    cop gets owned for writing ticket for DOT tires

    Okay, I'll give you some of that, as I have certainly seen what you describe. And I do appreciate the way in which you responded. I still have a problem where you use "majority" and "most of" though. And my experience is much different. As opposed to officers believing they can bend the...

    cop gets owned for writing ticket for DOT tires

    I'm sorry, friend, but there's alot of assumptions there. I'm sorry if that's your experience with the police. While police are not above the law, they are charged with enforcing the law and are not exactly on equal footing with citizens on the street. It ain't easy out there, believe me...

    Found a treasure trove......

    All that's great, but if you really want to get people's attention these days you need to talk about the four NOS 1987 grilles that you found, the 3 sets of headlight bezels, the two complete brand new Powermaster brake units and, of course, the 4 sets of GM rear bumper fillers that you bought...

    New national owner..and proud.

    It's good you got such a good deal. You will need the money you saved on the initial purchase to: a) make it go faster; b) make it look pretty; c) make it start. Welcome to Hell. (But you're in good company) ;)

    How to store a GN long term?

    Car cover would be a very good idea. Also, do whatever you can to keep the rodents out. They can do alot more damage than you would think. They will nest in the seats, engine bay, etc. They will eat wires and hoses. Plug up your exhaust pipes! Obviously, take the battery out of the car and...

    Top 10 'hottest' rides in movie history??

    Front swaybar bushings

    Installing new Moog front swaybar bushings. I'm having a hell of a time seeing how the bushings are going to allow the brackets to seat flush to the frame once they are bolted in. I know my original stock ones did, but they were really compressed and dead when taken out. Should the brackets...

    how many are left?

    Not to get way off the subject, but I sometimes wonder about the future of our cars from a parts availability standpoint. There have been some pretty important sensors discontinued over the past couple of years, and it will only get worse over time. With a relatively limited number of these...

    T Type QUESTION

    Buick dropped the name "T-Type" for the 1987 models. Where it may really get confusing is when you use the name "Turbo T" to describe the 1987 non-Grand National Turbo Regals. There are some WE4 owners who will tell you that the WE4 was named the "Turbo T" and that anything else is just a...

    Front sway bar

    Great looking car! You may already know this, but if you're taking the front bar off by yourself, be very careful that you don't strip the threads in the frame when removing the bolts. The frame threads are very thin, and the bolts in the bracket are special. If you allow the sway bar's...

    Brake Light and Vaccum Conversion

    Yes, I bled the system right after the swap. I was thinking that the brake light being constantly on was a result of the Powermaster no longer being plugged in, but I could be wrong (probably).

    Brake Light and Vaccum Conversion

    Brake light is perpetually on now that the Powermaster is unplugged and out of the car. Installed vaccum system, but the light is still there. How do you make it stay off? Thanks.

    I'm done.

    I agree with the last post. Even if the car has to go, you can always get another one when things aren't as tight. I'm from California, too, and I know what the cost of living out here can do with the old finances. I'm still trying work my car into my life after having it in storage...
