Buick??

Some cashier at the gas station told me I had a nice grand national... That's a buick I wouldn't mind having!

But I wonder how could somebody who knows what a grand national is, not be able to tell that my cougar is NOT a GN?

He did have pen 15e-bottle glasses though...

People always know my car is a T-bird. 9 times out of 10 when people complement the car at a stop light they ask if it's for sale. People keep wanting to buy my car...

Until you need to sell it... Then you can't find anybody.

Buicks are actually great automobiles

I was on my way home from speaking with the navy recruiter earlier, which was aggravating enough, and I got off my exit and as I'm waiting at the red light a kid in a riced out, primer spray painted hyundai pulls up next to me and says, "Hey man, you drive that grandma car like its a race car!" I told him that it wasn't really a grandma car and he goes, "Oh, I thought it was a Buick, my bad." then drives off. :beatyoass: Then to top off my lovely day, my rear brake line decided to blow out as I was turning onto my road.:punchballs:

I don't get it. Even when I was younger and didn't know sh t about cars I never thought of these as grandma cars. I mean, I live in florida, the retired old people capitol of the world, and all I see here is Towncars and Cadillacs, and ugly ass buicks. Never has anything with two doors ever brought to mind the idea of a grandma car to me...

I've always wanted a thunderbird. To be honest, I had never heard of a Cougar when I got mine. But when I got my cougar, I was so happy. And I was only 20 when I got it. I just thought it looked so bad ass. I loved the really long engine bay, that was what stood out to me the most. Idk, I just don't understand why people see these like grandma cars. I can understand people seeing them as POS daily drivers, cause unfortunately, a lot of them are. But, these cars just have so much more style than, well, almost everything. Especially Hyundais.

had a kid call my silver TC a firebird yesterday. I threatened his life :evilgrin: no worries he's the cart boy at walmart lol


I live right behind an off leash dog park. All kinds of young adults walk by all the time and also say "nice firebird, nice trans am" ??? . And the people that do read the emblems (maybe because of the then radical styling in the 80's ) think it is a early 2000's model ???
And then the best part is "does it got a Hemi ? " WTF man ????

Hey, who you callin ugly? :evilgrin:



Buick made some good looking cars back then. And yes, the GN is sweet. My friend had a Regal that needed some paint, so of course he painted it primer black. Tons of people thought it was a GN. And then he flipped it over a stone wall....:mad:

Gotta love the kids.


if you say so,  seems like the new "smart" is stupid, and if your not stupid then your an idiot to them.  this aint just about cars either,
