I thought it was, the rear window looks pretty slopey and it has a fixed B-pillar. I know there was a 2dr ht, was there a 2dr non-fastback sedan also? Or maybe not...this Special fastback below ooks different. Though that angle and lighting of the green one it's hard to tell.. (I think there were two different body series for '50 Buicks, like B- and C- bodies?) The stupid posts got merged...hate that feature sometimes.. Woke up a few min ago to this.. guess I put the snow thrower away too soon..crazy, was about 62 here yesterday and 73 down in Athens.

Those late 40s-early 50s frumpy humpies are pretty wild.. I kind of like the '50 Buick look.

A pic of my Jeep in a parking garage in Athens, Oh about 5 hours ago. Drove 8 hrs round trip though lousy weather for a concert Sat evening. 3 1/2 hrs of rain driving down there, 60 degrees and damp on the OU campus, then 4 1/2 hrs in torrential rain then snow on the way back. Wierd, going north on I-71 and I-77 all the snow plows were headed south. Parts of the freeways were barely one lane clear, driving at 25-30 mph w poor visibility. Jeep performed great, first real winter driving I’ve done since living in Colorado 11 years ago... On the way down, in a lull in the rain saw a red C6 Z06 and a yellow C7 running together on I-270...on the way back, saw many vehicles off the road, incl a dark color C7 sideways in a ditch off I-71... End of March and snow...ugh

Yeah, it's too bad about WOW...had them here in Cleveland for about a year...my sister used WOW last year when traveling to Amsterdam for work. I'm interested in going to Iceland, on my bucket list.

The Masterpiece is just a facelifted version of the current Mojave, which was sold here a decade ago as the Borrego...still has the same greenhouse I see... had a V8 and BOF... The Mohave is smaller than the Telluride, which is smaller than the new Explorer...(new Explorer is Durango sized).

That may be the best looking of the new generation of GM trucks..I like that blue, brown and the dark red.

Clever plate...I've thought of getting 'NO CUBE'. A lot of people wouldn't get understand it, though.

Lol..close, that's the pre-facelift 11-13 GC..and an Overland.

I ran across an FB post the other day on the Jeep FC...they were sold in the US from '56-65, then Willys sold or licensed the tooling to Mahindra, where they were built for several decades in India, including a passenger van and minibus version...

Cool...never programmed on anything like that, my first experiences were BASIC then Pascal on TRS-80s in high school...then in college got into C and UNIX, working on a variety of workstations...even did COBOL on a Vax green screen..

Working in the remote office for a while today.

I find w/ my dealer it's a couple hours minimum with an appointment. I usually take my laptop and sit in the lounge and work. Sitting in a doctor's office waiting room working now.

I have heard a variety of good and bad about them...I've used AWS and other products for years, so I know their technology is solid. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be ready for a change of scenery. I like being back in NE Ohio for now but there are pragmatic reasons I'm here that will eventually be worked out and I'd be open to moves down the road..I do miss some aspects of living in the West (not the desert).

I need to watch it...I've been a long time off and on F1 fan..I really enjoyed the documentary '1' from a few years ago, along with 'Senna' and 'Rush'...

Living in the Seattle area, have you done a gig at Amazon? Recruiters at Amazon are always pinging me about opportunities with AWS and their other enterprise products...

I really never got much into video games as a kid and teenager in the 80s, but became fascinated by software and making it all work..programming languages, operating systems, compilers..first with a Commodore 64, then TRS-80s, then UNIX workstations in college and grad school. Though I did contemplate becoming a math major and becoming an academic before getting into web development in the mid 90s..

I’m sure. I would think programming would have been difficult in the space constrained earlier years...not to mention the punched card user interfaces.. I do remember working with green screen terminals in college..

Here's some fun old ads... Had I been born a decade or so earlier, this one below could have been me.... a cool dude working on a Cray Supercomputer... Or working here...Lawrence Livermore Lab in the 70s...

Pic taken last year just before Xmas. It reminds me I need a haircut again..

Dreary gray day outside that still looks like winter, but saw a couple sweet newish Mopies out rumbling around...a green Charger SRT and a black Challenger SRT, one behind the other going down a frost-heaved potholed major street near mea..

The 86/BRZ sounds like it would be a really fun backroad car for Ohio's twisty backroads. Though I'd probably enjoy a Miata more w/ the top down. But would have to deal w/ 60-90 min of freeway to get to my favorite back roads.

Getting an oil change soon on my Jeep. Been almost a year and 6000 miles since the last oil change.

I wonder if they will do a regular 1-series sedan eventually...something comparable to the A-class sedan.

Listening to jazz artist Grace Kelly...got turned on to her music by this track 'By The Grave' that is the theme music for Michael Connelly's podcast 'Murder Book'....would fit in well with my Crime Jazz compilation CDs.

And vice versa, doesn't VW own a majority stake in Porsche?
