Is it fair to say that after 30+ years as a Turbo Buick enthusiast I'm not that enthusiastic about Turbo Buicks anymore? I've owned more of these cars than I can count. I've had everything for stockers to race cars and all variants in-between. I've enjoyed the camaraderie, racing, car shows and friendships. I've been thru a few "Getting out of Buicks" moments where I've sold everything off only to start over again a year of so later.
Recently I admitted defeat after being pummeled by the 9 second drag car I hoped to make my street strip car. It left my hopes dashed, my wallet empty and me questioning if I ever knew anything about Turbo Buicks to start with.
It seems times have changed, the bar has been raised, you can buy 9 and 10 second cars right from the showroom with a warranty. Some argue "built vs bought" but I've built plenty of stuff and I have the scars on my hands and a missing finger tip to prove it.
I work as a mechanic, I suppose the novelty has worn off over time. I don't want to have to fix everything I own. Am I just washed up or is this a moment of clarity?
