Dodge Avenger R/T Coupe Concept

Even in Canada, where the country is entirely encapsulated by a kilometer-thick glacier of ice from June to May, we still have residents who believe they do not need snow tires. Instead of spending money on such opulent performance devices, they instead prefer to go very slowly and maybe throw some extra sandbags and floor mats in the trunk for the inevitable slide into the ditch. That’s just part of living in Canada, they say, while hunkering in their half-buried Dodge Avenger, huddled under a space blanket counting the number of fingers they still have left to eat.

I’m here to tell you that you probably do need snow tires. I mean, yes, “need” is one of those words that gets any contrarian bore’s hackles up. Like the Mopar-flogging autocannibal up above, you could probably get through a whole winter without anything bad happening to you. Unless, of course, you count me following you home and murdering your entire family because you are going thirty under the limit. Compared to that, four hundred bucks doesn’t seem that bad now, does it?

Ah yes, you have deftly unearthed my hypocrisy. How can I tell everyone else that they need snow tires when I myself am rocketing around the streets on bald all-seasons? Easy, I say. The winter tires are so precious to me that they remain safely at home in my garage. It’s not even that I’m lazy; at some point in the distant future, I will swap ‘em on when I again have a jack or jackstand that is not holding up a broken car, leaking hydraulic fluid profusely, or wedged beneath a pallet holding a transmission. On the street, I need only my wits and being able to pull my entire pair of pants through my clenched asshole as I try to preserve enough momentum while making a perfectly clean pass directly between those children crossing the street.

Even though I work with this handicap, though, I am still capable of going the speed limit. In fact, I often greatly exceed it. Last week I managed to get out of a photo-radar ticket by arguing with the police officer that it had in fact captured the front end of my vehicle, sliding backwards across the highway at a great speed. Yes, if you’re going to nit-pick about it, it was above the speed limit, but my shark of a lawyer argued that there’s nothing in the rule book against breaking the speed limit while travelling in the wrong direction. Ignoring the fact that I lost that case because there actually is, I think the legal theory is sound. We are planning on appealing it to the Supreme Court, just as soon as the plow is done stripping that last millimetre of snow out from in front of the building.

A Dodge Avenger had an air conditioning problem.

When our technician looked into why the a/c system wasn’t blowing cold air, he saw that the air conditioning condenser had a small leak in a lower corner.
