Anybody can come by, to a be a member, just say "...I own a Buick.." , no dues or anything , just show up and look dumb like us... :tongue:
Coming off I-85 to Pleasant Hill rd., Hooter's is on the right on Gwinnett Place rd off Pleasant Hill rd. just a couple of stop lights from I-85 in front of the mall..

[Hi-psi]

just say "...I own a Buick.."

But what if I own "the better Buick" aka TTA?

I know you might have a heart attack Alan, but I just may show up.

I might be finally recovering from being burnt out on the whole gearhead stuff the last few years.

Buick Meeting

It used to be at Hooters on Jimmy Carter. Is that where it's at now? What happened to the old 3 dollar place in Marietta?

 

[Hi-psi]

A decision was made to move the meetings more to the east/northeast side of Atlanta since it seems that's where more of the "active" members were.

 

[TwinyTwin]

If I dont get suckered into working this weekend I will def. be there.

...'bout time you showed up...we kicked you out of the club 6 times to make up for not being there...The Hootie Chikkies are nicer to us than the Hooterville in Norcross... Norcross Hootville ran us off each time because they changed management every week and nobody would remember us

Norcross Hootville would always forget us So we are trying the one at Gwinnett Mall to see how it goes, plus a larger crowd shows up We thought we would try a Hootville near I-85 since on certain Saturday afternoons (3rd Saturday of each month, same as our meeting) Year One has a car show and drags for only $10.00 to run at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce , which we race the show cars and other non-ricer vehicles :smile: Car show is after our club meeting and we just head up to Year One , which is about 8 miles from Atlanta Dragway...

There's another Alan with a Turbo Buick in Atlanta?

Hey! I just bought a GN off of Ebay, going to pick it up in NC as soon as I get a chance- - -

I have a few (dumb newbie) questions I hope y'all can answer- -

I have read that one should let the turbo cool for 30 seconds when you stop the car to prevent coking of the turbo. Someone else on this site said that was not true, what do y'all think?

Where are some good places in Atlanta/Decatur area to get work done on a TR?

How much of a difference is there in quality between these two car alarms? Which one would y'all recommend? The first one is so much more Expensive than the second one, but I don't know what the difference really is. I want to get a really effective alarm in addition to the other security measures I am taking (steering column collar, Ravelco) so I'd rather spend a little more $ and get something that WORKS but I don't want to overpay.

I know I want one with glass breakage sensors and microwave sensor, and something that if the car is towed it will go off and page me. Recommendations?

I'm the 2nd (?) TR owner in Atlanta named Alan!

The coking problem was with older rated oil in the eighties. Since then oil has been improved to handle any coking unless you don't change the oil often.
Use a good synthetic oil like Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5-40 ,it stands up to high temps , especially since summer is here....Rotella can be bought at Wal-Mart .
