I actually spent some time this year doing rust abatement. For a 12 year old car it’s doing pretty good.

KingT- 60% of the time, it works every time > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 10/03/2018 at 10:39

One of my favorite news interviews ever was a reporter stuck in a freak Spring blizzard on a CO pass interviewing people 10 hours into the ordeal.

Snippets of multiple people expressing the gravity of the scene are shown sitting braced against the open window of weather intruding into their warm “rugged vehicles” suitably outfitted with the most aggressive snow tires and chains . Sound bites galore pour out of these people through the magic of rapid fire editing to match short attention spans. The authorities have clearly failed and they will soon run out of gas in this dire emergency. This is near catastrophic and the news stations viewers need to be made aware so they can act out.

Then a voiceover and one of those warmly dramatic pauses that tell you something special is about to happen. An Alaskan license plate flashes onto the screen shortly followed by a bearded man and his young wife. Both smiling and bemused at the air of poor responses to the situation wafting around them. In the span of 15 seconds they, and their 20 year old “unsuitable vehicle”, proclaim and exhibit a casually studied approach including emergency supplies in equal number to their luggage. Out of nowhere it emerges how thrilled they are to be in a position to do some Summer camping, how well deserved sleep will be after shoveling snow away from so many tailpipes (very pregnant moue crosses both their faces), and finally a full view of their majestic slightly rusty “unsuitable vehicle” which pales in utility and size to anything else currently stalled on the pass.

This piece went out nationally the next day.
