I was unplugged when I awoke yesterday, so Tuesday's Open Mike is a day late. My apologies. What's on your mind?
I was invited to participate in the Chevrolet Impala Drive Event this week. I've already written about the golf and the whiskey tasting, and I'll soon write about my tour of the GM plant in Oshawa, but this entry is about the 2014 Chevrolet Impala we drove from Oshawa to
