I don't mind the Bentley, just a restyled version of the Audi Q7 really. The hideous one is the Rolls Cullinan. Bad, very bad.

^This was my dad, mom, sister, sister, me and my brother, next to our Pontiac Bonneville in around 1962. I think it was taken in San Francisco when we drove up from home in North Hollywood to see my dad's nutcase mother.

They bought another Pontiac Bonneville wagon in about 1970. It was an olive green. It would always overheat on trips towing our boat, Drambuie, to Lake Havasu
.

^Drambuie, in about 1966, on Lake Havasu.

I'm glad I wasn't waiting for 8 months for my car to have it burn up and sink.

Trivia question for you, Patricia. What drink is made from Scotch and Drambuie?

Magnesium Chloride. Very corrosive and used as a de-icer in many parts of Colorado including Lovelandand Dever. Ugh. The chrome on my Pilot is getting brown spots from it.

San Francisco is home to nutcases.

I've noticed that the Dodge/Jeep dealers lots are full of new inventory. We went by the dealer north of me a few weeks ago and the lot was packed and yesterday I went by the one south of me and the lot was full and they also have an annex lot which was full. I'm not seeing this with any of the other makes dealerships.

Well that explains me. My great-grandfather supposedly was a cabin boy from Portugal who stayed on in San Francisco. My grand father was born there on 8-8-1899 and my dad was born there in 1925. I'm half nut-case.


Polestar O2 anyone?

I think that has to do with where the cars are built/assembled. We bought a Grand Cherokee L a few weeks back and noticed the dealer had decent inventory.

When we bought our Volvo in January they had next to nothing on hand new, same for BMW.
