There's a really nice Massey for sale in the neighborhood. It runs.

My daughter just paid big bucks to pass the MA safety inspection because one
of her tire pressure sensors was bad and showed up as a error code in her
soccer mom, Chrysler mini-van. (I call it her Egg-Mobile).

The MA state inspection is notoriously tough. Everything that the vehicle
was equipped with from the factory must work. If you have a car with a
fancier trim that includes additional lights, side markers or reflectors and
one doesn't work or is broken, it flunks, even though the same exact vehicle
in more vanilla form that doesn't have the extra lights, etc. will pass.

They did, however, get rid of emissions testing by running the car on a
dynamometer and measuring the exhaust gases. Now they just plug into the
car's computer and look for any error codes. Cars built before 2005 are
now exempt from emissions testing.

This really ****ed off a bunch of state authorized and licensed inspection
stations who paid big bucks for the installation of dynamometers in their
inspection bays. They are now tearing them out.

Good point.

I am not sure I am all for the gadgets and high tech, computer
controlled wizardry in cars.
KISS. I think about the '06 M5 I had (all two of them). They
probably represented the state-of-the-art in electronic, CPU controlled
operation that year, from the engine management systems to the
electronically controlled SMG transmission that operates the clutch
electronically.

They were both a disaster. Traded in the first one because it had too
many software "bugs". Transmission would freeze up in neutral. The
famous "Red Cog of Death" would appear on the driver's display and your
only option was to call a flatbed. Traded that in for one that had a
later build date that reportedly had the bugs worked out. Nope. Car
was a spectacular performer, with 500 hp and handling that could safely
rocket you along at over 200 mph if you were so inclined (I wasn't),
but the damn thing wouldn't move half the time due to a software
malfunction.

That's when I traded it for the Porsche 911TT. Porsche remains
somewhat "old school" and other than those electronics that are
absolutely necessary, it was a driver's car. I like that.

Ironically though, it was Porsche, back in the late 80's, that developed
the first tire pressure monitoring system, based on speed sensors on all
four wheels.

Car software problems. I have the two Lucernes, '07 and '08. On
occasion either one of them will lock the doors when you exit the
vehicle. When it first happened I talked with the local service manager
and they had never heard of it. Maybe a year later the same guy
confessed that they were now aware of the problem and the service guys
roll down a window just in case the car locks while they are working on
it. GM will not do anything about it.

It's a problem for me as we leave the keys in the car when they are
parked at home. I now carry a spare in my pocket.

Leave your keys in the car...while it's unlocked?

The town should put it up for bid - they are only going to get $100 or
so for it scrap.

'53 Massey's where the change over year for Massey. Massey-Harris
bought Ferguson and for the entire '53 run, the company was called
Massey-Harris-Ferguson - you never knew what you were getting and
from which company.

However, there are Massey collectors out there who might be interested
- I'm not. The town would do much better just advertising it and
selling it for parts - seriously.

Good point.

I am not sure I am all for the gadgets and high tech, computer
controlled wizardry in cars.
KISS. I think about the '06 M5 I had (all two of them). They
probably represented the state-of-the-art in electronic, CPU
controlled
operation that year, from the engine management systems to the
electronically controlled SMG transmission that operates the clutch
electronically.

They were both a disaster. Traded in the first one because it had
too
many software "bugs". Transmission would freeze up in neutral. The
famous "Red Cog of Death" would appear on the driver's display and
your
only option was to call a flatbed. Traded that in for one that had a
later build date that reportedly had the bugs worked out. Nope.
Car
was a spectacular performer, with 500 hp and handling that could
safely
rocket you along at over 200 mph if you were so inclined (I wasn't),
but the damn thing wouldn't move half the time due to a software
malfunction.

That's when I traded it for the Porsche 911TT. Porsche remains
somewhat "old school" and other than those electronics that are
absolutely necessary, it was a driver's car. I like that.

Ironically though, it was Porsche, back in the late 80's, that
developed
the first tire pressure monitoring system, based on speed sensors on
all
four wheels.

I must have been thinking of some other over-priced replacement car
part.
Although not oem you can get the whole kit for under $150.

Car software problems. I have the two Lucernes, '07 and '08. On
occasion either one of them will lock the doors when you exit the
vehicle. When it first happened I talked with the local service
manager
and they had never heard of it. Maybe a year later the same guy
confessed that they were now aware of the problem and the service guys
roll down a window just in case the car locks while they are working on
it. GM will not do anything about it.

It's a problem for me as we leave the keys in the car when they are
parked at home. I now carry a spare in my pocket.

Leave your keys in the car...while it's unlocked?
They'd love you around here...in no time at all your cars would be in a
container on its way to Russia or some 3rd world country.


Most of us do not live in a crime ridden cesspool.

You live in the burbs where the bad **** happens behind closed doors.

But still not a crime ridden cesspool. Where your car is ripped off, etc.

I'm sure if your community had anyone living there that was under 60
there might be some mischief happening.

I expect you're safe.

Harry seems to have had more than one, and the present one keeps him in the
basement. Maybe he is gay. I have gay friends. big deal. Most do not
like the flaming, in your face gays of Polk Gulch either. When I worked in
SF while going to university, two of the IT operations managers were gay.
Big deal. Their choice. Since you are consistantly wrong about politics,
and Don's son is the alcoholic, not me. Stands to reason you are wrong
about me most of the time.

My community has lots under 60. Mixed races. Blacks, Asians, India
indians, and lots of children. A very nice middle class community. Some
rich, some not so wealthy. Very little crime. Highly rated public schools.

F'n idiots! You are both low IQ under achievers. A drunk who could only
get work at a crown corporation, that raises a failure for a son. Still
living at home and still getting him his beer. Harry, claims to be a
professional writer. No cites about him on the internet, except as the PR
person for crooked bunch of union thieves. Lies about family members? Just
repeating your statements about your beer swilling, can not buy a car in his
own name (Cheating the insurance company?) son.

You and harry are either total alcoholics or you are even more stupid than I
