@pinkshinyalan: Sandwich, Massachusetts has a horse in the race as well.

@R-GTI: The only Massachusetts state Charger I've dealt with was an unmarked black car... that didn't look twice at my NH-plated ass as I coasted down to 7 MPH over, merged right, and let someone else pass (who also didn't merit a second glance). I like the way things are run down 'round those parts.

@Number_Six: Are you down wit' OPP?

@Dave Freeman: I can only assume all you folks mentioning your non-functioning overdrive have the M46, because I've heard of no such trouble with the AW70/1/2.

@smackela: Mandatory 'highest possible' fine, or mandatory 'lowest possible' priced convertible? Only one would be sufficient punishment.

@GTRbrian: Got an ex there, by chance?

@southernscrew: Paint 'em gold and you might fool a handful of visually-impaired folk into thinking they're Daytons.

@Ash78, lay them straight: In that both of them are inherently bad ideas and you end up dying a horrible, excruciating death? Sure.

@Nuke_The_Whales: I want the Amazon, so we're not really in competition. I'll try to get photos at some point - there's a few awesome old trucks that come through work. There's another Ford, a '69-ish GMC, a '72 Chevy... those three are clearly well-loved hauling trucks, but Rick's '66 is restored and amazing.

You know what you all need? You need a car that's got enough room to actually work on. Something with rear-wheel-drive, like, with real rallying heritage so you can kick out the tail on a gravel road, and damn good four-wheel discs so you can correct your mistakes. And if you hit a tree, you want to walk away, right?…

@Nuke_The_Whales: I don't have a problem with Prius owners, inherently - it's the folks who consider 'em a social or moral obligation who piss me off. Someone who does most of their driving in the city, doesn't care about driving, and shares the car, or who has an awesome classic car for the weekends, can go ahead and…

Lucky bastard!

@Kuang: damnelantra was once runner-up for COTD with a single word, and many of us still wish he'd won (if only so he could've set a record).

Well, actually I'd keep my current 244, alter the exhaust, and upgrade the stereo.

Nice! Here's hoping you have a little more conversation, a little less action.

@LTDScott: I've heard of those things. I understand they're rather dry, though.

@pidgeonsplatz: See, you're both wrong, because Sammy Johns is useless, Don McLean never knew when to shut up, and Mike Ness could take both of 'em with one broken arm and not even expect to use a handicapped space.

@brisbrd: "Chevy" is a '79 C10 Cheyenne with a built 350 or 400, two-tone paint, chrome horizontal-bar grille, lumpy idle, and lake pipes. "Chevrolet" is, depending on how charitable I'm feeling, either a white '96 Lumina with most of its paint missing or a rebadged Daewoo. Yeah.

@jalopnikfan: Really? Every day? That's an expensive series of tickets.

Well, why didn't I think of this?
