depends where I'm sleeping.

Word of this event has reached me in China. Wish I could be around to reinforce the Buick contingent, but unfortunately the timing isn't right. Do any of you ever get over to Mississippi? I've got a GN down there and am planning to bring down a couple V8s in the near future. I get back...

Hey, I was in the 15s before I got my drivers license. Now I'm in the 12s.

I got to thinking it would be interesting to build a rear engined buick turbo powered car. There are quite a few corvairs out there that were converted to small block V8s for racing and it may not be too big of a deal to swap a 3.8 Turbo into one of them. Has anyone ever seen one of these...

Heck, I traded one of 18 '71 GS455 convert 4spds for a paint job. It's pretty rusty. Now I'm having second thoughts.

What do you make of the rediculous prices on old corvettes though. Maybe the c4 & c5 won't go through it. In '77 I sold a 65 327/250 3spd floor shift vette for $3200. As a car with 125K miles, that was still a premium price. I just don't get it why they sell for over 20K now. First gear...

I forgot to say forget about the TA. In the short term (and for the rest of your life memories) I'm certain you'd be better off in a Vette. Unless of course you could get your father into an '87 GN. That would be a sweet deal.

"?Mike, take some advice. Instead of using all the brain power to make some bucks on a movie about that tragedy that was Columbine, think before you scarf down those next 15 devil dogs.?" If you're talking to me i don't see the connection. The holywood crowd are just a bunch of good looking...

If you had any idea the alternatives that much money could buy in Asia you wouldn't be thinking about putting it on a 15 yr or so old car.

I'm going to do my best to present a moderate opinion to pull things together rather than polarize. Nice letter by the girl from her heart. Actually it's so sorrowful I hope it's not true, but quite possibly so. Screw the actors, just a bunch of idiots that can memorize lines.. When this...

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph... I haven't had a corvette since selling my 95 ZR1 in 96. Now you guys got me wondering how much better they are now. Hail Mary full of grace, my Buicks are with me, blessed are they among cars and blessed is the gsx among them. Holy Mary pray for us sinners, etc...

Whoever they are and whatever you want to label them, I say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I want to give the arabs the benefit of the doubt that they don't see the reality. But we also see reality through our own eyes. Like Forest Gump said, "Maybe it's a little of both.". But stupidly biased...

Probably a better question is what do you want to get for it? If you want a real opinion, I suggest you get an appraisal at a good muscle car specialist. I've been surprised doing that with my cars, mostly on the downside. But it's the right center point. As far as selling goes, you can get...

This is probably easy for someone that knows. I'm in the category of people that knows I don't know. VIN on my 87GN is 1G4GJ1173HP444274 I see some people saying GN #XX of XX made. So is it possible with this VIN to say this is the somenumber GN made in '87? The logic escapes me, but of...

For what it's worth, I did 2.163 on original factory tires full inflation. That was with almost no boost. With boost, they just spin.
