Looking at a 2016 Jeep Patriot that a 90 year old woman bought new 10 years ago when she was 80 and drove a few miles every week to go to the grocery store and the pharmacy.

Been told these cars aren't the best and that it's CVT transmission is sure to have issues. But since it's mileage is so low, would that theoretically reduce the likelihood of running into issues in the next couple years? Or is it more about the age of the transmission than the mileage?

Also any other common issues to be worried about? Frame looked solid. There was some rust on the rear control arms and brake housings, but nothing too crazy for 10 years in New Hampshire. They are selling it for $10k. Seems like a good deal?

Was having a conversation with someone who has never been to the northeast about the differences between New England states. Started with basic geography and landscape stuff, but got deeper into cultural differences.

Spent extra time on what makes VT feel special to me and was listing off certain organizations and places that feel very Vermont and inspiring (as well as ones that are just near and dear to my heart). But quickly realized that I have a bias towards areas I’ve lived and spent time in. Curious what other places people might add to my list:

- Bread & Puppet

- Tunbridge World Fair

- Yestermorrow

- Kingdom Trails

- Knoll Farm / Sculpture School

- Vermont Studio Center

- Concerts on the Green and Burlington Waterfront

- Otis Mountain Get Down (I deserve criticism for this, because it’s technically in NY, but started by Burlington people and mostly attended by Vermont people)

What classic VT institutions would you add?
