Under the Hood – The Complete Picture
The Complete Picture
By The Warden
When I learned to drive oh those many years ago (24 years ago, to be exact), my dad taught me. He took me out to an unused country road, pulled over, and spoke the words that every teenager longs to hear. “OK, hop into the driver’s seat.” After fifteen minutes of seat and mirror adjusting, along with a lengthy lecture on responsibilities while driving...

You know, the standard drill stuff. I can’t believe this has gone on to a hundred, never would have known it would have gone this far when I first started it, can’t...
