A certain infamous FP fella makes my Tercel Days look like my Lexus Days.

Further cementing that common sense isn’t.

I know -- I owned three Tercels.

But you eventually quit doing that . You don’t frequently put out content that gets questioned by the masses and then ignore concern or try to justify why you’re really not the bad guy here.

It does make for a good story to tell, and that gets the clicks and that makes the money.

I’m done with Shit cars, life is too short for tetanus.

Also, they were just crappy , but basically I was the only person endangered. They were never quite "terrifying," and the furthest I drove one in a single day was 100 miles.

Someone had the sense to basically tell him he’s an idiot and danger to people, and it shouldn’t be on the road. Did people support that?

Nope. They were children.

“It’s not on the road. hur hur hur.”

“No. You.”

It’s almost as if he deliberately picks jank car s and sets overl y-ambitious goals so that something is bound to happen and then he has content to write about in order to get paid ...

You get tetanus from bacteria in soil not explicitly from rust. Also I wear Kevlar gloves when working on my car.

I really hope he's getting paid enough for this adventure.

We've got one. We call it the Roads and Traffic Authority.

I wasn’t surprised he had to run down into Northern NM to find a master cylinder for it. Alamosa is both small and a ways from much of anything else. Unless you got lucky , your net would probably have to be cast to getting something from Tao s /Espanola/Santa Fe.

M y doctor made me get a tetanus shot when part of my floor got stuck in my foot and I don’t make nearly enough money to be done with shit houses.

I know that stretch of road. Wolf Creek pass is a stunning place. It averages around 400 inches per year of snow, and CODOT uses, by far, the largest snow removal equipment I’ve ever seen to keep it open in the winter. It can feel like driving through a tunnel of snow Banks so tall you sometimes can’t see the top of them in your car.

The pass actually presents an important decision for getting to Wolf Creek Ski area at the summit from Central NM. You’ve got to look at CODOT’s website for avalanche control plans at the pass 0' dark thirty and weigh in the weather forecast for how things might evolve in the 4-6 hours until you get there to make a decision which side of the pass you’re going to go up to get to the ski area (and the decision point is basically just outside of ABQ). Get it wrong and you’ll spend the morning parked in South Fork or Pagosa Springs instead of skiing while they do avalanche control and then clear the road with loaders the size of which I’ve only otherwise in mining operations.

When you're unlucky, you have to up the Alamosa side of the pass.  It takes along time to get to Alamosa (and almost always during a snow storm), and then you're still a long ways from Wolf Creek.  The payoff, however, is sometimes you get to ski in day where 40" of snow falls and you hardly see another person or track the entire day.

He’s building job security. The last content guy at GMG to be fired  will always be the joker who brought in the most clicks.

Hasn't he failed his mission? It's past Easter??

I know, but I figured I’d follow up your “old rusty  cars give you tetanus” with a joke about Mazdas not needing to be old in order to be rusty, but I guess we’re not  doing jokes.
