Feh, maneuverability is overated. If you want to go really fast (and who doesn't want to go really fast?) delta wing is the way to go. Get high, go fast, push button, go home.

Took the Bronc to the dealer for an oil change yesterday. This morning I have a check engine light. Open the hood and there was no cap on the oil fill tube.
At least they brought a cap to the house, picked up the car to get the code cleared, and will bring it back.

EDIT: I did much the same thing back in '88 with my GTI, on our cross- country "Meet Doug's Wife/Meet Hillary's Husband" tour, but the light came on in the middle of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which, if you've been there, you'll know is pretty rural. Luckily, I had a quart of oil and a rag to stuff into the filler tube. Next day we had it checked out at the VW dealer in Marquette, and all was well.

Same here. Last time I was in St. George it was still Dixie, and that was just 2020.
Turns out there was a Special Olympics event here, the Blazers probably just lent them the bus.

I'm never letting anyone change my oil again. The last quick lube I got was in the '80s.

Unsurprisingly, you don't get it. He visit stadiums and walks around seeing what areas he can get access to without people noticing.

We quit using miles here 9 years before I was born. Kph is almost universal. The only reason I can comprehend how far a mile is or how fast MPH is, is because I learnt to drive in old English cars and their speedos and manuals were in imperial measurements.

Hehe.
Speaking of whizzing, I popped in to whole foods for breakfast blueberries and decided to grab a 6-pack of N/A beer while I was there, and the U-scan said I needed to be 21+ in order to purchase said fake beer! Luckily I look sufficiently old that the young lady in charge breezed right by that screen for me, as I didn't have ID on me.
