What are those symbols at the bottom, 10% and 20% chance of what, wind?
Hmm, had to go back to the weather channel and click to find out. There’s the wind symbol and when you click on that icon it tells you wind speed and direction, the listed percentages is for precipitation.

I sure did! That's really neat. When I lived in western MN we had family's truck through town but nothing like that! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Duckhunter. I just fed the ducks. Haha

Haha. I just want spring to start tomorrow. February is usually our worst month. Yeah. Haha. Could be worse, I could be living where my Daughter is. -28 again today. Yuck. So 40 degrees felt really nice today.

thought about toyota or mazda more than once, i know a bunch of people that only buy those because they are the most reliable 4cyl, i would never buy a gm 4. but the 6 in the lucerne, and w body they handle high mileage best of any of the american cars and get the same mileage, but you can pass a truck or tractor if you need to unlike the 4s. used to get 36-38 all highway both of the montes ive had. i had the rental Camry and mazda 6 and they would be second choice probably, mileage and reliability is good but the ride and room in the gms are way better for rural roads every day. might have to start looking at something else next time though gm cheaping out on everything apparently. 5th w body weve had and my mom has had two impalas i take care of none of them have been this bad, my wife has had two lucernes and the bonniville sse before that havent had many issues even at 300k

My dad had a Buick. He gave it to my nephew and it’s still going. And full size always rides nice. I have a Tundra now, sold an FJ I had for 8 years and before that I had a 88’ Tacoma I had from new. I sold it when it was 24 years old. Had an old FJ40 before that. And many different cars before I got married. The Tundra drives like a Cadillac. Almost. Haha. But it does drive nice. The Tundra is nice to pull the trailer with the bike on it. My dad always had a GM. It’s what I learned to drive on. Three on the tree. 1/2 ton. And a 71’ Laurentian station wagon. Like driving a boat. But it was good with 8 kids. We still fought. Haha. My brother had a couple GM trucks in the early 90s and they sucked. That turned me off GM. Stick to something that works.

Oh and my good friend had a Monte Carlo SS in , I’m thinking around early 80s. Nice car. My older brother had a Capris Classic. Haha, the spedo was 85 miles an hour tops but he had the needle touching the D in the drive. Crazy fast for a big car.
