    Paranoid when taking TR out

    I worry more about distracted drivers missing stop lights/signs and or getting rear ended in traffic than the car getting stolen. I'm definitely a defensive driver when in the Buick and always have an escape plan so the distracted driver will hit the next guy in line and not me. Maybe time to...

    86 Grand National Heater Core

    I picked up a new brass very original looking style heater core for my 87 turbo t at my local NAPA store, less than $40 out the door back in 2010. Don't know if the 86 would be different, I would assume they are all the same for 86-87. Fit in the car and the tubes lined up just like the...

    GSCA header feedback

    Yep, came with all REMFLEX gaskets.......and after re-reading the GSXtra back issues the headers are made from a "special alloy steel", so yes, better than just mild steel. The flanges are 3/8 inch thick and welded inside and outside. All the hardware to install is included also. Overall I'm...

    GSCA header feedback

    I received mine the day I left for the Nat's and just had a chance to unpack and take a look yesterday. Was a bit worried as they were packed in a regular header sized box and loose inside, but thankfully they were adequately wrapped with lots of bubble wrap so no damage during shipping...

    Trip to NYC

    If you are planning on statue of liberty or empire state building plan ahead and order tickets online ahead of time or plan on standing in lines for a long time and possibly not getting to see them at all. The crown tour in the statue of liberty is very limited and is usually sold out way in...

    bucket seat upgrade??

    I know the seats in my 95 Riviera are really comfy still after 16 years and 180k miles. Don't know how they would fit in a G-body car though. They were available in black, tan, red and blue and maybe others that I'm not aware of. Here's an example. 1995 Buick Riviera Supercharged Coupe in...
