bourgeoisie means the people with $... Upper middle class.. Not born into it - not aristocratic

bourgeois as a social classification is the French equivalent of middle class. It originally meant you lived in a city or town rather than on a farm. It usually has connotations that you are materialistic, uncultured, and mediocre.

Right.. The people who got $ from working not from aristocracy...

I know, just pointing out how rediculous that statement was/is. Snows or no snows, doesn't matter. Drivers Ed 101----drive at a speed that is safe for all driving conditions. Snows are helpful and may give piece of mind but aren't a "cure all" for winter driving. I personally drive slow no matter what the road conditions---just not in that big of a hurry to get anywhere and I don't want to spill my beer.


HAHA Campi you have to get ahold of us when you head up this way. I have a feeling we will do a lo of laughing, and drinking, and skiing, and... :daffy:

Hey not to put you in th emiddle of anything but being in the industry I have a question for you. Is it to late to put the winter air in my tires? :cool:

You should be fine, I would caution however that you check the ashytray o-ring prior to rotating the summer air with the winter air. I've seen people NOT check this and BAM, muffler bearing goes. Not pretty and VERY expensive to replace. Good luck.

Ah the good old days, have a blizzard, no school, no work, pile 3-4 buddies into the car with bald tires and drive it down the highway sideways as far as you can. Drive into dept store parking lot and see how much you can spin out. Get stuck, not a problem, everyone pile out push and go. Yeah, those were the days.

Had nothing to do with being Polish, had more to do with being young and foolish. The good ole days.

By the way, what is stupid is "yeah but you're polish so stupidity is part of your ancestory.." If you had any idea of what you were talking about, you would realize this.

Growing up on the Jersey Shore we didn't get much snow...so just substitute driving through the woods or on unpaved back streets and that sums up my good old days. Also didn't have or wear seat belts.

Worst part was when I had a friend who drove a furniture delivery truck and decided to take it for a dirt/mud road run...we had to use a bunch of furniture pads to get out of a stuck spot. Surprising thing is that he didn't get fired...

Good times.
