I’d do the same but first we have to peel off the blue-painted faux-wood trim from itʻs wagon days and fill hella trim-clip holes.

Here is a citation from a privately-owned and managed traffic cam, fir a violation we didnʻt see. Move along citizen, nothing to see here.

I assume that the blacked-out SUV following them is their contingent of armed bodyguards, ready to take down any citizen who dares to confront their asshattery?

As a regular surfer, I can only make one comment, NO!

Here is my defense, culled from the Kinja sub-basement, circa 07/01/14:

I lived in the P.I. in 1953/54 on Luzon. This was before the new Jeepneys were being built, and they were all recycled WWII military Jeeps. The frames, engines, and firewall foward were all original, but the new bodies were longer in back with a big overhang. It wasn’t unusual to see several folks jump in the back and…

Circa 1967, living the surf (not quite bum, I worked for McDonald-Douglas Missile & Space Systems) life in Hermosa Beach, CA, one of my several vehicles was a 1951 Jeep wagon. Flat olive drab green, white military-style stencils on the doors and tailgate ‘PIECE CORPS”.

Air Force brat here (40’s & 50’s). Yes. I experienced from both sides of the NCO/Officer divide. Housing and clubs were alwayse segregated by rank. Likewise swimming pools, although the officer kids wanted to come to the NCO pool, because theirs was part of the O-club, and they had to behave.

I’ve lived in three different locations where I had my (various) plane in the driveway while I worked on it. Thankfully my neighbors were not only more tolerant, but became interested in the progress, and pitched in when I needed an extra hand or two.

“... sludge buildup. This gunky residue can block oil passages and lead to a quick death of an engine”. Nothing else need be read. Oil is cheap (even full synthetic). Engines are expensive. Do the math.

Then there’s the entire state of Hawaii, land of the double nickle. There ‘might’ be a stretch of freeway on Oahu where you can legally go 65, and traffic consistently runs at 70+.

The electric versuon can certainly be registered as a neighborhood or town vehicle, a la GEM.

Mazda GLC (Great Little Car), is this what they mean?

Make it fit an adult PAX load, boost the ekectrics to 60 mph and 100 mile range, and I’m in.

Damp Bounce sheets wipe bugs and light tar right off. Wash a car starting from the BOTTOM. I know, this in counter intuitive, but you will have less streaking, and you’ll use less water.

Our ‘06 Outback is at about 115,000 miles. This is number Five. All of the previous were bought used, and every one went well over 200,000 when they were sold, still running fine (except number four, which was killed by a a Jeep Cherokee). Never had a major mechanical problem, and was never left stranded.

I allus thot the little Ford in #7 was so named because it Aspired to become an actual car.

Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon YOU can master the Big Island road, all 261 miles of it for only $2,100.00, asking.

I thot it was a seegar?

In 1951 my dad, who was a professional pilot his entire adult life, bought a new Buick. He drove it straight to the local airport where an aviation mechanic installed four Cessna seatbelts. The car was never started until there was a click from each occupant. This was done with every car he bought until Detroit…
