Hello Warren, and others, and what a surprise the comments and opinions
and "huh" ??? Where did the Blunder Bus rifle come into this?
Interesting examples of course are the ones that are open ended at the
muzzle, so I will only guess the intent here... But well back to
autos, and yee olde Bus... namely the family wheels with a name ,in some
cases.
Yes...I remember the times in the US seeing this, and to an extent it
is still going, as the trucking company does allow the drivers leaway
to installed a few extras, and some painted emblems.

The only thing on insurance is the distance travel to work, or the
auto is used only for pleasure. Also how many miles or Kilometres
we plan on per month. There is no Canadian Insurance Classification
" your mileage may vary". It is also rated as zones, too where you
live and as mnetioned how the auto will be used.

The only ones around here, are all MUD and skid plates for the most
serious as well monster tires, or ones that ...well...they just don't
look like the ones normal people drive with.
Bottomline they need a wash..and a ruling on these silly tires.

Same here, but a new deal on the lake is to drive around one of the
islands on a snowmachine.... that was neat to watch the first time
but not after that. Constant speed and pitch and you have it.

I think a few people, venturing into any area that is rural and remote
would find the same thing.
