Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

School bus roofs are extremely strong because they're designed to survive rollovers. That also means it can/will survive me putting a roof deck and some solar panels on it.

Nice for motor home conversion, but stupid for school bus because while the bus can survive roll overs, the kids maybe can't since they don't require or have seatbelts in school buses.

But when they're in school they're made of rubber and magic, or p*ss and vinegar.

I suspect there is a lot of integrity to the roof of a bus.

Does that apply to school buses only with the intent to kill the other plebs in a rollover during, say, a work commute?

Can someone explain all these RWD challengers that go out in ice and snow?

During our polar vortex, Monday my neighbor took third out and got stuck in the road for a week, and got a parking ticket.

I’ve had multiple aaa calls for challengers. This one is a winch on icy roads. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxXUquAXHy ... 19vckzgxri Here’s the current radar....

even i've had the urge to shoot out some slowly rolling bus tires on the way to work, but i'd never in a million years wish to see a bus carrying little kids flip over...

And now for Milwaukee, a Nissan 370z

Even with snow tires....the 370z was in the ditch.

Got home to find my neighbors challenger in the road again

Challenge her to get an AWD Challenger!

...and put some winter tires on it.

[tankinbeans]

I'd rock an amish AWD Challenger with Manuel.

Give me a loud MOPAR colour, like acid green.

No such beast. The Challenger GT is PentaStar/eight speed only and sits like a truck.

[tankinbeans]

Were it to exist, I would rock it. The ZF is nice enough, shifts quickly, but I'm just not into it.

As it is a Challenger GT with AWD is out of my price range, at least until I can kill off some more negative equity. I've yet to come up with a compelling reason to get out of Malcolm though. That is unless the CX-4 comes over here, is offered with a manual (not likely), and is available with a color.

Currently, I'm eyeing the Mazda3 hatch which can be had with AWD and possibly a manual. That said, I'm 3/8 done with the lease and am not jumping. Learned that lesson...finally.

Nissan Canada president banks on AWD in declining sedan market

Nissan Canada President Joni Paiva sees an opportunity for the automaker to get a bigger piece of a shrinking, but still important, sedan pie.

Specifically, confidence is high in the redesigned Altima sedan, because it will have standard all-wheel drive in Canada.

“That matches perfectly with Canada. I think the product is perfect for this market,” he said.
