Maritime List 330 – Recent Acquisitions

From Canada, Vermont, New York, Maine, Connecticut, Cape Cod, and Pennsylvania. I’ve been driving around so much over the past two months that I came in 1500 miles late for my next scheduled oil change. What if I’ve ruined my engine? I’m gonna need you to buy a lot of these books!
