I think we know the same people. This one has a perfect interior and it comes with a box with undamaged side indicator lights!

You don’t have to! I’ll take almost any offer.

Seriously. It needs a new steward. DM me if you’re interested.

Mine has gone through two! This is a U.S.-specific version with U.S.-specific trim that debuted eight days before Renault sold AMC to Chrysler and left the U.S. market.

Fun story: that photo is from when the CR fleet Highlander Hybrid broke down at the grocery store, and I had to walk home and drive the Medallion there to rescue my frozen foods.

The CT DMV currently has it listed as an Eagle because they, in fact, do not believe it is real.

It was registered in CA when I bought it, but I would generously describe the exhaust as “not stock,” and from the smell alone I think the 300 or so miles I put on it undid 10 cumulative years of Prius ownership by a factor of ten.

That’s my elevator pitch!

A Renault Medallion at a grocery store

You know you want to buy my Renault Medallion. There’s only about 20 left on the road, so you’ll be able to brag that you picked up an ultra-rare European car that was previously owned by an automotive journalist. (Leave out the specifics.)

The information in your report suggests that Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) may have been aware of this issue more than five business days before filing a report with NHTSA. Please be reminded that under Federal law, this agency is to be notified of all safety defect and/or noncompliance decisions within five business days. 49 CFR 573.6 Significant civil penalties can be assessed for this violation.

I've never seen this automaker-focused text in a public recall report before www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-rec...

Between rentals and the ones that frequently ended up in the New England press fleet back when I got loaners, it would have to be the 2011-2023 Dodge Charger.

Rarest new car I’ve ever reviewed. The range is terrible but also it has no EV-specific features that make it easier to live with. I’ve seen a handful in use as loaner cars at Mazda dealerships in Europe.

appliance brands are real

A JLR dealer is the only time I’ve encountered a salesperson who countered my offer with a lower number.

And sadly we are losing the Soul (the script writers were really lazy this season)

Hitchcock!!! Now that’s a true Connecticut original.

I bought a region-free Philips years ago, I think it's a DVP-3560, so I could do the same. Lots of BBC stuff disappearing off BritBox.

That doesn’t look like a U.S.-format license plate

Shouting, “Voluntarily ceding your rights leads directly to their erosion!” out my car window at the pedestrian who refuses to cross and instead waves at me to drive through the crosswalk after I’ve stopped.

Wait, it’s called HBO Max again?

the Pontiac Aztek - which entered production in 2000 for the 2001 model year and was cancelled from the lineup in 2005 - lasted longer than the confederacy

Taking the day off and planting a tree

If I were to publish a print newsletter about bird sightings, upcoming hazardous waste collections, songs playing at the grocery store, and other daily goings-on in my odd, small town, do you think folks from far away would be interested?

Wow!

And now another reason not to touch the stuff: the strong possibility that you will end up plagiarizing, whether you know it or not. But it was the "that is going to go away" attitude that rankled the most. That's the tech credo: anything that takes time or I don't understand must be obsolete.
