Re: Must Haves
In Stephen King's novel Christine, one of the characters is reminiscing about his old car that he had bought when it was new. He says " The smell of a brand-new car. That's just about the finest smell in the world, 'cept maybe for pussy."

Re: Must Haves
What’s the rush to have a new car? 4 isn’t very old. Cars today have way more life in them than that. It's out of warranty now. And maybe I just like driving a new car. For years I drove old wrecks. After I was first able to buy my first new car, I like to stay in a new car. Maybe, after years of d...

Re: Must Haves
I don't think there's a new vehicle sold by any manufacturer these days in the US or Canada that doesn't have a/c and cruise control standard on the basest of base models. And if have to spend extra money on a package of stuff you don't want for satellite radio, just spend $100 or so and get one of...

Re: Must Haves
When I lived up north, I never had AC in my cars and never felt the need for it. But living now in south west Ontario, where the summers are hotter and spending about 6 months a year in Florida, I wouldn't want to be without it. But south west Ontario is a radio desert. So I need satellite radio. Cr...

Re: Must Haves
I have a base model GMC Acadia… it has cruise, satellite radio and AC. Everything else is basic. I believe the Acadia is also a big vehicle. Would I need a bus driver license to operate it? I suppose the base model Cadilac would also have all the features I want, but I just want an affordable, work...

Re: Must Haves
Have you considered a base model Chevy Traverse? And if you want to save $$$, see if you can still find last year’s model before the redesign. Made in Michigan and very comfortable vehicle. We drove the Buick equivalent 2 summers ago while on vacation and found it to be a great vehicle The Traverse...

I'm thinking hung jury. It takes a unanimous verdict to convict and a unanimous verdict to acquitMWmetalhead wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 6:36 pmThe jury will either find Trump not guilty or there will be a hung jury resulting in a mistrial. That's my prediction.

Re: WBZ's Dick Summer - RIP
I was a frequent, almost nightly listener to Dick Summer's unique shows on WBZ (1030) through the 1960s. https://www.bostonherald.com/2024/05/14/wbz-iconic-dj-who-had-an-overnight-boston-radio-show-dies-legendary-radio-personality/ I too was a regular listener to his program.

Re: Must Haves
I love the Grand Cherokee. But it's out of my league. It's what I would call a luxury SUV. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars extra for bells and whistles I don't need and wouldn't use. Like my father before me I've been a Chrysler guy all my life and still am. But my last three vehicles hav...

Re: Must Haves
My vehicle is coming up on four years old this month. Time to start shopping around for a new one. I don't need luxury. Just basic transportation. But there are a few nice touches I like to have. AC, Cruise control and Satellite radio. But it seems like, if you want any of those things they come as...
