Paul: I couldn't believe this. I was walking into Trader Joe's to buy yogurt and saw this. In California, no less. So I scrambled back to my car to get my disposable camera I keep around. Do you folks have Trader Joe's out East? Ok, hope you will have a great birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

A drive between Portland and Seattle yesterday netted a lot of sightings along I-5, most of them obviously going the other way (south)...that's how I got to spot them. First and foremost, a LOT of new Fusions. Unbelievable. But no Milans. A 1988-ish Coupe De Ville, burgundy, in perfect condition...meaning that their aluminum V8 (4.5 IIRC) can go the distance. Alongside me, a new silver Lincoln MKS. Beautiful. $h!, no perfect condition Cutlass Supremes or Grand LeManses from the mid-70s were spotted. Also, the LaCrosse, which now has about 6,000 miles, delivered 31.67 mpg (62 to 65 mph, on cruise) between Portland and Tacoma.

No. I haven't. What did he say, more or less?

I like visuals, too. But I also like numbers/stats. Is there any longevity data on the 3500/3900 versus the previous 3100/3400? All 3500 and 3900 V6s (Chevy) feature VVT, right? Also, is there a longevity difference between these units and the 3800 V6? I didn't want to deal with this "issue," so I defaulted right back into another 3800 V6.

I checked out the MSN web page today and got a more realistic account of the earthquake in Haiti, with its magnitude of 7.0. First, I was not aware that there was such a change in potential seismic activity from Florida (essentially nil) to a relatively nearby Caribbean island. Regardless, the amount of devastation is mind-boggling. I was sitting there thinking about how I bitch and moan about what isn't right while people out there are trying to survive in the most deplorable conditions. I plan to keep the Haitian earthquake victims in my prayers and will also make a small donation via one of the Catholic charities. I know that the Masses typically pass around another collection when disaster relief is needed. So, if, in the grand scheme of things, you are able to part with a few dollars, that's great. If not, please include the Haitians in your thoughts and prayers. I know that looking through the articles and seeing pictures of Port-au-Prince in shambles were heart-wrenching, as were the New Orleans post-Katrina pictures.

No, the consequences would complicate things too much. If I do see a 75 or 76 Cutlass or Grand Le Mans coupe, I invariably stop the driver and ask him or her about their car...and how much they want for it! However, the last car I had a parking lot conversation over was a recently purchased Ford Fusion 4 cylinder. The woman who drove it was raving about it. But theft...nah...

Arizona (where Moltar hangs his hat)

It is generally in very good condition. I wax it twice a year (that reminds me). When you get close to it, there are some parking lot dings. Thanks, Frank. I like recording my travels with photos and really like seeing others' travel photos here when they post them.

Congratulations! Taking a trip to celebrate...or staying local?
