Never rode in one, but only saw some from a distance.
Between meeting up with a few on the road, seeing a few at car shows, and reading this site, GNTType.org, I knew I wanted one.
I already had a Regal, (was left to me by grandpa), so I figured I would hunt down the drivetrain. After all, the 307 was ok, but no rocket. I had the conversion done by a known Buick guru shop in Canada, where I got the wrecked GN. After a few months of parts swapping and sourcing, I drove her home for the first time. First intersection I took completely sideways smoking off the rubber under the traffic lights. It was a great first impression!
What car did you take your drivers road test in? Did you pass the first time?
Me, it was my 307 equipped Regal, in the dead of winter, passed the first time with ease. (My drumming instructor was also a driver tester, so he showed me the "course" and told me what to watch out for. )
