Rear-wheel drive... about as evil as advertised. Oh, and a couple of footnotes.

My entire life I've driven forward-wheel drive cars. Well, more specifically, my entire life, I've driven Carlita. Who happened to be forward-wheel drive

Be very, VERY careful with that. Front brakes plus rear wheel drive is a recipe for disaster, and it takes a LOT of getting used to. If you can, find a parking lot that hasn't been plowed or salted properly and practice your emergency braking, because if you aren't prepared, you're going to have BAD things happen. My first winter with rear drive and front brakes, I nearly ran into the outer sidewall of the I-80 bridge over the Missouri River.

Yikes!

You definitely have a good suggetion there. I talked to pirateday last night about taking me out to an abandoned parking lot when it's slick on a weekend. Who knows when that will actually happen, but we've got a plan!

Ugh. My parents had rear-wheel drive when we lived in West Virginia, which gets inches of ice on the roads before the salt trucks can get everywhere. I have memories of riding the one-lane road that winds around a mountain, with no guardrail and a very deep river gorge on the other side.

How's that for a "back in my day" story? LOL!

*subliminal message about reviewing VftT for Hathor*

Oh gods. Just hearing about that is freaking me out!

And heh, yeah, I was considering typing that up for Hathor... but then I wondered if I still had Sundays... and if there was an editing first thing going on now that I missed... and yeah, being MIA for as long as I have has made me paranoid, apparently. ^^;

We dumped the daily schedule - post when you want. If by "editing first" you mean you have to submit an article, no. :)

[ifritah]

Done. ^_^

View From the Top...is that the one with Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Blucas?

[ifritah]

Yup!

Though Marc Blucas is only in about two minutes of the film.
