So who was brave (& stupid) enough to drive their s2ks to work this morning?

 

hey iam not stupid ....my sis took the rav 4 this morning so...i risked it...gotta love the second gear starts...the rear end was all over the place....hey greg, i actually used all my gears today

 

Your 4th, 5th and 6th gears still work?? When was the last time you used them... when you drove back from TO?

 

he only uses them when he's running away from the cops at high speed.

 

It's snowing right now. I'm not surprised. It's only May.

 

I don't know how bad it is in other prairie cities, but we have had TONS of gravel on our roads this Spring in Winnipeg. If I put the top down for maybe 30 minutes of driving, the dash gathers a noticeable layer of dust. I just had to rant because it's seriously frustrating trying to keep it clean. Even down south in the desert states they don't get this much dust on their cars.

 

true that my friend. The street cleaners are still cleaning up, brushing dust around and cars driving over it, stir it up. I hope by June, everything will be settled down...Also it's been so cold lately. Just look at the trees, they haven't even started budding their leaves yet. I've lived in Winnipeg my whole life and have never seen bare trees this late in the season!

 

I was driving a transit bus the other day, sitting at a traffic light to turn left off of Dugald Rd. Just before the light turned green the rad fan kicked into high, churning up a giant cloud of dust at the rear*. Some guy on a scooter was right behind me - he basically disappeared in the cloud! I felt bad but couldn't help but laugh.

* Bus rad fans move a LOT of air, we're talking a ~50 hp hydraulic motor with 30" diameter blades.

+1 on the sucky dash cleaning... I park in a gravel parking lot too with lots of truck traffic.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna keep a mini Swiffer in the car. The interior loves dust!

 

I honked and waved at a white car with dark-ish wheels in a parking lot on Notre Dame this afternoon. I was in the red car with my wife. Anyone on here?
