Right, I mean this was back in the day when young and poor etc. Parking on the street or apartment where they didn't plow, etc.

Winters up here are BRUTAL, right off Lake Ontario and they live right near it.

 

What's snow? What's a plow? 🤣🤣

 

Ah, I will admit I've never had to deal with that. The short time I was in apartments I always paid extra for at least one garage slot

 

This is as brutal as winter gets here. Poor tree 😂😂

 

Yeah I am not a fan of winter on any level.

 

could just put blankets on the back seats. can also hold the blankets in place with seatbelts.

but yeah, minivan is easier.

so do you think you'll move south at some pont?

my last 2 moves were PA->GA->FL.

 

Yeah I could do those things if I had to, but the van was right there lol

If I could I would. It’s hard though because my business is up here and it’s not easily moved, and my mother is here and she’s not moving.

 

well i said at some point. perhaps you'll sell the business or find someone to run it and stay involved in some capacity remotely. anythings possible.

 

You never know! I don’t think I would move to FL, but I could see maybe SC…

 

The greatest convenience of having multiple cars of different types right there!

 

Oh yeah, I have said it before I really don’t see the point of having two sedans in the household as an example.

 

many don't see the point of having an s-class... we can all rationalize anything.

my neighbor has 2 s-classes.

 

Or, one could be like Lindsay Lohan....who not only owned two SL-65 Mercedes, but wrecked them both with DWIs.

 

Oh I know many of those people!

I just don’t get why if you have two cars you would want them to be identical. I wouldn’t buy two S Classes, having some sort of multipurpose vehicle in the household is a huge benefit. I just don’t want to drive that vehicle every day.

What has caught my eye recently is something like an E450 Wagon. Likely too small for us but I think the concept of having Sedan driving characteristics with the hauling capacity is appealing. I wouldn’t want to drive it everyday though.

 

Wow I can’t believe I came back to this thread and we are talking about gas cap covers but at least it’s car related.

I just went and checked all of my gas cars. Cayenne, GTR and Tucson all have plastic hinges for the gas cover. I would bet my previous BMWs did as well. My Durango was also plastic. one interesting thing is my GTR gas cover is actually plastic and not metal like all of my other cars.

My favorite gas cover was my Viper, it was a big chunk of aluminum. Kind of cheesy that there was a gas cap underneath it but it was cool looking and substantial.

Finally, one thing I do know is that for all of them in recent years except my Durango was they all didn’t have a gas cover release lever, just push on the cover and it opens but only if the doors are unlocked which is typical these days even on a cheap Hyundai.
