    Speculate what happened to this trailer ramp door (salvage)?

    Why didn’t you just ask the seller?

    Any Ghost Stories?

    I had one “ghost” story (more like clouds and cubes of light…long story) in my life before I got my current job. I’m a retired federal agent and now a campus cop. It’s a very enjoyable sort of fun job for me and a few co-workers who are at the same stage of life. There’s some very old buildings...

    Which domestic 3-row crossover would last the longest?

    I’d echo those who recommend Toyota and the person who suggested a larger GM product. Tahoe or Yukon, in particular. In defense of Ford, although I wouldn’t buy one, my agency uses many police versions of the Explorer and at least two in civilian trim. All are MY2015-2021. One is over 100k...

    The Solar Eclipse & The Path to Totality

    Lucky for you folks then. I’m a cop just outside Burlington, VT…we’ve got every set of hands we can on duty and have most officers pulling doubles just for bare minimal coverage of the roads. Highway department is assisting with traffic, fire and EMS at a few intersections. And it’s still utter...

    April 8th 2024 total solar eclipse

    We are neighbors, cheers! I reside very close to that area.

    Do you have a dream car today, on 12/4/23?

    Thumbs up for something practical I hadn’t heard of, that I could recall. Had to look that one up. The lines remind me of the Chrysler Crossfire.

    Hagerty Insurance

    I had the same experience beginning in 2016. Straightforward and easy process, took some quality photos and had my quote within a day. Never had to file a claim. I suspect a string of sky-high Barrett-Jackson closing bids prompted them to call me one year and offer to increase my coverage by...

    Best looking current model Chevy I have seen in years, and don't know what it was.

    Did you happen to see where the license plate was from? Maybe it’s something for the Mexican market? Being a 4Runner owner myself and cross-shopping many similar vehicles over the last 30 years, my only guess would be a circa-2009 Trailblazer SS, though that body style is now quite dated.

    Classic Scout is coming back

    I dunno… There were plenty still on the road when I was growing up. My much-younger wife was born in the 80s and had a Scout II as her second car…first was an M1008 when she turned 16…her father was great in that regard. We have been discussing a Scout II as a “toy” vehicle for a while now.

    Man rides bicycle 90 mi to stab someone

    Wow…so many questions not answered! Why did he ride a bicycle? Severe paranoia about operating a vehicle and being seen by people and LPRs? Vehicle is being tracked from a previous run-in with the law? Why not drive most of the way and bike the last ten miles or so— that would still allow some...

    Depictions of diplomatic immunity

    I’m a fairly recently-retired senior supervisory federal agent. As far as I knew it, diplomatic immunity was based on meeting conditions of admission. Committing a crime on US soil violated the condition and the person could then be placed into removal proceedings. Local court couldn’t...

    Which band is your favorite for their lyrics?

    Joe Jackson, Elvis, Tears for Fears, Faith No More.

    ETENWOLF T300 Tire Pressure Gauge

    I, too, grabbed one with the recent Lightning Deal. This is my first non-traditional (manual pencil style) pressure gauge so maybe I’m missing a detail… I haven’t been able to figure it out yet, but I noticed it will take two tries to get the accurate pressure reading. The first press gets me...

    Customer claim this air filter mod improves power.

    Naw, you need the proper Walmart adhesive emblems on the rear…maybe “Type R” would be fitting!

    April 8th 2024 total solar eclipse

    Jeffords, Catamount, and Centennial Lots at UVM are generally open to the public; those would work.
