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 recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Answering The $30,000 Entry-Level Luxury Question
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and Acura would have matched a Skylark against an Integra.
Twenty years ago, a comparison between an entry-level Buick and its Acura equivalent would have matched a Skylark against an Integra. The unfair battle would have resulted in the compact American's defeat in nearly every measurable category, as the Japanese competitor was arguably at the height of its powers.

Buick Adam a reality after all... but only in China

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

General Motors may have parred down its brand portfolio, but it still has more under its umbrella than most. That's why, while a company like Ford might market the same vehicle under its own name in markets around the world, GM uses different brands in different markets. But no two are aligned quite as closely as Opel in Europe and Buick in the United States and China.
What we know here as the Buick Regal is sold overseas as the Opel Insignia. Our Encore is their Mokka. Verano? Astra sedan. But one thing we don't get here is the Opel Adam. The diminutive city car is GM's take on the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Citroën DS3 et al. Launched at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the Opel Adam is named after the company's founder (like an ironic thumbing of the nose to the Ferrari Enzo). But while it's sold, like most Opels, in the UK as a Vauxhall, the prospect of it porting over to Buick seems slim to none. Right?
Sorta. While the Adam isn't likely to come Stateside, the latest reports (as yet unconfirmed by GM) suggest that The General is planning to sell the Adam in China where the Buick brand is also a strong seller. Local production could ensue, with prices targeting the Fiat 500 and engines - according to CarNewsChina.com - to include inline-fours displacing 1.2 and 1.4 liters with 69 and 100 horsepower, respectively.
