As rare as sand on a beach.

He posted the car was "Rare"

Daylight savings time jacks with us here. I hate it. We didn’t start that until 2010 and it’s all jacked up since

I don't remember when Norway started it, maybe like 30 years ago. But since I lived to far north we have little light around Christmas.

Now that I look at it, maybe it’s a Taurus SHO. I didn’t see anyone calling it “rare”.

Besides stupid expensive, parts are very rare,

Somebunny shootin' at wild pig across the road I'm guessin' at this time of day.

Were I come from we had twilight from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, and darkness the rest. June was a little puzzled about that. We had more light in the summertime.

Bill

Yeah, and in Summer you were just the opposite...light until midnight and twighlight for the rest of the short night. I remember drinking beer in Helsinki at midnight and it was just getting dark. By 3 am, it was getting light again.

 

[Ddaddy]

Just because parts are rare and expensive doesn’t mean the car is. It may be a 2020 model.

I ran into that "It's too new" issue on my GMC many year ago. The ICM failed at 4 months old. "6 weeks to get the part" they tell me. I pointed out that they had 30 trucks just like it in their storage area out back. One call to the GM district rep and miraculously my pickup was fixed the next day.

Reminds me of the winter when ford ran out of ficms.

Back lot was full of dead fords.

Far more light and less darkness where I come from than in Helsinki.

The first picture, "Midnightsun" is taken at midnight sharp, and you can see how high the sun is. Unfortunately the camera makes everything dark, but you know how much light it is outside when the sun is at that height.

The winter picture is a little before Christmas, or when it is as it's darkest. But it is taken at noon, when it is the most light.

The picture taken at 12:42 is actually 18 minutes before the sun is in north since it is at north at 1 am with daylight saving time. And since it is July 13 the sun is getting low. At July 26 it is totally gone during midnight. The first day it is above the horizon at midnight is May 19.

The third picture is from out at the coast where I grew up, and the big garage is mine.

Yep. My 1996 Ford F-150 had a power window motor failure shortly after I bought it with the window stuck down in Winter...and it took them 6 weeks to get a new replacement motor. It cost them a rental car for the entire time until it was fixed under warranty.

Yeah, yeah. Go price a loaded new Ford Fuaion or a Taurus SHO out the door with taxes and all included and get back to me...

[Ddaddy]

They are both around 40 grand. Not inexpensive. Not when Nissans can be had for less then 20. 45 for SHO.

Like I said, the KIA is just an average price these days.

And what kinda comparable new Nissan can you get for $20k?

 

[MOPARMITCH]

We go out for breakfast. This is how the Viet women dress, to go out...

 

[Bills65Dart]

Does more Mopar people also have a Ford than a GM ?

Bill

 

[zkx14]

My Neon has a lot in common with that car. It’s almost the same color. Has 4 doors, tires, seats, windows...And my car is worth about the same as his headlight.
