UPS Delivery Guy vs. Icy Driveway Walt Gorczowski 2019-01-31 | Last week we had an ice storm. My driveway was smooth, wet ice... super slippery. I heard the UPS truck pull up so I opened the garage and told him to just leave the package at the sidewalk and I'd figure out a way to get it, but he insisted on getting it to me. Above and beyond... this guy is awesome.For those that commented that he should have walked up the snow, I thought you might like to see what happened when I did that after he left: youtu.be/-mgoHwMu5zs

Buick Regal GS, Autobahn South Course lap Walt Gorczowski 2014-08-04 | One lap on the Autobahn Country Club South Course in my 2012 Buick Regal GS. Event was a Chicago Section of SCCA PDX. Car has a manual transmission and the original 19" RSA tires, which were not very good for a track day, but it was still fun. This was my first time participating in a PDX, so I had an instructor in the car giving advice.Lights on the instrument cluster are the 'traction control off' and 'stability control off' lights. I ran the entire track in 3rd gear, that's why you don't see any shifting.
