Pics. Still has the back glass that rolls down. I’m really glad that I got the portobello interior rather than settling on black

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Why was some other guy driving your new car? Was the salesman trying to go to use your new ride as a service loaner?Only drama was the salesman got into the passenger seat to show me the features. We filled it up and I headed home. There was a wreck on 24 and I was a good hour away when he called asking me if I saw another customer’s drivers license in the passenger seat. I didn’t see anything.
He called back an hour later and asked me to feel around and I found the other dude’s driver’s license in the space between my center console and the passenger seat. I was almost home and the other customer asked if I would turn around and come back…. Umm no.
The salesman drove to my house and picked up the DL. 3.5 hours each way because the guy was flying out on Tuesday. I offered to take it to FedEx on Saturday and overnight it if he paid for the shipping but the sales dude opted to come get it.

I miss Jim Gardner and the whole Action News crew. Fun fact, the house I grew up in was briefly owned by the late Gary Papa.
Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Salesman was talking with another family when my car came out of prep. He had the other guy’s DL in side pocket of his pants and apparently pulled his phone out and the DL fell out. I had no idea that he had anyone else’s info with him. Kinda weird but it is what it is. Just an unfortunate turn of events. He did arrive at my house around 1130 pm eastern (they are on central time) and had a 3.5 hour trip home. He was dropping off the guys DL after he made it back because the other guy was flying out on Tuesday and was freaking out. Stand up move by the sales dude to make it right.
Car had 4 miles on it when I left the dealership so no one had test driven it.
The color is also called smoky blue in some Toyota parts catalogs.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Update on the internet/cable service we were discussing a couple of days ago: I got my latest bill which reflected the expiry of a couple of discounts that were applied a couple of years ago. For a pretty basic group of TV channels and home internet it was just over $200 in worthless Canadian dollars a month and way too much.We were paying $240 a month for TV Cable, internet and $100 a month for Bell telephone. Over $350 a month with taxes.
.
Bell put in new Fiber Optic and said they'd give us all 3 for $140 a month. I signed up, they'd install it in one week.
My current cable company said they would give me a better deal. I said impossible.
He worked out to $125 a month for all 3. The Bell system is better, but I don't want to return my cable stuff and learn a new method, and people we know who switched went back to the cable company, friends had issues when they needed help, Bell has poor customer service, their prices skyrocket after the deal expires, their agents are in some country where English must be a 10th language.......the cable company has agents who speak English.
I am glad we didn't switch!

A Mustang is a monster, size wise, compared to a Cayman!The length of the hood takes some getting used too.

Re: Mystery car pix
Kind of in the middle of the pic, far R travel lane, in front of a Maverick is a then-brand new Camaro. Knowing Bellingham, some of these cars still exist.
