    Yes, thought I found a decent one, but it was AWD.

    I think the main issues with AWD were from the 1st gens as they aged.

    Also...the Pontiac Vide is the mechanical twin to the Matrix. I wouldn't rule one out.

    FWD is all I need. Best car I've ever driven in snow was the FWD Ford Escort I had for a while in HS.

    You would cringe at the sight of my grass. I have green weeds and brown grass.

    I can't water the grass all the time. City charges more for taxes/fees than the water itself.

    I been thinking about putting rain water collection tanks in the ground for water the grass. This year would have suck for rain collection.

    That reminds me, I need to get off my butt and get my water catch system finished.

    Been a little Prepper project I’ve been putting off, being on city water and having a 30 day supply already in storage, but I should go ahead and get it plumbed in.

    You can get those downspout diverters at Lowes/Home Depot. Find yourself a couple of 55 gallon plastic drums and you're set

    The closes thing in this area for a 55 gallon drum is those plastic trash barrel.

    Would I need a pump to push the rain water from the plastic drum?

    I guess that depends on how you want to retrieve the water. I know some people just plumb in a simple on and off valve towards the bottom of the drum.

    Would I hook up the garden hose to the on/off valve?

    Would there be water pressure if I hook up a 50ft or 100ft garden hose?

    It would definitely drain. Bit I don't know how much pressure there would be.

    Bet YouTube has some good vids on the subject
