If you don't you have to pay 10 cents a paper bag. There are no plastic bags here anymore

No, the computer would just incrementally lower the top speed. After 100 miles it would set to 60mph, 100 more to 50 mph etc. It would basically force you to take it to the shop.

😂

Disabled the engine as in cuts out power entirely - no power steering, energy to braking system gone? That's the issue I'm seeing.

Thank for this!

My dad just got in a bad accident and had to be flown in to Mass General, as a Vermonter we were so scared everyone was going to be rude to us but I have to say everyone we have met in Boston has gone above and beyond with kindness. So I guess it goes full circle! I'm glad we are all able to have humanity and take care of each other when it's most needed! :)

With mine it was an issue with the diesel exhaust fluid system. They had replaced pretty much the entire system by the time it was over. I am just assuming it was a design flaw with the 2.8 duramax. I could have lived with it but when it threw the code it disabled the engine.

Yeah lol don't piss off the farmers! Just get used to the smell :)

these folks: https://www.merrillsauction.com/

came to our house, walked around and gave helpful analysis with price estimates. they sold the items we chose at auction and sent a check with our proceeds

This is very interesting! Thank you. I was actually thinking about getting a new car in 1-2 years so this is actually great to know thank you.

Absolutely! We are looking forward to getting away from where we live, only thing we're bringing with us is probably how fast we talk (I feel like people from MA always try to get their sentence out as fast as possible), but even that will probably go away in time haha.

From a teacher and a social worker, money clearly isn't our main goal haha so I'm very glad that this sentiment seems to carry up in VT! I had town meeting in the town where I grew up in MA and I loved it. I look forward to that too!

I loved going to town meeting growing up in MA! I noticed that people in VT look out for each other. When we were visiting a couple of years ago my partner got hit by a car that ran a red light as we were in a crosswalk, we ended up having to spend over a week in the hospital and the nice local folks offered me a bed and food and all that. My partner and I are a lot more "laid back" and it really struck a nice chord with us that people offered us help like that. Looking forward to the community feel.

I appreciate the input. Interestingly, mine is also a diesel. Now it seems they are just throwing parts at it. It's getting a wiring harness now...

That is very interesting! From my understanding, MA is a very hard state to legally get a gun in. I am now allowed to have one because I have my medical cannabis card. I wonder if that hold will carry over when I become a VT resident?

Great tip! Thank you :)

I am very big on this throughout the US. Haha don't have to worry about me going slow in the left lane on 91! Glad to know this sticks in VT too.

I moved here from Mass, it's not hard to adapt. People are less into the car you drive or how big your house is. Instead of being a badge of honor, people are low key about money. Don't expect everyone to spend the weekend at the mall or Home Depot shopping, there's much less reverence for commercialism and capitalism as a lifestyle. There are also a lot less choices in shopping and the grocery stores pretty much suck. The differences in traffic laws & regulations are minor. Everyone can go to Town Meeting, you don't have to be a member like in Mass. It's super easy to get involved in town politics and the people that are involved run a wide spectrum.

Maybe it’s nostalgia but I love Manhattan Pizza. Otherwise you can’t go wrong with Verita, Flatbread, Folinos or Pizza 44.

Yeah our class 4s are clearly posted as pass at your own risk dec - may, unmaintained. We dont have the staff or funds to keep them all perfect.

Love granpas spite. Serves them right trying to step on an old timers source of income.

Same with the people who bought land next to the disc golf course in the public park in Waterbury. They built big houses, moved in, and were appalled that people were using the disc golf course they’d built next to. So, they’ve been working to get the course shut down. Such assholes.

Hey, guess what? I just noticed that, in his own echo chamber r/PoliticsVermont sub, Rama has just implemented approved comments. You must be an approved commenter in order to comment on any post in that sub. All this was done since last week, when Rama was bitching about being somehow "banned" from r/Vermont, and someone called him out in his own sub. Guess Rama doesn't like being challenged.

Agree altho this varies by town. Some towns will maintain to the last full time residence on a class 4 and some don't. It depends on how the road maintenance is addressed in the town plan or zoning regs.

Neighbor calls the state police repeatedly on my grandfathers farm for manure spreading. Not even liquid, OG bedded pack type stuff. Now he saves it all for the spring/summer/fall holiday weekends
