Sandy Hook NJ. While many of the gun emplacements were built to fend off the perilous Spanish Navy of the early 20th century, nobody gives a crap about that. They also don't give a crap about the various leftovers from the missile defenses that used to be there, or the cool old houses and buildings that were officers…

And if they did, I'm reasonably certain I'd see at least two of them in the teachers' parking lot at my son's high school. Twice a year, they have former Black Panthers come in and talk to students.

I really don't care what Georgia residents put on their license plate. I do envy them for only having a license plate on the rear of the car, and not the front. Florida and Alabama do that too. So feel free to make fun of them all you want. They're getting the last laugh while the rest of us drive around with license…

Look out Boss Hoss! The Liter Triples are comin' for 'ya.

712 to 626 on a factory-supported vote, and the UAW lost. I don't understand why you're calling that a narrow vote. It's pretty clear that even though VW supported the UAW's efforts, and VW writes the checks to the employees, that the UAW lost in a landslide.

I had the I6 in mine. It was more than adequate, and lived to about 240,000 miles.

Let us not forget the sinkhole in Winter Park, Florida that swallowed five Porsches in at a repair shop in May, 1981. http://www.trbimg.com/img-50a27fef/t…

The 305 V8 was available as an option. I don't recall which years, but I know it was available.

The Misses and I had one of these skiffs once. It was surprisingly better than Ford was ever given credit.

Since you're "Hondaman," this gives your post extra cred.

I agree completely. It appears you have the deluxe model, with the chrome badge on the grille, as do I. This whole front license plate thing though is complete bullshit. Think of the money our states could save be requiring us to only have one mounted on the stern, rather than the bow and stern. It works just fine for…

It's different for VW than other manufacturers. VW's charter requires union representation on their board, and other manufacturers don't. You have to read your history about VW to understand why. And there's the rub. Who wants to read? Why not just put up some billboards and go to online forums...

You're right, it's hard to have subways above sea level. But the entrances to the subways? That's not a problem.

I second that. I lived in Atlanta and commuted to and from Alpharetta every day. Now I reside in New Jersey and even though snow is common here, I'm still amazed at the locals inability to cope with inclement weather.

If you were to take all these Garden Staters and turn them loose on the roads simultaneously at 2 pm…

But building railroad yards in swamps (like NJTransit) and subway entrances at 5 feet above sea level (MTA, NJPath) doesn't help either.

I disagree. I lived in Atlanta for seven years. The folks there were very tuned into weather, and most of them prepared very well for it. The problem is two fold. 1.) Everybody hit the road at once. 2.) Once the accidents started, the place got gridlocked. I've seen it get gridlocked and a 2o minute commute turns into…

While I love simplicity in a logo, the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles logo looks like a cost cutting measure that is devoid of any heritage at all.

So what you're saying is that there's so little going on in this world for automobile enthusiasts, that we should watch airline safety videos, which we will be forced to watch when we fly?

1.) I don't care if the guy sits on VW's supervisory board. He got there because VW's corporate structure requires union representation on the board. So I'm pretty sure the union sent him because he would be outspoken and best represent the union's interests. What's he really know about marketing and sales? I bet he…

For those of us who also ride motorcycles, automobile crash test results are not really much of a factor.
