Everything I've read says they will support AA/CP. I'd LOVE a Scout but I'm not sure if I could swallow the price. I think it's a mistake to allow Chinese vehicles into Canada or the US. You're right. They only have children working in near-slave-like conditions. Good point. 🙄

Just a weeeeee bit off of the price of vehicle difference.. 6/32 is more than 20%. 2/32 is the legal wear marks and most street tires come brand new at 10-11/32. You've likely worn off 4/32 and have 4/32 remaining before the wear bars. If your tires are at 6/32, you're right at 50%.

Welp, I started a new job in December and I will be driving close to 20k miles a year now. 300/week just to and from work = 15,000 + other regular driving will easily net 20,000 miles in a year now.

Another neat Buick collonade variation was the '76 Century Indy Pace Car replica...t-tops, rear spoiler, covered quarter windows.

Triangular rear quarter windows on these vehicles were always Century models - either plain Century or Century Special, like the one you've shown. The Century Special was always restricted to the base odd-firing 231 cubic inch V6 ... and it was the loss leader I refer to. Stripped down models were sort of ugly. Their dashboard was simplistic and funny when it did not have air conditioning controls. Incidentally, with the upright nature of these cars, I can vouch for visibility being excellent through the opera window ... they really dialed in the necessary area ... and similarly okay in those with the triangular rear quarter window. It might have been less than okay in Grand Ams and Lagunas of those years that had louvers on those rear quarter windows. I really miss this span of GM midsize model years - maybe because life was simpler and there was less conflict in the world - and it goes without saying that I am probably their biggest aficionado on this forum.
