Yeah..it does look like a GTO....kinda stands out from the rest of those pedestrian sedans and wagons. Is that an airport? It's not an airport but the Northern terminus of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel at Cape Charles VA @ the foot of the Delmarva Peninsula. My wife calls it the "Bridge-Tunnel-Bridge-Tunnel" since it goes underwater at several points to allow big ships to use Hampton Roads. Stephen is right, those (non-functional) scoops are an easy way to distinguish the Goat from the LeMans from a distance. Fintail is right too, the photo was likely shot in '64 or early '65. A few years later any group of cars this size would certainly have included a VW, Volvo or something else from across the ocean, you are looking at the end of Detroit's Golden Age. I'm not sure of the Dodge behind the Poncho, it could be a '58 or '58. Note the open position of the rear tail window in the '59 Ford Wagon. A/C was far from universal in that era.

Honestly I don't know what my threshold would be for a commute. Back in 1994, I looked at a few houses on Kent Island, Maryland, across the Chesapeake Bay. Found an old farmhouse that I fell in love with. It was 38 miles from work. It was a pleasant drive on a nice Saturday afternoon, with the real estate agent doing the driving, but I realized that I'd get tired of that commute really quickly. It would probably be 50 minutes on a good day. Then there's the summer beach traffic, which can gridlock around the Chesapeake Bay bridge. And I'm sure that bridge could be a real nailbiter in an ice storm! The condo I ultimately bought was about 12.5 miles from work if I took the most direct route, which had more traffic lights. The way I took was more like 14. Usually took 20-25 mins to go in, 25-30 to come home. It didn't seem too bad at the time, but nowadays it takes me about 7-8 to get to work and maybe 10 to get home, so I've gotten a bit spoiled. Back in 2002, I thought about moving down to southern MD. At the time, it seemed like you could get the same house for about half the money in the places I was looking. I was thinking something like a modest 1200 square foot or so split foyer, etc, which would've been around $250K in my neighborhood, I could get for around $125K down there. Sounds like a nice savings at first, but the killer was that it would've probably made my weekly commuting time jump from about 4 hours to 14-15! And my daily round trip would've gone from 28 miles to about 120. The wasted time, extra fuel, and wear-and-tear on the car would have offset that mortgage payment very quickly. I think my threshold is still around 1/2 hour. And as long as the traffic is moving, that time can go by fairly quickly and stress-free. Unfortunately, at rush hour it usually isn't! If I was in a position where I could cut back my hours to, say, 2-3 days per week, I'd consider a longer commute.
Wiring Harnes-2003 Oldsmobile Alero
by eleykimberly on Mon Oct 13 08:56:55 PDT 2008
On September 17, 2008, the wiring harness on my Alero caught on fire, while driving the road. It started smoking, so I immediately pulled to the side of the road, cut the ignition switch off, and jumped out the car. The fire department came, and after looking under the hood of the car, and checking inside, they're solution was to take it back to the car dealer ship. I only had the car for four months, so that's what I did. The car dealer transferred me to their auto repair shop, which they explained that the warranty wouldn't cover the damages, because it wasn't a mechanical problem, but just a electrical problem. My insurance company wouldn't cover it, because it wasn't in a collision. The repair shop explained that it was a malfunction within the wiring harness itself. I'm still paying payments on a car that I can not drive. I have called the oldsmobile recall center, which they are doing an investigation on. The car dealer, Drive Time, out of Chesapeake, VA are giving me the run around. They claim to refer me to the total lost. The repairs, with labor, the diagnoses, and taxes, all together is $3,533.45. That's another car, which I feel that this shouldn't be my responsibility. Then I did some research on 2003 Oldsmobile Aleros, that there are many recalls on these cars. I'm waiting on the total lost department to call me, which I haven't got a call yet. I have been in a rental car for four weeks now, and my insurance company has went to my limit, and now I'm paying out of my pocket, which I'm out of funds, and don't know what else to do.

From THAT perspective, it's a good idea assuming the infrastructure could be put into place quickly. Speaking of infrastructure, I've read that Pickens has acquired a pipeline right-of-way in TX that he is seeking regulatory approvals for. I'd be skeptical of his claims and those of Chesapeake Energy, as well as the oil & gas industry. Remember these are the same folks who brought you $4.00 gasoline. ;)
Places that install remote starter kits in VA
by hokiemo on Sun Aug 31 21:00:16 PDT 2008
Does anyone know of a reputable mechanic or auto place in the Hampton Roads(Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown, Norfolk, Va Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, etc) area who installs remote starter kits? If I buy a remoter starter kit(aka bypass module) I won't be physically able to install it myself. I don't have the directions included with the kits so I don't know if your average shadetree mechanic can handle this or if it is best left to someone who works with car/audio installation and the like. I have tried Googling Passlock along with my area and only get hits on car dealers selling used cars who are touting the Passlock as a if it were a good thing instead of a nightmare. Thanks for any and all advice and information in advance to this post and my previous one where I posted before signing my name. Danny Moses Yorktown, VA 2002 Impala Security light came on while running for the first time today...and I know what is in my future and am trying to be proactive for once.

Mine is pretty accurate, usually within 1/10th of an MPG. Just got 24.9 mpg in mine doing about 50/50 city highway. So far this tank it says 25.6mpg from mostly highway, but I was stuck on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge last night in that traffic since that tractor trailer drove in to the water (wild).
