always said that it's too bad that we have to have unions to maintain decent benefits. Years ago we voted the union out of a newspaper I worked for, and after that we didn't know from one day to the next what our job might be, or if we even had a job.

My 24 XLT sensing seems to work just fine. Our RAV4 has always impressed me with how sensitive that backup sensing is.

That is what must have happened the other day when someone was in the back seat and the seat belt alarm would not shut off.

Like they say, no picture = never happened ;)

Yes! Let me decide which gear to use going downhill.

I like that red trim on the tailgate -- it really sets if off.

Why would anyone leave a truck running with the key in it, unless there were someone in the passenger seat. It only takes a few seconds for some 14 year old to jump in and possibly injure someone. . .

My dad used these folding rules, but as a kid I had a habit of them breaking while I used them. Guess I didn't understand how to fold/unfold them.

Don't know if it's still this way, but it used to be in PA, under 40MPH on the highway 4-way flashers were required. At the same time, in MD it was illegal to use flashers at any speed.

I always signal turns. Doesn't matter if there is no traffic at all, it's just a good habit to have without having to think about it.

Years ago I was driving a tractor-trailer in Arkansas at 3:00AM, and came on a car with NO lights. He had a CB radio, so I said something to him. He replied "I'm saving gas by keeping my lights off." He may save a quart in a year; what a dumbass!

High beams during the day are definitely a distraction, not a safety feature. As far as 4-way flashers, I use them when traffic stops suddenly, or on a rural road where construction has stopped traffic. Some people just don't realize that something abnormal is going on ahead of them, and the...

I was always treated well by the airlines, and at least a few times upgraded to first class. It was always a few of the citizens that felt they had to put down military members.

I park in the veterans spot at Lowes but have no markings on my vehicle indicating veteran status. In PA I had veterans plates on my Harley, but nothing here.

Just to put a trillion in perspective, a trillion seconds equals 31,710 years!

I had a knee injury, for which I was at Bethesda Naval Hospital, but after submitting an official request for records, they could find none. Not a big deal, after years of pain coming and going, it seems to have settled down now.

Exactly! One reason I joined the Patriot Guard to pay respect at military funerals and other occasions.

I really like that veterans are now acknowledged and respected. When I got out in 72 it was a whole different story. It still hurts thinking back on that time.

Ah, you stated what I was having second thoughts about. I confused auto-leveling lights with what you indicated. So are these legal now, or not?
