/
/
comments
Some people like the feel of the wind in their hair, the sun on their shoulder, and the visceral experience of being one with the elements that a convertible affords. Others like the stiffer chassis, lower level of distraction, and greater security of a closed car. While both offer pros and cons, some people just…

comments
OPP- you know the drill; other people’s property. You’re supposed to respect the ownership of others- you don’t toss the dog’s business over the fence and onto your neighbor’s patio unless he had it coming, you don’t eat off of a neighbor’s plate at the Olive Garden.

For our neighbors to the north, Thanksgiving was last month, so they’ll just have to sit on their hands for this one. But for those of us living in the contiguous 48, as well as Alaska and those lucky bastards surrounded by all that warm water in Hawaii, we’ve got a date with tryptophan coming…
