Took my New Old buick for a ride
« on: March 06 2012, 08:35:43 PM »
well that was cool...took the Buick for a drive with my youngest son Tim. We went to local Advance Auto Parts to pick up a beverage holder for my coffee. I opted for one that slides in between window and door. Tim thinks its cool...the car that is...anyway I pull in and the local Import Crowd are there I park and get out and go inside. The manager sees the car and goes outside..he is an older man in his 60's and comes back inside and tells one of the "kids" to go out and check out some American Muscle....we chew the fat for a few mins...I tell him the story how i got the car and how much I paid...blah blah blah... I pay for my coffee holder and Tim got a new key ring. I go out side and the Import guys are swarming the car...hey Mister that's a sharp car...Thats a cool ride...etc.... I left with a huge smile on my face. and I punched it leaving the lot and got a little squeak of the tires.  Tim who is 8 says Daddy you have the coolest car around...gotta love kids they tell the truth...


on the car end...it shifted smooth and has some kick to its butt....punche d it from a stop and it is quicker than my durango....dow n shifted from a cruise and it got up and went...am happy with it


here is the best part....I applied to Hagerty insurance and asked for stated value at $5000 they said no and valued the car at $12000.00 based on the pictures I sent and their research....I contacted a buddy of mine in Ohio who is a Hagerty rep and he said to take the value...I would of gone thru him direct but he is not liscensed to do ins in NJ

Took it to work today....what a blast...was a little nervous getting on the interstate but it cruised along fine at 80 mph...lol...I would not want to do a daily commute...as it is 52 miles each way. But the feel of the car was great...I pressed the gas and it went...the thumbs up and horn toots were a boost to my already huge ego...lol.. I felt the need to cruise into shopping centers...noth ing against my GN but this car is more me...cruising down the highway of life with my arm over the passenger seat listening to some tunes and just cruisin....
