Andrew Wilkow? Seriously? In the early days of emailing he was hosting a radio show. He would constantly harp on how only wealthy people and those who get no government benefits should be allowed to vote and have a say in our democracy. I engaged him via email stating how about the millions who take the mortgage…

1964 was the last year for Mopar push button slushboxes. 1965 models went back to floor and column shifters. 

CP-Being a Ford person always a fan of these. They are far better proportioned than the yacht like Mark IV and V. It’s not worth $15k but it’s a $7-8k car because of the rust and I don’t think many of these, unlike 61-69 Continentals are valued that high.

The first generation Kia Sportage was offered in either RWD and Four Wheel drive versions. The latter models like other compact CUVs were FWD or AWD.

The Xterra is a bit pricey. I see plenty of nice 2000-03 4x4 ones on CL in the NYC area for $1800-2600. My mechanic in the Bronx has a nice grey one parked in front of his place for a mere $1600.

So Subaru let’s us have the WRX and the STi version. VW sells the GTI and GTI R. Hyundai the Elantra and Veloster N. Yet Ford which has marketed itself as a “world car” company won’t sell us the Focus ST. 

A woman in my garage drives one. It's white with a personalized plate that says Eos chic. I see some listed that are fairly reasonably priced but VAG reliability can be subpar. A few came with the 3.2 6 cylinder very Audi like. 

I’m thinking of a 9-3 convertible for myself as a weekend summer cruiser. There are a fair number out there reasonably priced but the question is with the last 08-11 models in the $8-14k range a 3 series BMW also makes sense though the repairs can be pricier. 

“I need to replace my aging Saab 9-3 convertible with something similar””It’s European and GM” Or might as well look for a last edition VW Eos.

I had a Haynes book for my dads 72 Toyota Celica and 74 VW Dasher, sisters 77 Corolla and 80 Honda Civic. I found them to be quite comprehensive and liked the British terms, tyre for tire, bonnet for hood and boot for trunk lid.
But for my American vehicles I stuck with the factory service manuals because they are…

Radio delete? Probably dealer installed. A friend of mine has a BRZ the stereo in it is a Pioneer. 

Most any car in British racing green is fine by me. BRG on a BRZ! 

Texas governor Abbott happens to be in a wheelchair yet he opposes the ADA as big government. He'd probably cheer Richard Widmark in the film Kiss of death. 

Adding a shooting brake model would be neat. A modern 1800ES.

I’m amazed it too Dingell so long to support auto safety measures. After all a lot of this technology is designed and manufactured in his district and state. The first article on auto safety appeared in the Nation in the 50's, a few years before Unsafe at any speed. NHTSA passed in 1966 and GM had a brief tryout of air…

I grew up in suburban NYC. No one would even think about putting on black face. Kurtis Blow was from the Bronx and if you dressed up as a rapper or Michael Jackson you wore the outfit that’s it.
I was a young lad back in the late 60's early 70's no one in their right mind would dress up for Halloween as say a Manson…

Yet the likes of Trump and Gaetz will mouth pieties about how concerned they are about crime victims.

I've been waiting for the Me too movement to finally catch up to aging rockers. Steven Tyler was the first on my list. 

No one who refers to themselves as a Democratic Socialist is advocating for the nationalization of industries just a social and economic structure more along the lines of Canada, Europe and Scandinavia. Nor are there folks who are supportive of the current regime in Venezuela which has been essentially an…

Also a Two door Ram R/T or SRT would be cool.
