I liked Kenny Bernstein's Buick Reatta Funny Car.  Back then, the model were easy to identify.

Reatta - sold for a measly $170.


I did not pick up the 4 cyl LX. Already have one I paid vastly less for. The notchback is lighter and more rare but the hatchback is better looking. ;D

I did drive the Mustang today as I had to cart around the wife's dog. New starter works sooo much better than the old one.

I like the Park Avenue.  No vinyl roof and no white walls gives it a classy look, plus the colour is spot on.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

And, it will appreciate in value.

The Park Avenue looks really nice. I like them but not sure they have a lot of value appreciation in them.

I like that Olds, nice comfy cruiser that should be reliable. W Body right?
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Man all these old sedans and cars make me sad that we don't have as many interesting options nowadays from the mainstream manufacturers.  Heck there are manufacturers that have completely gotten out of the sedan market (mitsubish, ford, chevy, etc).

Sorry. You call the above crap interesting? Give your head a shake and wake up from your nostalgic dreams :)
I love it when a plan comes together.

Taking a walk one night a saw a new Malibu in a driveway - sharp looking car we never see. I'm getting crossoveritis with my 2020-21 crop of reviews. More fun stuff in line for the summer at least!
