A) I don't see a lot of these Insights anymore. Even if reliable I wonder if people who purchased them put a TON of miles on them as that would make sense. They're neat from a historical perspective and I think cars like this are easily overlooked.
B) This person annoyingly parked horribly, I think just so they could have room to setup their bags and shoes. It of course lead to the cascade of bad parking because people couldn't fit in the spot next to it. Breakdown of society because one person was inconsiderate. Not sure if USAC sticker is a correlation...

2 spottings for the price of one while waiting at a stop sign right in my neighborhood.
Heard the Chevelle coming 3 blocks away due to my favorite lumpy cam sound and the sweet sounding exhaust. Maybe flowmasters or something with a deep tone. Pretty sure it was a 454 version
Then coming the other direction I hear that familiar buzzing noise of some kind sport car and here comes a Mcclaren 570 (just saw one last week too ) but I LOVE this blue.
FWIW If I had my choice I pick the chevelle very time.

I appreciate the feedback. I read online about more bad than good experiences. Sounds like Icebiker found a decent dealer.

RAPTOR, I never understood why some tie thier bikes down like a MX. More rub wear to the bike than alternates.
Joined some friends at Das Laufwerk Euro Rally today at Hunter Mountain’s Oktoberfest. What an awesome day. All European marques welcome, though majority were VW and Audi. Handful of Bimmers, Porsches, and a 458. Apparently yesterday the Porsche club of Albany came by, but we were riding Elm Ridge that day ;-).
Interestingly no British marques and only one Swede. A lot of the VWs and some Audis were running bags. I don’t quite get that niche but it’s all good. The food and drink at Oktoberfest was great too. Leaves were at peak. We did a run through the gorge as part of a train of 20-odd cars, and on the way back my buddy (Sakhir F80) and me (F83) did a private backroads jaunt on some very smooth and twisty roads, chasing a Miata that really knew how to drive, and ended up in Woodstock. Totally worth the 2 hour drive. We’re planning to return next year. You should consider it to!
