My brother hates his, it is always in the shop, despite his particular vehicle's high ratings from consumer reports.

@NativeOregonian which one does he have??? 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy I'm not sure, I have never seen it, him and I live four hours apart and rarely talk on the phone.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian then how do you know he has it in the shop a lot ? you should ask him. you send him emails????? 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy Because he has told me in the past, that is all you need to know.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian you tease us yet wont tell which car it is. enquiring minds want to know. 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy Because my brother never told me which make and model it is, and I never asked.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian well ask him. we all want to know! 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy You seem to be the only one wanting to know.

@NativeOregonian consumer reports gave the Toyota prius a really high quality rating. how come your brother did not say which brand of hybrid car when he talked with you about it?? thats very unusual! 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy Because I am not a car person, I could not care less about them.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian you dont drive??? 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy I prefer motorcycles, give me a classic or vintage Brit bike, or late 60's to mid 80's UJM, and I will be happy.

@NativeOregonian even on the snow and ice??? how about in the rain?????? 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy Ever hear of spiked tires and skis? Rinses your hair really nice.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian hmmmmmm 馃樅 sounds risky though!!!
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy No more risky than driving a cage.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian you dont flip over on ice road in a car. while on a bike it slides and you go down sideways. 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy LOL Sure, ok. I see more cages in ditches flipped over during the first heavy snowfalls than bikes any other time of year.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian @NativeOregonian usally idiot drivers going way to fast on snow and ice. 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy You do not need to be an idiot driver going too fast to flip your vehicle and/or land in a ditch, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is enough in many cases.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian hmm. a motorcycle can slide sideways on ice when stopped. while car wont do that. 馃樅
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy When you have heavy duty skis attached on either side, you will not.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian I not seen motorcycles like that .
NativeOregonian51-55
@trackboy They are usually home modifications, and the tires are used on ice tracks.
trackboy22-25, M
@NativeOregonian wow would be interesting to see them. not seen any like that here. 馃樅
