Replying to: mark156 (Nov 19, 2008 3:19 pm) That's good of you! I think almost anywhere in New England (not sure about Greenwich CT), a brand new Rolls or Bently would go over like a lead baloon. As would talking about how you can see your gas gauge dropping rapidly while you're driving......(unless you're complaining about it). |

Replying to: fintail (Nov 19, 2008 8:04 pm) I'll get that sometimes with my '79 New Yorkers, from people who aren't exactly auto-savvy. My roommate's cousin from North Carolina was up visiting about a month ago and he saw one of them and the first thing out of his mouth was "Oooooh, Good LORD look at that Cadillac!!" Well, this guy isn't just country, but he's like that episode of the Waltons where their relatives from the country came to visit sort of country...so I didn't bother to tell him that it was a Chrysler. Or that it cost me $500. Oh wait, this was the 5th Ave that caught his eye, so that was the $900 one!

Replying to: bumpy (Nov 20, 2008 2:13 pm) Gas was pretty cheap back in 1979. I spent  $200 on a starter, a lifter, and a couple of hoses. The front end needed about everyting replaced, so of course I left that alone ...  It really was a nice car. Engineered and built very well. I still wouldn't mind owning a '66 or '67 GS.

I agree that Hyundai is making a much better product these days at an affordable price. It's a perfect car for a graduating college student and really, it's the least we can do for our kids. Heck, the car even comes with XM radio which neither one of us has! I'll be helping her break it in to make sure all is well before she leaves for her internship in Orlando the end of December. Also, need to teach her about taking care of a car...little things like checking the tires and knowing how to put more in if necessary and oil changes and such. Luckily we're only about 3 hours south of her and the wife has already let me know that there will be frequent trips up to see her baby! The Sandman
