The Midcoast Road Rally is in two days, which means I had to take the Saab home and make the three hour return trip to campus in this o n two lane roads because it can’t handle I-80. It was a very pleasant drive, albeit one that made my foot sore.

Fwiw, I have found a strong correlation between spiders and Jeeps.

I’m going to blame my US  society and the US government for me automatically reading that as sniper instead of spider when seeing the word school.

You know how plane have a top speed and then a crusing speed? Well, the cruising speed for this car with its 3-speed transmission is at best about 65mph. Also, it doesn’t do well holding a constant speed.

That makes sense.  I wasn't guessing that car had a 3 speed.

That A lfa sold a sports car in the 90's with a 3 speed automatic that doesn’t like holding a constant speed actually sounds like just about the most Italian thing ever.
