We have tons of license plates from past cars we have owned - they all seem to be vanity plates that are car specific. That's why I got RCKN on the Silver car - universal that can be transferred to the next car

LOL. The REAL Barovelli is Chico Marx, from the Marx Brothers. Always spoke with an Italian accent.

Will Work For Bandwidth. Implies let me surf the web at work. Funny for a Comcast manager perspective.



Unflattering picture of the car's back bumper. Someone, possibly a repo man, had put a hook in a slot in the unibody rail on the left side and pulled. It must have almost pulled the bumper off. It's ripped under the plate, and creased on the bottom.

The car has some history - I don't really want to know the truth. It was fairly dirty inside, kids/babies had been hauled around judging by the crumbs and rust from baby seat on the back seat. Had no plates, no key clicker and only one key, freshly cut. Has cosmetic issues such as that bumper, a section over the LR wheel well that got too close to a wall or post. Stereo won't load CDs. Ignition lock almost always thinks there's a key in it (chime goes off with no key, remote start rarely works). I believe it was a repo or at most an unfavorable lease return. Was a 'curb sale' orchestrated by a small used car store that had more pickup trucks & minivans that the Latino neighborhood of East Alisal favored.

But the car fax had no wrecks/damage and showed regular maintenance at the dealership. 54,000 miles. Paid less than $8,0000. I'm enjoying this modern day restoration. She will need tires at the end of summer. Next spring I'm going to get more serious with HP/MPG mods. So if I plan on replacing the back bumper I will look for one with twin pipe flares.

Now my car attention has to go to the Firebird. Needs an oil sensor, that's easy. Also needs a power window motor, that looks like it's gonna suck.

For Comcast deals, play the game. Get a promo price, cancel at end of the promo, repeat.
