Right after I bought the car, I went to autozone to get a oil filter, battery and other ods and ends. When the parts guy asked for what vehicle, I proudly said 87 grand national. To my surprise no one behind the counter had a clue what it was. I told them its a regal with the turbo V6. One of the parts guys said he used to have a regal and it had the mighty V8 and was still a POS. I just laughed and said ya those 305s were boat anchors and got my parts.
yeah i went in to pep boys and ordered something for my T. i figured it was easier to say 87 buick grand national to the guy. he goes, "is that an SUV?" i chuckled and said, nah it's a regal. those guys are idiots.
