And the Aussies would do very well there against left turn only types.

And, I'm in West Valley so I can get some less than tastefully modified Honda's.

A tour of the area around Yellowstone is the thing to do. You don't crawl along at 8mph, you get to actually climb mountains.

In the SLC area there are a number of places that do tours that actually allow speed, perish the thought, and lunch with one hell of a view. Once I finish at the comically titled U of U the wife and I will go to Daniel's Summit. They rent sleds and have a hot tub.

Next weekend, snowy parking lots mean opposite lock in the Subie.

I live in Utah which produces some of the best perfectionist audio speakers and other stuff in the world. We also have "The Greatest Snow on Earth", so snowmobiles (skiing is for people who can't operate machinery), and also a new Wildcat from Arctic Cat and since we have a lot of canyon roads, something amazingly good handling with four wheels, preferably from the Kirkham brothers. And a canyon home to get me out of the winter inversion.

But nothing expensive.

My personal fave would have to be a 1981 Turbo T/A with mighty Buick Grand National style motivation in white with blue chicken sidewinding into the offset scoop. Or the silver small family sportster above.

But I'll take the manually motivated T/A in the lede story.

First time I saw one it was being driven in the winter and the driver was sliding it up onto a curb in wintertime Detroit about 1980. I knew that it was something I would never want to drive but I certainly would want one on a pedestal, rotating.

I just heard an unusual term "petroliana" relating to old timey gas station stuff and petroleum company creations including bubble gas pumps. I learneded a new word today!

Tyrrell P34 R/C Car which promptly got carpet fibers in the front wheels and ceased to function. It was just fabulous to look at anyway.

Also a Montgomery Ward StingRay knock off that I rode for nearly 10 years. I will have the real thing since I will be able to afford it in the not too distant future because it just looks damned cool.

And one year I got some Aurora slot snowmobiles, I think it was 1972 or so. The track was white and there was a light blue "ice track" that weaved back and forth in it's section. I don't know of anyone else who ever had that.

I have to stay away from Musicdirect.com and Hdtracks.com . Those are expensive places for me and my music obsessed self and I like hi-res audio way too much and vinyl played on expensive stuff will get me to melt on a couch very quickly.

I follow this credo and purchased a mildly used base Forester X and consider it a luxury car because it has power locks and windows.
