She went with a VW Atlas; she was already leaning towards that anyway. She wasn't crazy about the Santa Fe's redesign, but gave it a shot because the previous one had been good to her.

I might have to get @subquark's anti-rodent spray recipe, because we have a lot of squirrels in our neighbourhood.
This works good too. 😜

So I'm told. 🤫

The styling is definitely softer than the Santa Fe. My VW was reliable and fun to drive. I hope hers is too. 👍🏻

It does, but my days of standing watch all night with a rifle in hand are behind me. I have to get up in the mornings now and go to work :(

They can be great cars. My mom had a Scirocco back in the '80's for a couple of years that she loved. She only got rid of it because we moved overseas. She got a lot of speeding tickets in that car.

Besides, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!” :wink:

So far so good in Kate's Mazda and in Soupie. I like that it's clear and not oily when it dries.

But it does stop me from licking the engine ... =p

Took the mini Ranger out for a drive.

Thing 1 is learning how to drive, so we use the mini Ranger as a visual aid when talking about driving concepts.

It was the first time out on the roads (instead of just the parking lot) in a regular vehicle without a second set of controls. Originally was just going to do the country roads part, but ended up doing the whole trip home, including some major city streets.

Good going dad! There's nothing like really world experience to teach them and give them confidence. You can only teach people so much in a classroom and OTJ training is the best training there is.

Mostly six foot lengths. 😜

Will return for some free compost with a better shovel than my recovery shovel. Hopefully, there is some left. The compost area was a bit busy. Not a single pickup to be seen. 🤦‍♂️

Make it move with the GPS map 😲 as you go down the road.

Phil, Tito got out again and I found him out in my back patio going at it with one of my Crocks. What are you feeding him lately? :oops:

Species misidentification! 😂 Idaho Fish and Game did that with a grizzly last fall. Told a hunter it was a black bear on his game camera. Oops!! 😂 Hard to press poaching charges when they gave him the green light!! 😏 And we have to pass a bear identification test to get a bear tag! 😂
