I could see using an 009 in a limo service when I need to go to the airport. I’m an hour-plus from a major airport, and this would be a nice way to travel.

Yes, many ships in that part of the Pacific deliver freight to the islands and provide passenger accommodations. Some islands have no large harbors, so ships crane goods down to smaller vessels to take into harbor or shore.

Oh god no, they’ve been around New England for a long time. They started in CT IIRC. As someone who grew up on the Island, I’m sorry to hear they’ve invaded your space.

The most smarmy POS dealership in our area. Dan’s dealership did all sorts of old-time crap, like holding the customer’s keys to get you to sign on a new car (the PD was called to the dealership at least twice I know of.) I’m glad they’re gone from our area. I am so glad their stupid commercials are gone from the…

Real NH temp plates are made out of cardboard, so they may fall off if they get really wet. 60-day temp plates are rare, they are for people who move to NH and are waiting for their title to be able to get regular plates. Either way, if a NH cop pulls you over, they will ask for the temp registration that goes with…

In 1979, I was flying Air Canada from Boston to Nova Scotia to hang out with some college friends. We were flying along, and BOOM, the plane decompressed as it lost its tail cone and rear door. A couple of people had cuts and scrapes, but no serious injuries that I remember. I got hit with some food items that were try…

A new Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid. Speed, and room for extra people when needed.

I can’t believe the Reliant Robin was mentioned with OG Top Gear, but not as the continuous foil getting rolled by Mr. Bean’s Mini.

I remember flying in and out of Mirabel just a couple of years after they opened to passenger service. 

Ballsy move replacing the roof, but if you have good people doing the work, that will be fine, and a huge loss of weight! I love Ocean Jade Metallic; this should be cool. Maybe some pasha seat inserts are in order?

I’m going with Honda for my irrational dislike after my bought-new 1978 Accord LX ate its engine 3 times (#1 head replacement, #2 head replacement, #3 whole engine.) It had to do with the EGR system contaminating the engine oil. Honda replaced it on their dime, and the replacement engine was past the warranty period.…

My first job was as a porter in a discount store and I had to clean the bathrooms. The men’s room had urine all around the urinals (expected) but women’s room was always worse, like poo 5 feet up on the walls.

What are we going to do without Big Altima Energy™?

Because of its height compared to everything else in the area, Mount Washington makes its own weather. The base and the summit are almost always two very different things; on one trip I remember it being 90°F at the base and needing a sweatshirt at the summit.

I live in NH, and it can be quite the run on a bike, especially in the old days when a lot of the road near the summit was not paved. I did it on a GS as well!

You are missing out if you’ve never read Victoria’s car culture, opinion pieces, and car reviews here and on other car sites. She is a true gearhead, and your life is poorer for not knowing this. 

I’m just reading along and suddenly see a picture with Nicolls Road? Waverly Avenue? The LIE? Wow.

We’ve become used to everything being shit here.

It does look like tailored wool; I have that in my C40. I rarely have to turn the seat heating on in the winter because they warm up nicely just from sitting in them.

Same here. I bought a Volvo EV because the dealer is less than 10 miles from my house and has always been good to me.
