After this week, I am only "Mostly Homeless"

... Which means that I might actually have some time to get back to this blog!"

Homelessness requires Flexibility

72hrs from world class sushi at Hollywood & Vine to a dance hall in central Texas should throw any system into shock.... But, factor in that I made a 24hr stopover for a home cooked meal in the heart of Central Ohio and it is no wonder I need a drink.

Luckily, the dance hall has a liquor license.

Greetings from the West Coast...

Been kinda busy the last month or so... But I've got stories to tell and updates to make.

Thanks for the notes/requests, I have NOT abandoned the blog... Just been especially nomadic lately.

Highly Recommended: CTS4 for snowy driving...

I've spent the last few days in Minnesota dealing with snowy roads in one of my favorite rentals, a Cadillac CTS4 with the 3.6 liter engine.

I rented one of these exact cars last Christmas and drove in similar conditions around Michigan and chicago. Both times, the cars AWD Traction Control System has really impressed me with its ability to keep the car moving smoothly, and not very slowly, on fresh snow covered, slushy or packed snow encrusted roads. Unlike some over similar systems, the Caddy doesn't completely kill the power to the wheels and make you feel like you're being punished when it kicks in.

This week confirms that, in my opinion, the CTS4 is probably the best sedan for this type of driving... Sorry Audi.
