Thumbs up First Thread in Waiting Room/very short story.

I am always reading about parting out Buick's, problems with Buick's, etc. etc. etc. but not to often pleasing good stuff, so I thought I would share my experience that I had today.
It was a "hot" and muggy with scatter thunder storms day today in Maryland so I thought its time to turn the air on in the Buick and go for a ride, all I can say is it was a pleasure putting over 100 miles on the car today in the sun and through the showers. These cars are just great, almost like having your cake and eating it too. Doing 65 or 75 mph and squeezing the pedal feels like a pair of giant hands pushing your butt cheeks forward for a lack of a better description. These Buick's remind me of the top of the line rocket bike or car, such as a 427 Cobra, etc. With that bike or that car you don't go looking for races with other bikes or cars; no, you go looking for "VICTIMS".

Even though my car looks God awful, I still get all giddy when I start leaning into the throttle and she starts hissing. Been driving mine daily for almost 8 years now.

That is Truly the Best Part about these cars!

Had a Big Tow Truck playing with me this morning at 8am on the freeway. I was puttin along at 50 & he would come up in his Big Azz Semi Trailer Rig hauling truck & Honk & pretend to Lets Go! I gassed it for fun & slowed down back to 50 Minute later he was back beside me doing it again! Gave him one more blast & figured that was enuf on a public hiway. Gave me smile thats for sure! Think he was smilin too!
