Walking 3 miles would have taken too long. Bike ride was 15 minutes.

I've been left by the roadside/stranded a lot more often by chevy vehicles than Ford.

The old aluminum head/iron block of the late 80s swore me off of modern GM vehicles. Their suspension tuning finished the job.

True, but it's hard to get the taste out of my mouth. I'm not a big fan of how their FWD cars look and handle as well.

I dig the RWD cars.

Interesting - I've never seen "smart" referencing riding a bicycle in -25 degree weather before.

I never been impressed with Ford's electronics, always had problems with them in my Mustangs. But the engines and drive train could take a beating at the track!

Good thing you didn't take your tonton out in that weather. He would have froze to death before you reached the first marker.
