Unlike Mustangs and other sports cars, you need to be wary of driving closely behind the lifted trucks/SUVs, etc. They easily clear road kill or debris that will take out the front end of a Corvette.

If you look at what it takes to get a license to drive, you'll know why you see so many terrible drivers. Add in talking, texting and checking social media along with driving and you have a mess. As someone else mentioned early is the key. Usually on nice Sunday morning while the faithful are on their knees, I'm on the gas. Perfect time.

I hope you're not casting aspersions on my one-stop shopping destination for new spouses.

Had a guy Sunday in a range rover wanted to race He was hacked when I would not do it

Between Amazon, eBay and Rock Auto I can't see any need to go in a Wal-Mart. I try to stay away as they have ruined many a good town.

And those you've mentioned have put any number of small mom and pop businesses out of business too.

Walmart is America's source for wholesome family entertainment:
