The state recently allocated funds to rebuild the road system; the drainage and the road infrastructure. That means new bituminous coating; drainage runs adjacent to the road; new guard rails and line stripping make it almost a pleasure to climb up to the summit. If only the Mass highways were as clean.
The Ford Explorer? These are the last days of the Ford Explorer - 190,000 miles - frail and shaky - it's joints are worn. It drives like a loose collection of parts. Congress passed "cash for clunkers" this week and the Explorer will be off to the smelting plant.
In five years, the steel from the Ford Explorer could end up supporting the 50th floor in a building in Dubai or somewhere else.
Econ 101.
By the way, it's first gear all the way down unless you want to fry your brake pads.
