curbside classic outtakes shopping carts

Last minute shopping before a trip; where do I head? Walmart, of course, because of the Curbside Classics in the parking lot. No time for a full-on Walmart Concours today, but I do need a cart. Oh here’s a nice one that should do the job. And there’s another…

Two, actually. OK, must not get distracted. But then one has to walk by the handicapped parking on the way in…

I had seen it before, as it drove into the parking lot. The driver looked distinctly unhandicapped, physically anyway. Who am I to judge?

One the way out, I encounter someone who certainly doesn’t want to be judged.

This must be TTAC cars my family used to own day. 1st it's the Isuzu I-Mark diesel, my mom had a automatic and my dad a 5 speed. He also had a Chevette diesel 2dr 5 speed as a commuter car. The automatic eventually blew it's head gasket and they traded it in for the 1st 91 Saturn SL. My sister owned that same Corolla though a 77 silver 2dr base model 1200cc 4 speed with of all things; a manual choke. It was quite efficient and reliable. She drove it till the rust got to it and sold it. Back in the 70's my dad had that same 68 Valient in yellow w/ 3 on the tree. I learned to drive stick on it.

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"!
