We're back up to standard on the automotive front at Chez Szondy. After a bit of internet shopping and test driving we are now back up to two cars, which means that I'm no longer getting up at 6 AM and spending five hours a day playing chauffeur; and the daughter and I aren't trapped in the house on the weekends.We've also learned our lesson and after three years admit that city cars are rubbish in the country, so rather than getting another little commuter car that will probably end up smashed, drowned or buried in snow, we've bought a secondhand 4X4 that will not only keep us from being snowbound so often, but is also dog-friendly and has enough power for hauling around all the haulage that needs hauling.
It's a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer, but seeing as we discovered after buying it that the petrol cap was an old rag (since replaced) I have decided to call it "Molotov".

I'm picturing Hulk taking a car, setting the piece of cloth that hangs from it on fire and throwing it over the horizon.
Maybe this will help deal with the Hollywood exploding car fraud.
A requirement should be made for all exploding cars in movies to have a small burning piece of cloth hanging from their petrol hatch before the explosion!
I've always liked the way Hollywood cars seem to explode from the passenger compartment.
What the heck kind of seats are being installed by Detroit anyway??
I'm sure this talk is comforting to our congenial host
Well, the original military Jeep, ancestor to my Wrangler, had the fuel tank under the driver's seat.
