Even when I lived in Maryland, I lived in the “country” area and had to drive about 50 minutes to work. Being on back, counry roads, my trip was a great way to get hyped up for the day and to unwind at the end. 

I truly love watching these cars being put through their paces on the various tv shows and You Tube clips, but I would never want to own one. I suppose that if I won a Gazillion dollars on Powerball or such my thoughts might change, but I don’t think so.

The whole “meaning of the universe” thing was depicted perfectly for me in the final scene from one of the “Men in Black” movies.

Christ, I don’t remember seeing any of these on the streets when they were NEW! Econoline PU’s, yes. Jeeps, yes. Corvairs, yes.

Interesting to know that the Cotillion is still a thing. I remember attending Mrs. Hick’s School of Dance, whare the Cotillion was the final culmination of the year. At the time (early 60's) I lived in Towson, MD, just North of Baltimore.

Well, I’m just turning 71 this month, and I can tell you that “gently used” is NOT a description of any of my cars.

Down here in Florida, Publix is offering BOGO on Entemann’s donuts until next Tuesday. Since I really like them, gonna go with this.

No, it’ll probably be on BBC America.

I have a ‘91 Chevy S10 that I have insured as a “classic car” with free towing up to 50 miles on the policy. Today my water pump broke, so I had to get a tow. I have used this service many times over the years with various cars with no problem.

If I recall all of the time I spent under the hood of my daughter’s Omni, the engine wasn’t “Volkswagon Like”, it was, in fact, a Volkswagon engine. And it liked to “eat” timing belts at the most inappropriate times.

I am distaught. This is one of my “if I win the lottery” cars. Several people in our British Car Club own these, and they are beautiful and comfortable in a way that only Jaguars can be.

I feel you. Seriously. We were on this little dinky uncomfortable Soputhwest plane waiting to dock at Tampa AP. We had only shuttled in from Atlanta, but we got there early and had to wait for a place to unload. During that timje one woman used the lav FOUR TIMES in spite of the crew informing her that every time when…

I go to Arby’s for the Jamoca Shakes. Doesn’t matter what I have with it. 

Oh, they’re real, alright. For a couple days a year, they can get so bad that they completely cover your windshield. At times, it’s like driving through black snow, except running your wipers does nothing to help.

I could daily drive this and be a happy camper. NP all the way.

Way back when I owned an Opel Rallye Kadett. I found a local gas station owner who was also a German mechanic. He kept that car purring. I guess you have to be German to understand German cars.

I once had the wagon version of one of these. I loved it. Comfortable and quick enough for the times. Burned oil, though, and I never got around to dealing with that.

Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering about this, as I am on several British Car forums and they talk of the problems getting though the MOT.

Don’t they have MOT inspections there? How does a lowered car pass these? ust curious.

My first thought: Wonder what they are gonna do with the Hardy Boys, because you KNOW it’s gotta be coming.
