BigW Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Buckwheat was Buckwheat from the moment I knew him. I think a former friend who worked for HERCO also knew him as that. Lots of problems lately, work killing me from heat, and got another car yesterday, meaning I got about 1-2 hours sleep and then was at work from 530 PM to 330 AM in that heat. '03 Jetta Wagon, a quantum leap up from my '95 GL sedan. The A/C works, it's really clean, handles better, the brakes and radio work, kile a dream, man. different from my old CRX, but I really, really like this car so far.

BigW Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Vw's rock. nuff said ( on my 3rd jetta) I had chronic issues with my A/C and a Radio antenna that didn't like working and a bad Cassette deck. 7 years, 81-82k miles, really it was pretty decent otherwise. For around here- better than a CRX-Si that got bullied in traffic. At least I got to run it on US 219 from Elkins to Lewisburg WV in the fall over a weekend judging gig- averaged 45 MPH with 3 pit stops. You look at that riad and realize how mountainous and twisty it was, I was bombin' along to average 45 on it. This Wagon I think with ABS and the automatic might be quicker....

I hope you started in Elkins to go down there...otherwise 81 to 64 is the way to go to Greenbrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Glory is a good deal. the artsy-craftsy stuff next to the band show are cool, and I can buy scads of jams, jellies, and italian sauces for family, which are really good. Can even get Quince, lemon Honey, all sorts of old school stuff there. And if you do the parade before the evening field contest- the kettle corn rocks. Anyone reading this out near the MD panhandle/Western PA end, Autumn Glory is really good if you like the scenery and eating your way through a festival. I think Ben and I ate our way through that Italian Street fair in Boston when we got to tour the USS Constitution and then were turned loose for a bit of time.

And not having the lines painted because they just resurfaced the one road down the mountain in the dark was fun too. Slam it into third, hit the high beams, and keep frosty, LOL.
