     Typical night out as I ease up to the red light.  The driver's eyes are blooming in the rice burner buzzing next to the big Buick.   The looks on their faces' are something, staring in awe, you've got to see the confusion, and disillusion in their beady eyes to believe.  I snick the column shifter into low gear -- depress the brake and adjust the accelerator to the floor.  The front end of the Buick rises a foot, I take the foot off the accelerator and bear down on the brake.  The car hangs high in limbo, then I pat the dash . . . ease off on the brake and the front end of the car drops like a rock and assumes it's eat me stance.  The rice burner pilot and his passengers stare through pin prick pupils. I'm not much into this new age of drifting, but the big Buick's got several tricks up her pipes.  Brakes on, accelerator down, the TA Radials sand off rubber and a nice cloud of smoke drifts into the Mitsubishi's windows. Now that's drifting . . .  The exhaust pipes conveniently exit right behind the wheels pointed like shotguns.  The smoke's bad, but I tach her up, and the noise drowns out the rice burner's buddy's latest rap song.

Green light, hammer down, the big Buick blasts away. At 40 miles an hour I snick her into to second and the tires bark.  Bye, bye rice burner.

Wouldn't you really rather have A Buick

     Never had anything like this.  Nine passenger muscle car with air shocks. 455 high performance motor turning a turbo 400 linked to 3.42 gears.  Car is extremely clean, needs a dash pad, and a little polishing up top.  Rust free Arizona car.  I've had many muscle cars.  This car brings people in droves.  It's a big block ground pounder.  If you want a little peace and quite it's not for you.  You might never find another car like this anywhere.  Most of the station wagons have been crushed, sent to China, and are sitting on Harbor Freight shelves in the form of tools and nick knacks.  The car is fast, spacious, to say the least it, is an absolute riot.  I truly believe, as it is equipped. It might be the only one in the US like it.  It has a tilt wheel featuring a sport steering wheel and a nice cd, iPod, USB compatible deck. Glass is perfect and everything's there. People come to it like hyenas to ham.  Runs cool, high volume oil pump, and great documented history.  DRIVE ANYWHERE . . .

7K worth of motor work.  And Yes -- It's a 455 . . .

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Buick GN and GNX will return

2020 Buick Encore, Encore GX set for Shanghai debut

Tue, Apr 2 2019

Buick says it will debut the all-new 2020 Encore small crossover and new-for-China Encore GX compact crossover at the Buick Brand Night April 15 in Shanghai on the eve of Auto Shanghai 2019. They'll join the updated 2020 LaCrosse and LaCrosse Avenir sedans, which GM is discontinuing here in the U.S. Buick released a darkened teaser image of both vehicles in rear three-quarters view, though it's a little hard to tell which is which (we're going with the GX being the one on the right). It suggests the Encore gets more streamlined taillights that taper along the rear liftback, with some redesigned creases on the door panels and haunches. The latter don't appear to be present on the Encore GX, which Buick says is a new addition to the model series in China. Both will be offered with GM's new nine-speed Hydra-Matic and continuously variable transmissions, plus what Buick says will be "enhanced connectivity," including new technologies. They'll join the Envision and Enclave for China, which is Buick's largest market. First introduced in 2013, The Encore was last refreshed for 2017. It has been the top-selling Buick model in the U.S. for the past 3 years, with 93,073 sold last year, up 5.7% from 2017.
