A Citroën C4 Cactus would be wonderful. I’ve owned two older Citroëns (a DS and SM) and would love to own a new one!

As a tail-end Boomer, let me just say I have no idea WTF people of my age are thinking anymore; people I’ve known 40-50 years have gone completely off their nut!

Yep it does. I live on a rural route and all sorts of vehicles besides LLVs show up. Our usual carrier has a RHD 4 door Wrangler. Another has an ancient minivan fitted with a driver ed style passenger controls. Another place I lived had a carrier that had an old PD Crown Vic that he stretched across and drove from the…

From the time I’ve spent traveling in Canada over the past 40+ years, I have to agree that Chalet Sauce is not my thing. (As an American I will add, neither is Ranch dressing.) I spent a lot of time in Montréal in my college days, and while St-Hubert is tasty and seemingly everywhere, for sentimental reasons my…

Since the GM dealers knew sweet FA about the EVs they were selling to date, GM has a lot of work ahead of them. Example — the local dealer put two 220v charging stations in late 2019. When I bought a used Volt from them in 2018, they had to charge it on 110v (then forgot to put the charging unit back in the car).…

The last picture looks like the interior of my XC90 T8. It’s a very comfortable place to be.

2nd gear: My wife and I both had TDI SportWagens, the only difference was hers had DSG and mine was a manual. I easily got 45mpg around town and 50-60mpg on highway trips. Neither car had any problems in the 3-4 years we owned them (and my wife was putting a huge amount of miles on her car at the time.) I do miss them,…

I had a coupe. Mine caught fire one day while driving even though I kept up with all the things that caused engine fires in the V12. It wasn’t even a usual one like the distributor or fuel supply hoses but an injector leak. The car was totaled.

Having owned one old Jaaaag (XJ-S V12) I feel your pain.

I’m a Delta frequent flier (not this year where I’m a Zoom FF) and have nothing but good to say about the company. They’ve taken the pandemic seriously and are showing unruly/asshole passengers the hand. I’m all for it and will be back on Delta once I start flying again.

Put a couple of mannequins in there and have some fun.

It’s more of a Mass. thing where the unions are much stronger.

The only TV station I listen to from Boston is ch. 10 for the NBC nightly news, so it’s only based on that sample. I agree that “vote no” are on more as the auto manufacturers have much deeper pockets.

Though I don’t live in MA, I see the commercials from the Boston stations. The first time I saw one of the “stalking” ads, I thought, “did I miss something?” The second time I saw the ad I realized it’s the auto manufacturers introducing fear and a lot of BS into the equation. (The fact that I’ve bought more than one…

I remember that commercial -- and it still makes me laugh. I’ve been on the lookout for a reasonable Karmann Ghia for a while; maybe someday I’ll live that dream.

I have a 2020 Volvo XC90 T8 that I leased a few months ago. Since I’m doing mostly trips around town, I average somewhere between 85-100mpg. The battery management and regen is pretty well done, considering it’s capacity is just slightly larger in capacity than my old 2013 Volt. My overall mpg (total miles/total gas…

My brother bought a 2008 Frontier as it was simple to maintain (he is a ship engine specialist.) 150,000 miles later he still has it. (His previous vehicle was a no-frills 1994 Chevy S-10 that made many trips up and down the east coast and was sold with 325,000 miles on it.)

3rd gear: GM has a -whole- lot of retraining to do as they’ve never gotten it right with EVs. I had a 2013 Volt - great car but my local dealer never knew what to do with it. The first inkling was when I picked it up, got a brief demo then realized that they hadn’t put the L1 (110v) charger back in the car as they had…

As I didn’t own a car, I used to rent these from the Ford dealer in town back when I was getting ready to graduate from college and looking for my first job. They were OK but nothing to write home about — basic transportation in a little bit shinier package. (I didn’t buy one though; my first car after I got a job was…

In New Hampshire there is a yearly inspection where they check lights, tires, wipers, windshield (no cracks), rust (no holes allowed), then they connect the car to do an OBD test to get an OK there. The results are printed out and are supposed to be kept with the car along with the registration. The test is around…
