Bob bought the car in 1989 with 33,000 miles and has enjoyed driving it for going on 150,000 miles now! Bob's life has changed over the years and now with 3 kids, he says he puts less than 500 miles a year on it. However, every time he gets in it, he gets the familar thrill! His ride has led to meeting lots of class acts in the Buick world (and a sprinkling of buttheads) and he reports he's had a blast!
Bob hopes to get a 10 second pass out of the car without hurting it. That's pretty impressive for a car with a column shifter and a BENCH SEAT! He also has some advice for "newbies" and that's "follow the people that actually OWN the cars and been there!"
Sounds like Bob has his act together!
