That and my local dealer thinking they were made from gold and wouldn’t deal meant I took my business elsewhere.

My dad had a Chevette, and took it with him when he moved from NY to FL. A Chevette with no A/C... and black vinyl seats. I don’t think the windows were ever rolled up again.

We used to be able to watch Jeopardy before WoF on WPTZ Plattsburgh, NY, but Dumbcast cable removed it from our lineup. Now I have to watch WBZ Boston in the “wrong” order and it screws me up.

I’ve been watching Jeopardy since I was a kid back in the Art Fleming days. I think the questions today are moving too much…

I’ve lived in NH almost 40 years - when I moved here there were 2 inspections required per year! That sucked.

I owned a used ‘73 SM back in the early 80s. It was a wonderful car and I miss it, but it ended up having a transmission seal problem that was going to cost a fortune that my 2-years-out-of-school salary was not going to be able to come up with.

The last Buick I rode in was one like this as a child (‘53 Roadmaster, a hand-me-down from my grandparents to my parents around 1962). That said, I’d try the new Regal out, but there are a fair number of interesting cars in that $40K price range.

Just doing a few searches on Autotrader and it doesn’t look like dealers in New England are making any big deals. I’ll have to start looking in other regions I guess.

I’ve loved the GM bumper step from the days I had a 2002 Avalanche (where I think it first showed up). I find it useful in my 2015 Sierra. The Ford step is nice but a lot more moving parts; I wonder how well it will deploy in the winter snow and ice where I live.

No talking to the safety driver please.

“Well, at least I lasted longer than Gawker”

Salmon is the color for the hoi-polloi, the proper color for the moneyed class is Nantucket Red, worn/washed enough to fade just a tad.

With the LT1, at least it won’t catch on fire the way my V-12 XJS did.

I so love the Countach; it’s so impractical but I’d love to drive one anyway. The biggest problem is backing up of course:

The southern part of the state is where all the former MA residents reside, hence the bad driving. (I see it every day driving from Concord to Nashua - it gets much worse between Bedford and Nashua).

No, Mass plates are definitely what I’d expect on an upside-down car.

Is Rio competing with Sochi to see who can have the most uninhabitable buildings? Hmm, maybe this could be a new event - Olympic infrastructure building.

1st gear: I love my TDI wagon and am not sure what I can replace it with.

It’s a state law in NH to have your car cleaned off, passed way back in 2002 after a woman was killed from ice coming off a truck in front of her (IIR the story correctly).

Lovely!

I like the red on the car, but I’m meh on the AC Schnitzer extras.
