Yes, definitely slower. I’ve noticed messages on the USPS website when tracking packages about significant delays due to the Holiday package increase and COVID 19 affecting staffing. The message on the USPS website: ALERT: USPS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME INCREASES AND LIMITED EMPLOYEE AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO DELIVERING THE HOLIDAYS TO YOU.

I like both models, could see myself in either. I esp. like dark color choices..I like the 300 in dark blue and dark red, the Charger in F8 green or that dark purplish red in particular...

I wonder how much the Ford F150 EV will weigh... 7500 lbs?

^ looks like a prop from an '80s sci fi movie...

I've worn Columbia fleece for probably 20 years..love their stuff...used to shop at REI when I lived in Colorado...North Face is good for the heavy winter parka stuff particularly.

AMT (long-lived model car brand)

Hour meters are a neat feature. I’ve seen them on heavy trucks and tractors. The WK2 Grand Cherokee had one in ‘11-13, was dropped for ‘14.

Yeah, that engine but not the name. I think offer the ESV LWB but w/ no third row--two throne buckets set back, w/ marble floor, etc, lots of customization options..

How fast is your connection? I've had mixed results w/ an Orbi mesh setup... I've got good wifi for the most part except for one of the upstairs bedrooms. I've got Cox Gigblast and get good download speeds for 2 people WFH on wifi and VPNs all day...lots of Teams meetings and streaming movies...

There is great food and a lot of great musicians from there...but it's an ugly, horrible state otherwise...

I loathe TexASS...shithole of a state. So full of itself...

My uncle Melvin and aunt Wilma were serial Buick owners. The ones I remember were a ‘73 Centurion 2dr, ‘75 Regal 2dr, ‘78 Electra, ‘81 Electra, ‘81 Riviera, ‘86 Electra, ‘87 Riviera, ‘92 Park Avenue, ‘96 Riviera, and lastly an ‘02 Park Avenue.. I’ve seen an old photo of them in the 60s with a ‘64 Wildcat. On the other hand, Wilma’s sister Alma and uncle Dave were Oldsmobile people. My uncle Paul once had a ‘48 Ford Sportsman convertible, an early Bronco, a ‘65 Mustang. He is now approaching 80 and has a late model Acura MDX...

Yeah, interesting in comparing the rooflines between the C (red/white 98) and B (blue 88). The B-body 2dr has a more rounded C-pillar and rounded rear window edges..

Interesting...would have thought it would have been the same as the other C-body coupes (98 and Electra). I know that the '61 C-body coupe roofline is different from the '61 B-body coupes (squarer rear pillars). I like the funky '61 4dr ht 4 window roofline also, w/ it's wrap around rear window...

Interesting comparison of the changes from '61 to '62... I think I prefer the slim C-pillars and big rear glass of the '61.

I remember the Caddy dealer in my neighborhood in Phoenix (Coulter) was pretty nice after their remodeling..they separated their Buick and GMC showrooms from the Cadillac showroom.

Yes, the Cadillacs are Coupe de Ville, and true, graininess is a separate issue. B&W is just so boring to look at...color makes the photos look real.

Subsequent generations of Escalades have definitely done a better job in differentiating themselves from their Chevy and GMC siblings than the first couple generations did. The very first Escalade was literally identical to the Denali other than grille and badging. Lexus has generally done a good job differentiating themselves from US market Toyotas...though the LX has always been pretty similar to the Land Cruiser besides the front end.

If I tried sitting on the floor or use a creeper to get under a car without a lift I'd be a world of pain the next day. My back just can't take that shit. I'd rather pay a specialist...that's how the economy works... I get paid for my specialized work product so I can pay others for their specialized goods and services...can't do everything myself.

Yes, ‘61. Only year with that roof and those taillights. Probably in Palm Springs. Here is a '62 for comparison.

I remember having an '03ish Park Avenue Ultra as a rental back in the day, a long weekend in Chicago in summer...I remember it being a very comfortable, quiet ride...a change from my usual Town Car/Grand Marquis/Impala/Intrepid rentals...

Neat to see those old pics in color, look so much more real than in grainy B&W..

Can't see the pics, but remember the movie and the car. I have the vintage Corgi diecast 1/64th versions along w/ a recent 1/43rd one.

Crazy indeed...when I lived in Phoenix, SWA was usually always the cheapest to places I would frequently fly (Denver, San Francisco, Cleveland)....

Saw a Buick like that yesterday, white also. A local independent repair shop has 3 older Buicks parked along the side of their lot--a late 80s-early 90s LeSabre 4dr (the really square ones), an early 00s Century, and a white PA like that. I wonder if the shop owner has a Buick fetish or a lot of older customers that have older Buicks.
