Seeing the Avalon reminded me of the famous Bunker Hill video we've seen here before but is worth mentioning again...

Not going to get into a pissing match with you on a subject irrelevant to the thread, but as you know, my response was to your original, unedited post in which you disagreed with me about the identification of the '55 Buick ("GW, you're not going to like this" etc). If you want top car-expert honors, they're yours. Let's move on.
