Not 20 minutes ago, a good old boy--I mean narly truck, hunting gear, gun rack, the works--pulls into the driveway to have a look at a POS refrigerator we've been trying to get rid of. He says yes to the frig. We load it up, and engage in a bit of small talk--it is clear that we are culturally miles apart, when he asks "What year is your Saab"? Turns out, he's got an 86 9000.
