Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Did anyone else notice seeds popped in and made his 12,000th post? Then he continued his Hiatus.

No. I actually have standing permission to go buy a Corvette; I just don't because it would be stupid here. It was just funny to see "really an Opel" as if that meant it couldn't be a Saturn on this side of the pond.

I mean, it's not like the Honda Passport that was really an Isuzu, or the Dodge Stealth that was really a Mitsubishi. It's all the same company.

It's probably above your pay grade you Addiction hoser. Hey, it was above mine. But that didn't stop me from buying it.

Ditto.

This became my theme song, coming out just as I started feeling my oats, as the expression goes, in high school.

Half that would do it for me, but not a penny less.
