Driving is so much easier here! Shame about all the other terrible drivers on Wisconsin roads...

What car do you drive?
I asked a similar question to my co-workers when i came over "what do you recommend i buy " . i was expecting , Ford , GM , Chevy to be the answer .
In fact it was "Honda , Nissan or Toyota" .
So i bought a Honda ( and a small Ford to have some alligence )
