I love the idea of a 68-72 midsized Buick.

He seems to really like older B-O-P vehicles and he also seems to have a long association with Pontiac products going up through his family tree. He filled the shoes of the resident curmudgeon and I mean that in a nice (humorous) way. Since I've been called pedantic a time or two, and people think it's weird that I remember so many details about stupid $h!+, I'm guessing I fill the shoes of the resident pedant.

Have you ever heard of the Chevrolet Bolt? It's $26,500 before a $7500 rebate = $19,500. The Bolt EUV is about a grand more so that, too, can be had for about $20k. The Nissan Leaf qualifies for $3,750 of the federal rebate and brings the 28k Leaf down to ~24k.

I wonder if he will ever finish his '59 Buick..would love to see pics of it when finished. I like the idea of a vintage Buick..I wouldn't mind having a '80s Regal Grand National or T-Type or early 80s RWD C-body Electra.

I don't think he ever will. He seems fixated on vintage Buicks, not sure modern cars have much appeal to him.

I'd like to lookup those numbers as well because I doubt they'd be getting credits from Ford. They have a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version of everything they sell and they have a few EVs. I have no clue what the regulations are on this, at this point. I'd assume a lot of those credits are coming from Stellantis, as they still hardly have anything truly fuel efficient.

Economically stated, as is usually the case. With the exception of a Mediterranean climate in many parts of Calif., and for which there is a very steep "sunshine tax" for the roof over one's head, what you say is true.

I know. The nicest year round climate I’ve seen is San Diego.

I agree. BTW What is Baltazar doing these days? I know Ive read a post of yours not so long ago that you talk to Baltazar from time to time. Not often I know. But I do wanna know how he is dong and if he will evah come back? I miss him.

The ideal weather across an ideal year: - 3 months of summer - 1 month of winter - 1 month of spring - 7 months of autumn (and peak color)

Is there a market for used vinyl, meaning old school record albums? I've been going through family stuff and found some. If so, where would you sell them (flea market/swap meet, other) and what's a way to gauge a reasonable price for an item?

Would love this car built with todays quality of a CT Blackwing and an AWD electric powertrain.
