We've discussed this quite a few times. Worth a look.

Well, one thing's for sure, Doc's not buying it for the interior accouterments. "Spartan" come to mind.
A/C work?
Looks good & solid for 1k, nice find.

Water Cooler / Civil War Fades as an Attraction

I used CW as filler history pages for the coastal tourism sites, but wondered then if interest hadn't already faded.

I've never cared much for GMC products, but that's mostly because of the dealership. Overall, GMCs feel cheap on the trim, but the basic models hold up well mechanically and I see a fair number of them around on the farms. I usually end up going Dodge (now Ram for pickups) for the overall value, as they are usually priced better competitively against Ford. My daughter just bought a Ram, and they love it. One thing about Dodge (not Chrysler), they get the interior accouterments best-in-class for the money. I was going to leave Dodge once Fiat got involved but bought 'one more time' because of the rave reviews by uber-mechanic friends of the Pentastar drivetrain. Glad I did, as the 2015 Grand Caravan is the best riding vehicle I've owned. Gets great mpg for its frame size.
If you're going to own it forever and drive it until the wheels fall off, you might pay for the Toyota Tacoma, as Toyota still gets the 'longest life' reviews.

Web Development / Re: Static web - back to the roots?
« on: May 25, 2019, 07:38:27 PM »
I open pages nowadays that ScriftSafe blocks as many as 40 outside page elements. On brand-name sites, I almost never see less than 20. I can usually get the page running by turning on 2-4 of those. It's ridiculous.
