My wife and I were in Chicago over the weekend attending both the Auto & RV/camper shows. We started for home on I-90 about 11:30 Sunday morning. The roads became a little tricky starting around the Janesville area. 20 to 30 miles north of Madison there were three vehicles in the ditch over a length of about 1.5 miles. Two cars and a minivan.
And thinking back, the only memorably stupid acts I saw, while driving Chicago, were committed by cars. One moron in a Lincoln was a real standout. But, hey...I don't hate every fata$$ businessman I see driving a Lincoln.
My wife and I have no familial obligations to consider when buying vehicles. So we buy what supports our lifestyle or we feel like buying. I say drive whatever makes your monkey dance!
For us, it's trucks and sportscars. I suppose if I had to drive Milwaukee daily like Sebring77 I'd get a real car, but here in the bluffs of La Crosse, we really like trucks and suv's.
