A few crappy pics from visiting my parent's house. Will try to take some more tomorrow with better light and better camera. First day driving the thing in months without issues. Passed emissions with flying colors today. Tomorrow morning is a new tag sticker, better detail, clay bar, and wax.
Any meets this weekend?

By the way, that paint is older than most IA members. :D

Nice ride, reps.

This is one of the few models of cars out there that I think looks like complete ass, yet I would still love to own.

Nice... I love the GN/older regal style, as well. I look at those bodystyles, which were pretty forward-thinking for their time, then look at what they turned into, and go "WTF happened?!"

You can say "corporate crap" about any and every car maker. Look at Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and so on. They all went from cool looking cars to the ugly-as-sin look they have now. I have a Buick exactly the one you have pictured (2003) and I see nothing wrong with it at all. Later, QD.

thats just a stupid comment, buick is by far the worst when it comes to abandoning your past....

lets just consider what they were and what they are

and lets not forget about the gs', gsx's, wildcats, and riviera's

buick has become weak over the years and thats why they didnt thrive as a car company, while other car companies stuck to their roots and continue to thrive


and i think your argument about other car companies is invalid, especially the "import" companies, they have more power now than ever, cars have not changegd from what they were originally, and the reliability is still there, ford is still producing big hp mustangs, gm is bringing back the camaro, and is still producing larger #'s than ever with the vette, we've seen a 6spd ls powered caddy, and these companies are spinning off companies that are here to stay like scion and saturn, while gm lets buick sit around and target old people

Coming from you, I guess we can all overlook this comment. As if you're a force in any conversatons on IA. If reading comprehension doesn't continue to fail you, re-read the original comment. She was talking about looks. Not anything else. If Buick is is as bad as you think it is, then why are they still a force in the auto industry. Just because they don't cater to your kind? Later, QD.

classic qd, resorting to personal attacks when he has nothing to stand on, as if you're the ultimate car tour guide on ia, other than the cvcc have you actually owned a car that was innovative? looked good, or was worth mentioning in any conversation about cars in general? probably not, but yet everyone should bow down to you and listen to what you have to say, right?


i think it's you who needs to re-read, i am speaking of looks, the buicks of "yesterday" are better looking, have smoother body lines, and to boot have more power than they've had in 20 years. are you really that brand loyal just b/c you happen to own one that you will argue that buick has put out anything in 20 years that appeals to anyone other than the elderly and soccer moms? buick is the single company that has abandoned their past (along with olds, and we see where that took them) and it shows, they havent put out a decent looking, let alone, decently powerful car, in 20 years (and i dare you to try and say the new lucerne super is worth a monkey terd frozen on a stick....292hp northstar v8 and my grandmothers taste body wise = lose), the ttype/gn era was their last greatest run....they are no longer innovative, no longer a factor, and certainly arent a "force in the auto industry" - find yourself a big car company exec. and ask them what theyre afraid of, without a doubt i can say they would laugh at you if you tried to throw in buicks into any conversation of the sort

classic qd, resorting to personal attacks when he has nothing to stand on,

Personal attacks? I didn't attack you. I simply stated that you needed to re-read what you probably didn't understand.


other than the cvcc have you actually owned a car that was innovative?

Other than a turbo Civic, have you?



looked good, or was worth mentioning in any conversation about cars in general? probably not,

Probably not. Let's both add up how many actual racing championships we each have and see who comes out on top. Ready? Set. Go. I win.



i think it's you who needs to re-read, i am speaking of looks, the buicks of "yesterday" are better looking, have smoother body lines, and to boot have more power than they've had in 20 years.

Again. Try the concept of understanding. I know that my usual wording far surpasses your intelligence so that you may not understand what I type, but I didn't think the words I used here were that esteemed. I never said that the newer Buicks looked better than the older. You just wanted to chime in where you thought you could.


find yourself a big car company exec. and ask them what theyre afraid of, without a doubt i can say they would laugh at you if you tried to throw in buicks into any conversation of the sort

Lolol. Kind of the same reaction you've always gotten when people tear your livelihood up on here.

Lolol @ testing me when you have the capabilities of a daisy. You misunderstood my post, tried to call me out on it and got served. Just like you always do. Later, QD.

your statement appeared to be to defend buick, which you went further into in your next post....i simply retorted what i saw was a defense on one of americas worst car companies, problem is i misunderstood, i guess, what you were getting at, but in any event noones going to get an intelligent argument out of you anyway, just lame photoshops and the proclamation that you are the intelligence god b/c you think your life experiences make you far superior to anyone

Wrong. As usual. No one gets into intelligent arguments with me because they can't keep up. You know the routine. Not only do my life experiences fuel my intellect, but so does my educational level. Later, QD.

And you "bothered" again. If you didn't care, then there was no need to show us that you don't care. Just don't "bother" posting about it. And it wasn't the first thing. If you'll notice the time line of events.....am I getting too far advanced for you?........you'll see that I first made my retaliatory post to quench any thirst you might have gotten in your ill-fated attempt to "burn" me. I followed that up, a bit later, with the reputation mark that I left. Later, QD.

Almighty QD? Check.
Yale Grad? Not quite. GSU grad? More like it, with some GT in the mix.
