    This would make a fantastic winter beater for New Hampshire and an excellent LeMons car.

    @☠Grяrяrяrяrяrяrя's 1997 Sonoma has gone an entire 198 miles...: Only problem is, it'd be rust in a few short hours.


    Whereabouts in NH are you, anyway?

    @FurtiveParsnip: True...they should have named this The Rust State. Alternatively, The Mosquito State or the Land of high property taxes and cheap booze would have worked also.


    I'm in Canterbury...a stone's throw from the beautiful NH International Speedway.

    @☠Grяrяrяrяrяrяrя's 1997 Sonoma has gone an entire 254 miles...: I still like Live Free and Fly Through Your Windshield, myself.


    I'm down in Jaffrey. If I piss in the Contoocook River, it'll flow north, then south in the Merrimack, and eventually pass... well, not quite to Canterbury. Almost, though.


    I took driver's ed up in Concord; I'm pretty sure I was instructed through your little town at some point. 'Tis nice up there, anyway, even if nobody knows you for anything but the Shakers.


    Maine's already got The Blackfly State covered. Between the moose that found its way onto my driveway (half a block from the center of town...) and the one that had a go at some New Yorker's pickup truck in Hampton, I think we might want to stick with that... though Maine might argue with us there, too.


    Fuck it. We've got loons. They're worth something.

    Hot damn, an honest ad written in English by someone who actually understands the spelling, grammar and punctuation rules, and not least of all, is engaging and interesting.

    @LifeIsBetterAtTheTrack: Remember, it's Canadian. So it's six metric speeds. I think that works out to four or five. To get metric you double it and add 30, so to convert back you halve it, and add 2, right?


    Yup. Five speed.

    So, if you just want to attract a woman's vaginal parts, you paint a car yellow, but if you want the whole woman, you've got to go gold? This leads to the question, what colours do you use if you want your car to be a cock or dude magnet?


    Also, my current car is white. But my girlfriend and I, we've been dating on and off for 8 years (even if we didn't know it), since high school, where I drove a green car? Was that my problem all along?

    Chick magnet...


    Maybe in Aurora, Colorado.


    These are pretty damned amazing in the snow, however. I've seen them go places I'd have bet they couldn't.


    A six speed transmission? Oh, I forgot to count reverse....

    @I may have a 35 mile commute with my beater Mercedes: Do you live in the Denver area? I live clear across from Aurora, in Golden, so I have even less reason to go there. Although apparently the hospital there has the only spine center in the area that will take my insurance, so one of these days I'll need to make the trip so I can get my backache checked out.

    @discontinuuity:


    Not anymore, unfortunately, but we had a house in Bailey, 'bout 45 mi SW of downtown Denver.


    Awesome country, and it was great to see Mt. Rosalie, with snow on it year 'round, on the way to work.


    Work, however, didn't work out.


    Until you've experienced it, the human mind can't quite grasp the concept of 48" of snow in 24 hours. After about 40", you start to get scared it won't stop.


    Never got stuck with my '94 Grand Cherokee V-8 w/Quadra-Trac, but there were times I thought I might be hiking in brogands. Not good.

    @I may have a 35 mile commute with my beater Mercedes: I've gotten used to that much snow. It makes it a bit hard to get around, that's for sure. But otherwise it can be a lot of fun. I was stuck at a ski resort (poor me) for a few extra days around Christmas in '07.
