  1. My Mother passed, age 85..16 years after my Dad. We were somewhat estranged, hadn't spoken much in recent months. Just kind of numb right now, not sure what to think...flying back there in a couple days.
  2. Sometimes a song lyric fits the moment so well.. "I got the call today, I didn't want to hear but I knew that it would come" Though technically it was yesterday... got to head back to Ohio this week and plan a funeral...and I just feel numb...
  3. A Jeep pickup could get me into a truck...oddly, I am thinking about a truck as my next vehicle, esp. if I get into more DIY stuff w/ my next house.
  4. I remember the van era from being a kid in the 70s, remember seeing lots of colorful ones around the Upper Ohio Valley ...my older brother briefly was into them, had a two tone green '70 Ford Econoline Club Wagon back in '78-79..
  5. Sitting at a light, I saw a gorgeous gold '66 Lincoln Continental convertible waft past, top down, 4 people out enjoying a cool sunny Saturday morning...
  6. SKOOL. How sick is this? Click to blow it UP! 2016_chevrolet_city_city-express.png Dang..that Nisvy van is seriously homely...
  7. That gray CT6 interior w/o wood (post #2284) is pretty blah, but the two tone w/ tan and wood one (#2296) looks very nice..
  8. Yes, it's quite clearly an MKX interior, from the steering wheel Lincoln badge, to the separate gauge pod pad, to the different vent shape (Fusion center stack vents are wider and shorter), and countless other detail differences..
  9. Mmm..Lamborghini Espada..only seen a couple of those over the years, at Concours shows.
  10. Yeah, that's because I lived in Colorado over a decade..I know the Rockies, but don't know about NC.
  11. Saw a white '63 Falcon Futura sedan in traffic yesterday in good condition...driven by a 20 something girl.
  12. Random observation--I noticed this morning the wiper blades on my sister's Trax..the left one is at least twice the length of the right one. I guess that is because the windshield is relatively narrow yet rather tall...
  13. I've looked into living in the mountains and doing remote gigs. Problem is the places in the mountains I really like (Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, other Co mountain towns) can be really expensive...even the smaller, less touristy places in the Rockies aren't cheap...
  14. Give me the 94hp/99tq version please. lol Back in the day I had an '84 Ranger 2.3L that put out a pavement scorching 82 HP... Now thats laughable My '84 Escort diesel had 52hp...and an AM radio. I could spin the front tires on gravel.
  15. Sweet...a buddy of mine that had an '11 Jetta diesel wagon recently traded it on a '16 GTI in the same color...going for a ride in tomorrow at lunch..
  16. I wonder if that 4dr version will be sold in Brazil..they have many high riding subcompact Chevys now...Onix, Classic, Prisma, Cobalt.. http://www.chevrolet.com.br/
  17. Scion iM. It looks like a big Yaris (actually is a rebadge of the Aurius which is a Corolla hatch)
  18. Saw a Mercedes Sprinter box truck with Bimbo Bakeries (US arm of a big Mexican company) livery in traffic this morning..don't see Sprinter box trucks (cab & chassis w/ a box body) that often around here..
  19. I wonder what they did w/ the Dakota tooling...only been 5 years..update the interior, change the front, put it back in production..
  20. The local Cadillac/Buick/GMC dealer recently built a separate showroom across the street for Buick and GMC to separate them from the Cadillac showroom (for the last 5 or so years, they were sharing the same large showroom space, after the Cadillac dealer bought the Pontiac/GMC/Buick dealer).
  21. I would hope so, considering the XL7 has been out of production for over 6 years....
  22. I really like the new Malibu. But I cannot resolve how the front end looks. But to reconcile that issue I reminded myself that driving the car, I wouldn't be looking at its weird front end. So the rest of the car is tasty and lickable. I've found the Malibu front end looks better in dark colors, and with a license plate (which they generally don't have here). The Malibu front end reminds me too much of the current Avalon (albeit w/ different detailing).
