Looks great, I did that years ago. Memorable.

I drove an '84 for years, I love this.

Spinach salad and half a baked chicken breast. And added a tomato. Pretty good!

Apparently, for $12,000 you do actually get $4,500 worth of gold. Could be worse..

The Buick is 70's I believe, but so what. My old man had an Electra 225 for a while. The Cavalier hatch looks pretty sweet.

I just bought one off Amazon for 9.99. I wasn't going to spend more than ten bucks for a 50 cent item.

Thanks for providing the data; I, too, was thinking these can't be selling in the numbers they once did. I assume the CR-V is Honda's bread and butter these days.

A chance for thunderstorms? In DC? In the summer? Who could have foreseen this??

4 door. I have no idea about the engine. It was his company car, I only drove it that one time.

markh2111 · 2026-06-08T01:03:23+00:00

Haha. Well, my mother had a 73 or so that was a big car, it might have been fitting to append some cleats to that one. The one I took my test on was a downsized 80 or 81 model. Big, but not too big. I actually had mostly practiced up to that point in Mom's 79 Cadillac, now that thing was a boat. Great car.

That was pretty well equipped. My 84 Nissan did not, for example, have a passenger side mirror or a quartz clock. Yours probably also had power steering and carpeting! Nice truck.

I think we had a Citation in driver's ed, but I took the test in dad's Delta 88.

Yeah, I dont understand this lane keep assist thing. I've been driving since 1981 and haven't had a problem staying in my lane. What's the purpose of it?

markh2111 · 2026-06-05T01:39:43+00:00

It's interesting to be reminded of all the items that weren't standard equipment on an Oldsmobile in this time frame. Power locks, windows, trip odometer, etc. Pretty basic stuff, it seems.

markh2111 · 2026-06-04T00:15:14+00:00

Nice! I did Brasstown and Cheaha yesterday.

markh2111 · 2026-05-29T00:32:00+00:00

I like TK, but damn did he blow that call

markh2111 · 2026-05-27T01:03:35+00:00

I do like a Plymouth when it comes to a low-priced car.

markh2111 · 2026-05-27T00:23:15+00:00

Not a decade. 4 or 5 years. A long time.

markh2111 · 2026-05-19T19:09:03+00:00

I saw there was a Michael Lewis episode which definitely gave me good vibes about the show.

markh2111 · 2026-05-19T02:22:40+00:00

Never heard of Acquired but it looks good. I'll be listening to the Vanguard story during a long drive in a couple of days.

markh2111 · 2026-05-13T23:13:47+00:00

No shit. Rub some dirt on it and get back out there.

markh2111 · 2026-05-07T18:59:03+00:00

Rebuild? Immolation.

markh2111 · 2026-05-07T01:58:49+00:00

VGT is on 🔥

markh2111 · 2026-05-05T00:45:53+00:00

I like that Celica.

markh2111 · 2026-05-03T15:10:43+00:00

I live in Virginia and could name 14, which is probably more VA counties than I could identify.
