    New member Richtoon here saying hello and thanks for having me aboard! My credentials: my 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, 65,000 original miles and yes, it's my daily driver. Way cooler than the SUVs I've been driving the last several years since we got a dog. Found this one in Maine last June....bought it from the guy who bought it from the estate of the original owner. I've already been offered more than I paid for it but where am I gonna find another one like this! Interior is as clean as the outside and it's been dead-on reliable all through this awful winter we've had in the northeast. Look forward to another fun summer with this old girl!

    English for foreigners must not be easy. One wants to pronounce it "Connect-ti-cut", like it's spelled. But, has to end up saying "Connetikitt" like evryone else says or stand out as an oddball :49:

    It's Connett-ih-kutt. The second "C" is silent...like the silent "P" in swimming!

    He passed the first test. The inevitable avatar with photographic signature will be the 2nd and final hurdle
