We are a 10 minute drive into town, OH drives 15 minutes to work, I drive 20, there are shops on the way home if I need them. We did get moose when we lived in town too. However, still can't wait to move to Ontario.

It's a long time since I stuck anything up on this thread.

Always a treat to see the Moose, just love them. Bit scary when you come across one when walking the dogsters though.

Nice....I'm sure you're one of the few in your area with a car like that. Are you in F-150, Suburban Country?

Is the steering wheel on the proper side?

Most driveways have at least one F150, yes, though there are a few Chrysler trucks. At one point I lived opposite a farmer who also worked at Chrysler (most farmers also have a T4 job). He drove an F150.

That said, it's quite horsey and that implies a level of affluence consistent with interesting cars. At the end of the season last year we passed a red Healey on the street, there are lots of MGBs and a later Elan (it has fixed window frames) . There's a rider where the horses are boarded who has a car collector father. He has a 280SL and a Mk II Jag. I don't know what else. Nearby there's a house with multiple Land and Range Rovers in the driveway and I know of a couple of dealers in older cars. So, not quite an automotive wilderness, the local paper often has a feature on a local piece of Americana.

My car, like 80% of those made, is configured for America. It was originally sold in Los Angeles.

Thanks to both of you.

Seeing as it's Thursday I'll put up a throwback to 2016.

That would make a really nice picture to hang on a wall above the mantelpiece.

Thank you.
The original will print 12" x 30" if anyone were ever interested.
