Can't We All Get Along

[Gary Wells]

James:
I don't hate Fords as much as I pretend to. But I really do have a genuine love for '87 turbo Buicks. Scan through the list, I haven't always been in the Buick encampment. I might be old and lame, but a turbobuick will always be 1st in my heart as long as blood pumps through it.

Im just sitting back in my office with the a/c on ( none in the buick ) and soaking it all up. As far as getting out and buying a mustang its way to late for that. I went down to your shop last week with Rick Percy and my wife she fell in love with that black T your selling, thanks for the help and the advice but Im hooked on these TURBO TURDS. I hope to learn alot today!

Rick

Wass up Rick! I never know who I'm insulting on this board. Tell your pretty wife that I go with the car. Anyone who buys one of my cars gets a free Pollock with every purchase. Now if that isn't enough to discourage most. What Is ? LOL

...yeah I'll play along

Name is Ed, 28 from Covina; recently converted from 13+ years of 5.0 street racing. As I get older I hungered for a plush street machine that will hold it's value. I struck gold in Feb 2006 when I traded a 99 900 RR (that's a street bike for you who don't do bikes) and $500 smackers for an 87 T-Type with tons of bolt-ons. It is tough to look at and rattles like hell but I am finally going to have time to restore her. Want to make Regal friends. Will you be my friend???

totally off subject and off point but.......

wonder how much our GN's would be worth if Buick forked up the extra dow and marketed with Tom Cruz in TOP GUN if Tom was driving a GN in the movie instead of that bike. Just stuck watching that movie with a "friend" so i can get some puttie, but can't stop thinking of the GN and how bad ass it would be if he drove one in that movie! BTW the movie was made in 1986 which is what made me think of my GN when i heard it.


PS: LOU she actually likes my prius! :biggrin: :biggrin: But I know she likes the GN more

Darkside put that pipe down! That sh''t will kill you if you don't back off. Real women don't put out for some metro sexual gay driving a Prius. Who are you kidding! LOL
