Stop in for a cup of coffee

there is something to be said for having a newer reliable vehicle.. my commute is 26mi. one way and I have to be here - in all weather conditions, I can't just blow off work because it's crappy out, and being stranded in -5 wind chill ain't my idea of fun tinkering..
with that said, when it is nice out, I take my 83 HD whenever I can - and it has broken down several times... made me either very late or miss work altogether - chit happens
