Beware...long post. Drink plenty of coffee..

Ah, the Turbo Regals, Grand Nationals...all have their bad days and mostly GREAT days! Like a mad woman as you said, sometimes you want to put her in a crate and ship her to Siberia. But, I personally, just am madly in LOVE with my Grand National. (and ALL TurboRegals) I feel so damn good knowing I have her in my garage, every day. Love working on it, and as long as this forum exists, I have the utmost confidence in myself to solve and fix all problems that arise with it.

The guys on this forum are the most intelligent, reasonable, most HELPFUL group of guys I've have ever had the honor of associating with. There has NEVER been a problem that they could not help me solve. I'm so damn thankful for this forum as the guys here have saved my butt many, many times. With all of the great supporting vendors here, and the individual folks that sell their parts, I never have to worry about going up to Carlisle, Pa every spring, summer, fall to find hard to obtain parts. These parts are ALL available here on the forum, new, used, anything you need.

I've learned all the valuable information of the fuctions of the turbocharged 261 V6. And how to identify individual sensors, locations, and their quirks. One question on getting a Scanmaster to these guys, and they were all for me getting it, even suggestions of more powerful scanners/readers like the Powermaster, etc. Now I know what to look for, listen for, be aware of on these fast, fast jets.

You're right that it is give and receive here...and without rancor. The racer guys here really, and I mean REALLY know these engines, I admire them so much and listen to every word they have to say. As well as everyone else on this board...their stories, suggestions, comments are all treated by me as very important information. I just LOVE coming down here on the computer at night and just reading all this stuff. God, I LOVE IT! I do submit helpful (I hope) information to the fellas on what I know rolleyes and never hesitate to join in discussion on various topics relating to our cars. I mean, I just LOVE these guys...they have the greatest sense of humor here...some of the posts and their comments make me laugh my ass off!!!! On some of my bad days, I NEED this, and it's very theraputic to me.

Thanks to these guys, I've learned how to modify my GN and squeeze MORE POWER out of it without blowing it up. They've taught me to be careful and do mods one step at a time.

I love this board so much that I was so shocked, saddened, hurt by the loss of one of our members, GMPOWER, who recently passed. I never met him, just was part of his posts and things, and it hit me really hard. Very hard. That's how much I cherish this TURBOBUICK.COM.

No one here is really very nasty with one another, and this is greatly appreciated and admired by me. I can't believe sometimes how well we all get along...we all have one thing in common.....these rediculously fast, beautiful cars to be damn proud of...the TurboRegal and Grand Nationals. Though I'm "just" a board member, nobody important, low bolt on the tool rack, I do say I'm glad you feel so comfortable here. I don't think you'll ever want to leave.

I've been here since my Dad died in April 2006. He gave me his Grand National before he died a horrible death from cancer. I held him in my arms as he passed away early in the morning. I was flattened, devastated, and no real words to discribe it. Somehow, the December of 2006, I found TuboBuick.com and joined, somewhat reluctantly. As I've only had the Grand National a short while, I was at a blank at what made it run right. I was reluctant to ask questions at first, feeling kind of stupid, but after the first few carefully structured questions were kindly answered by these kind guys, I found my solace and peace to help me through my horrible pain and loss. This site saved me, and guided me on getting my GN restored, fixed, taken care of the right way. In this way, TurboBuick.com was my salvation, if you will. They really, one day at a time, eased my pain.

So, I feel the same way you do about this place. And I'm glad you do.

What? Say what???? I've been yapping too long???? Hey, wait a minute!:redface: I thought I could....alright.....I'll shut up.....time's up, I have to go. ( the older I get, the longer I YAP)

All "factory modded" cars have good and bad days ---

 

[Audie1]

Yep good days and bad...........I've wanted to sell her several times over these past 18 years, but I have not. I would be lost without her........BTW nice post Bruce....don't ever sell the gift your Dad left you. :smile:

 

[Bruce Urie]

Thanks for the kind words, Audie. No, selling that GN will never happen. It will stay with me until I myself, die. Then it goes to my wife, Shirley. Only way I'd get rid of it, if something happened to my wife and she needs money for an operation or something tragic. Other than that, I'm keeping it for life. It makes me a member of a very great, unique group of guys...you guys here.:wink:
