Re: Pet Peeves?

Yep, same here in Oregon. $287 fine for improper use (which covers 99.9% of the use I see).

Re: Pet Peeves?

"You must be from Australia".

People who drive about with their fog lights on all the time.

Ignorant rednecks

Folks who are convinced that everything is because of god.

Re: 6+ seater vehicles

Land Rover Discovery 3, known here as the 'LR3'. Seats for 7 adults. You might be hard pressed to find a decent one for $20k but my '08 is a fantastic rig. The 4.4 Jag V8 is silky smooth, and it gets...

Re: Scottish vs American Kilts

Re: Choosing a car, suggestions for snow!
