First, let me say that this is gonna break my (94 year old) Dad’s heart. He has been leasing LaCrosses forever, or so it seems, and will be due for a new one in a year or so.

I recently looked at a sister car to this one, a Firebird Trans Am, basically kitted out just like this one, except it was a drop top and had considerably more miles. The asking price was $5000.

Wait. 2007 Grand Cherokee uncomfortable? Did they change them for that year? I had a 2005 Grand Cherokee and it was the most comfortable long cruise car I have ever driven, and I have driven a LOT of cars. 

It’s funny, but every refridgerator I have owned in the past 40 or so years have had these things they call “wheels” on the bottom. You just kind of grab the unit and pull it out. Easy peasy.

Last Spring I came upon a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hemi. The car was gorgeous - looked like brand new, inside, outside, under the hood and underneath. The price was $3500. Why? because it had 250,000 miles on the clock.

I’m telling you what happened. We had a local lawyer who convinced a judge that it was unconstitutional. If you got a $150 red light camera ticket, he would charge $75 to get it dismissed. He would walk into court about once a week with a couple dozen tickets and got them all dismissed, based on this argument.

No, it was not intended to be. In 40+ years of driving in Maryland, I knew any people without front plates but no one ever got more than a warning from the police about it. 

The United States one. The part about innocent until proven guilty, mixed up with “probable cause”. These cameras assume that everyone is breaking the law.

Don’t see how it’s a revenue enhancer. I don’t recall it costing all that more to register a car in Maryland (two tags) than in Florida (one tag). It would seem to me that the state would save money if they got rid of the front tag.

Our local courts DID in fact render the red light cameras “Unconstitutional”. They’re gone, now. 

Aside from the fact that I thought I was looking at a Ford before I read the title, it is in Thursday Night Cruise in at Hardee’s shape, which makes it a NP down here in Florida.

The recycling people down here specifically tell us to remove and discard the tops before dumping the bottles in the recycling bins.

Bad  day, huh? BTW, I’m 70 years old, just FYI. 

It started when they put the self check out registers up. It’s not really a big deal at the big warehouse stores, where you are primarily buying large items. But standing there while some poor slob checks through 12 bags in your cart is a real PITA. I just started walking right by them, and when they asked me to stop,…

Who said anything about dying? I would just like to have some control over the matter, especially now when they pack you into airplanes like sardines.

I think I resent that remark. I am perfectly serious.

ANOTHER reason to drive yourself to wherever you want to be. Stuck trains, airplanes stuck on runways for hours and worst of all, cruise ships broken down in the middle of nowhere.

Came here just to see the TBird. They were such lovely, great running cars. Early to mid 60's, best car that Ford ever built, IMHO.

There are garbage disposals, and then there are GARBAGE DISPOSALS. When we built our house 20 years ago, we opted for the biggest, most powerful unit available. We have put a lot of “no,no” stuff down there, and never had a problem.

Putting the shoe on the other foot, I get a little tired of being referred to as “sweety”, “sweetheart” and “honey” by the waitperson in many of my local restaurants and bars.
