This is NOT your Father's Oldsmobile
It WAS my stepfather's Buick. Now it is mine!






Smoooooooooooth ride and horses under the hood that frankly scare even myself that I would have access to it. Steve McQueen would need film editing to drive with me (but I drive responsibly).


Plus, you wouldn't believe the deal I got on it-a 1990 Buick Regal yes 13 years old but immacutely taken care off.
------------------------



BTW-I am having some real troubles with the DU on AOL at home today (working at home).

1. is it a custom?
Used to own a 91 Buick Regal Custom - those things do have nuts. Had a top speed of 140 before the limiter stopped it.

Congrats, good car, don't flip it like i did :)

3. I joke with my partner about Oldsmobiles, and Buicks
I tease him about them being "Old people" cars. I tell him they come with a difibrilator in the trunk, and an onboard computerized home health aide, as options.

:D

5. I buy my parents' old cars all the time.
I've gotten 4 from them. I know they always take great care of them, and they make me sweet deals! :D

My 1994 Infiniti G-20 was my mom's. It's a great car. I plan to drive it until it falls apart. By then, she might be tired of her 2001 Infiniti I-30. :evilgrin:
