  1. Rear window is too small...just looks silly.
  2. They could do an extended wheelbase (maybe 145 inch?) Escalade ESV and call it the Fleetwood 75..
  3. My sister loves her '15 Trax LT. I'm thinking of getting an Equinox to replace my old Grand Cherokee.
  4. That's weird..I see multiple comments on that one, and if I scroll to the bottom, I see 'Reply to this topic' like on any other thread. There is also the blue-green 'Reply to this topic' button in the upper right at the top. Maybe you are blocked from commenting?
  5. It is interesting to notice the car mix differences in the Cleveland area vs Phoenix area....I see a lot more domestics in general, and a lot more Kias...inexplicably. Lots of Honda products, which makes sense as Honda has a long history in Ohio. And rust--even on 5-10 year old cars, something I didn't see in the desert void (paint fade and oxidation is the thing there). I see the usual silver, gray or black Audi, BMW, M-B, Lexus and Infiniti models in the ritzier areas, just as I did in Scottsdale.

  7. Eminence Front is by The Who, from the 1981 album 'It's Hard'. I remember re-discovering this song in the trailer for the movie 'Time Code' about 20 years aog... Gimme Shelter is also by the Rolling Stones, and featured in at least 3 Martin Scorsese films..
  8. Was a cold, sunny morning in Cleveland...saw a new VW Beetle Dune in a delicious mustard color. Also a blue w/ white stripes current Mustang Shelby GT350 covered in slush and road spray, bombing along.. saw a white '91-ish Grand Prix GTP the other night, lots of rust...
  9. Been listening to a mix of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Prince this afternoon...in a '70s-80s mood.
  10. Enjoyed going to the beach today...though it was 30 degrees and sunny w/ snow on the ground. Edgewater Park, Cleveland on the Lake Erie shore...
  11. There is a grilled cheese sandwich shop chain here, one of their varieties is a bacon mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich...delicious.
  12. I don't think so....I don't like the cheap Jeeps. I have thought about another Grand Cherokee, but want to keep the monthly payments low for a couple of years...part of a bigger strategy. And I have an existing relationship w/ my local (Phoenix) Chevy dealer...so leaning towards getting a Chevy next month.
  13. Got plenty of the white stuff here....
  14. Probably just a Photoshop someone spent 5 min on, adding the tiny license plate and badge. Note that it's LHD>..
  15. Morning randomness...ade it from the hotel in Independence to my house in Seven Hills (2.5 miles) this morning in the Passat rental car. Driveway has probably 4-5 inches of snow in it. Got the snow shovel out and cleared a path for the mailman and the ADT guy that's supposed to show up this afternoon...first time I've shoveled snow in close to 30 years... man, i'm out of shape. Got to get a snow blower.
  16. Good to hear...my Jeep is at 170k and I think I need to replace it before my move from AZ to CLE. It's served me well for 16 1/2 years, but it's time for a new car, thinking of an Equinox as a cheap runabout for a few years.. I didn't realize you were in Akron, Hyper, or I forgot it. I grew up in Steubenville and the New Philadelphia area, spent 6 years in Kent for undergrad and 1st round of grad school....moving back to NE Ohio after 23 years away, I'm moving to Seven Hills, off of Rockside Road and I-77. Got a bit of snow outside this AM...
  17. Reliability? Mileage? Ok in snow (not sure what part of the country you are in)? Just general livability impressions...
  18. Dining
  19. I'm surprised Mitsu is even in the US market anymore..they seem so invisible in recent years.
  20. I like the styling..very clean...not trendy...I like the front end design in particular. The upright greenhouse is nice also, an actual useable trunk opening.
  21. My 1967 split level in NE Ohio suburbia. Loving it so far...
  22. I'm sorry to hear about your family challenges. I've been through a lot of it the last two years. My Mother's health had been in decline since 2014ish, I saw her once a year, she pretty much cut off all communication w/ my sister and I....she passed last March 12th, age 85....it was so odd, I felt just numb, not really grief or any other emotion..very strange. The aftermath of her passing was frustrating and difficult; time spent flying back and forth from AZ to Ohio and time spent in probate court (she died w/o a valid will--the will my brother presented was determined to be a fake that he made up, leaving everything to himself). All of that is behind me now (the estate was divided equally amongst the 3 siblings). It was easier in some respects when my Dad passed in 1999, he had a clear will.
  23. Photo. At lunch at Bonchon Chicken, hipster Korean chicken place in my new hood
