curbside classic outtake suddenly it s 1992

Nothing very out of the ordinary here, except sometimes the ordinary is somehow actually noticed, like when all the cars are about the same vintage. In 1992, all of these could have been bought new, except the CRX, which was just one year past being replaced by the del Sol. Close enough. The other direction follows:

"With a new baby, we will probably be looking for something bigger within a year or two." Thanks to the miracle of cellular reproduction, barring some very rare genetic defect of disease, rest assured the imp will increase in size and, the sooner you teach the mini-human to spit it will leave behind that messy drooling stage.

MAN DAMN... What I WOULDN'T GIVE.. for a ACCORD wagon from 92... Heck.. when the car passed.. I was searching around for another one... driving my wife's car for a bit... Found one at a Local Saturn shop.. for 2g, car didn't look like in the best of conditions. Body looked decent, shocks were average, miles was 240k, my wife looked at me as if I was OUT OF MY MIND. Man.. Id love an Accord wagon.

ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
Proud2BUnion I typically recommend that no matter what make or model you purchase used, just assure that is HAS a prior salvage/rebuilt title. Best "Bang for your buck"!
