Any car can be an enthusiast's car...you just need to be an enthusiast.
Sedan57Chevy Best username ever, also my dream car
This is the true spirit of enthusiasm.
The "enthusiast paradox" , as the academics call it.
My new favorite quote.
Unless you drive a 57 hp 1.2 L mk 4 Polo :(
Buick Park Avenue: The Offical Car of “Hold on, Honey, We’re Taking a Turn”
Dope Mk6 would be great at RCR *ding*
Dope Mk6 It's also the official car of that 70 year old woman that lives on your street.
Dope Mk6 that’s actually pretty good
theironminecart47 rocks good one
I read that in Mr. regulars old person voice lol
To quote Joe Pera of Adult Swim about the 2001 Park Avenue:
"It's a nice car that doesn't make people feel bad about how nice it is. And it's got OnStar."
God’s car
God's car
God's car
I have a 1991 Buick park with 317,000 miles on it.......take that Jaguar.
Any car can leak oil, or coolant... Jaguars are special because they can leak electricity. That's unique.
K
i have a 2003 park ave 547 thousand miles drive across canada one liter of oil
Jag is still better.
@The Underground Man Material quality, luxury, build quality, style, ride quality, performance, and a name you can brag about. Only thing the Buick has over the Jag is reliability and how cheap it was but people who wanted quality didn't care about that stuff anyway.
"...slam that column shift into D for 'don't worry about it'." Best line ever.
Yes, that and "just point the hood ornament and go."
what about this one: 5:19 ?
He said that as I read your comment wtf lol
This is what America should build again.
These 3.8 liter engines were bullet proof.
Minimal servicing.
“Just come to trackday bro it’ll be fun” .........,”Hey Grandma can I borrow your car for something?”
“The tires were like that when I got it grandma I swear!”
PandaBandit Supreme stay away from grandmas tires. Grandma and her Buick are on a FIXED INCOME 😒
PandaBandit Supreme don't even say "for something."
Grandma's tires haven't been changed since the Jim Crow era.
jo23bulls
Which is fine because grandma only put 11,000 miles on them since new.
My mom had a Park Ave Ultra with the supercharger, that thing was quick. I had a Camry try to get in front of me one day, had to drop the hammer on her and she ended up behind me again. It was a GTP on mothballs.
Mothballs. Absolutely fantastic.
Finally someone who can put into words the kind of affection I feel for my '04 Lesabre
I have an 04 LeSabre too? What color is yours?
I had one to sold it with 325k shocks went thru the trunk it was my grandpas car back in the day only one that didn’t make in into the garage sadly so it rusted away over the years so many mementos riding in the back seat when it still smelt new ❤️ have a soft spot for the 04 tan lassabers
The type of car you see filled to the brim with plastic mystery bags and McDonalds wrappers in the Wal-Mart parking lot and make rash judgements about the owner and their lifestyle.
these kind of comments are best read in the narrator voice
I think it's fair to say that if the inside smells like a mixture of "jumbo-sized ashtray filled with Pyramid butts" and "stockpiled cat urine" and is filled with fast food trash from last year, then whatever assumptions you make are probably not that rash.
I work in a Walmart parking lot. This statement is very true lol
Abbreviated Reviews I work at McDonald’s and that statement is hauntingly accurate
Don't forget they have to have absolutely destroyed rear coil springs so they do a Carolina Squat.
Mr. Regular is becoming what he sought out not to become:
A track day bro.
But its not a Miata...
Anything is a Miata if you track it hard enough
At least he's enjoying himself.
Does anything else matter? Seeing him hooning around that Buick with the giggly voice made my day tbh.
Bond and Beyond Same! I think that as long as you can enjoy cars and feel happy, it doesn't matter much if you do it at the track, in the streets or at home watching videos
this is definitely a regular car so this is exactly what i signed up for
Just bought a 2003 Park Ave. Ultra with the supercharged version of this engine. Quite impressed with the get up and go such a heavy land yacht has!
3800 pounds isnt really heavy
For a car it is you bell end.@@clintonm1868
It just looks heavy.
Thank you for this. This is the reason I follow your channel. Cars like these are the reason I became a car enthusiast in the first place. Don't forget your roots, man. Don't forget them. Last thing we need is another rare/expensive/sportscar/supercar review channel.
God those are annoying
@@baronvonjo1929 Yeah, because channels covering cool cars as opposed to generic crap like this are boring.
PeugeotRocket ikr. People nowadays don’t have taste
PeugeotRocket You know, you don’t have to take things so personally. If you like fancy cars, just go watch videos from channels that provide that content.
Don’t waste your time in the comments section of videos like this, trying to defend your tastes to complete strangers. You’re not going to convince them of anything except “wow, this anime-avatar has some really thin skin if he’s getting wound up over THAT.”
I know better than a lot of people, it’s very easy to just throw out a comment to respond to some dumb shit that someone’s saying. It feels good, at least for a moment, to just take a moment to clown on some stranger on the internet. But to be honest, maybe we should all consider doing something else whenever we get the hankering to do that.
Maybe we should just let things slide.
David Zuluaga I apologize for my initial response to your comment, but I’m still going to disagree with what you’re saying.
The people that watch these videos appreciate regular cars, and you appreciate fancier sports cars. There are plenty of channels that review what you like to see. Why should you have to attack the people that want to see something different?
My dad has one of these and YOU MISSED THE HORN!!!!!!! It has an amazing boat horn from the factory that is one of the best parts of the car. It’s hilarious in parking garages.
Rob Hamerski this is why he shouldn't be reviewing regular cars on the track in my opinion.
It's also excellent for waking up retards who start drifting into your lane due to distraction/intoxication. Who knew that safety features and fun could go together?
I had an 88 Electra Park Avenue and that horn sounded like a train was coming
That horn was part of a package called "The Prestige Package" and was not on every Park Avenue...it was a 4 note horn....I had one on my 91 Park Ave Ultra. I see them on ebay sometimes and they get decent money for them too.
Oh that horn is brutal. I am going to miss that the most.
This is the best review you've done in a long time. Back to RCR's roots of real "regular" cars, good ol' American faux luxury.
Hell yeah. Good old RCR.
i have a 2000 buick park avenue- same body style- and it is my daily driver in the winter here in alaska.. LOVE IT.. so much room and handles great in the snow. ..great cars
My 1991 Chrysler New Yorker was the same way: handled beautifully and basically scoffed at snow, likely due to the heavy body and wide, long wheelbase. I love '70s, '80's, and '90's boats.
Both Buicks I have owned were fantastic cars. Smooth ride. Ultra reliable long lasting car
This. I have a buick century. Daily driver. Deove it for papa John's over a year. Multiple potholes and tracks. No problems and same suspension
Those behind car shots look like they're from an episode of 'World's Wildest Police Chases'
_"The suspect appears to be drunk, as they swerve from one sidewalk to the other..."_
(Exaggerated screeching noise that was edited in)
"I'M sheriff John Bunnell!"
These with a supercharger are great sleepers.
Agreed. That 3800 series w a blower can make some surprising power
yeah same engine that was in the Grand Prix GTP
family member had a Grand Prix GTP they got it up to 120 before running out of room and it was still pulling
Elios0000 Here’s a list of vehicles that had the Supercharged 3800 Series II engine:
1996-2005 Buick Park Avenue Ultra
1997.5-2004 Buick Regal GS/GSE/GSX
1996-1999 Buick Riviera
2004-2005 Chevrolet Impala SS
2004-2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
1996-1999 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight LSS
1996-2003 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP/GTX
1996-2004 Holden Commodore VS, VT, VX, VY
1996-2004 Holden Caprice
2001-2004 Holden Monaro
jakethreesixty The transmissions aren't weak idiots just don't change their filter and fluid every 60,000 miles like you're supposed to and then wonder why their trans went out at 150,000 miles.
I drove the family 90 Taurus wagon like it was a bmw m5.
>Drives like a grandma
>Likes grandma car best at track day
Makes sense.

All my weed dealers have had one of these.
John Wyskochil ahahahaha and buick century's
My weed dealer didn't even have a bicycle.
what did he do with the money??
I think he mostly bought N64 games
I always thought one of these, or a Dodge Caravan would be perfect to transport dope in. Ten - two on the wheel, sitting erect, you'd be invisible.

There's nothing wrong with driving in a luxurious vehicle to get some delicious food. Don't be a hater.
@@9ZERO6 or driving a luxurious vehicle to a small-town greasy spoon-"I have good taste, but I enjoy getting my money's worth."
I drive a 2000 buick lesabre. 95k miles, endless miles of backroad tracking like I was Mario Andretti. And old ironsides keeps on keeping on. Except that one time my fuel pump shot it self....
That happened to my cousins park avenue. Drive it for school. Loved the car. Fuel pump broke and they left it.
My grandfather went to the dealership to fix something on my grandmother's old Buick and came home with a brand new 2004 Buick Park Avenue Ultra in Black. Fantastic decision by him but it pissed my grandmother off. Black car in winter with sand on it doesn't look good. She liked it though, and he had gotten a good deal on it. I can confirm it was fun to drive.

I laughed so damn hard at that.
Always wondered why they classed it as a ska band whilst it obviously wasn't..
More like a "skata" band. Look it up (Greek).

Agreed

Buick- the official car of every 55+ community in Florida.
Buick- the official car of being 85 years old and never driving over 15.
Though I think it's in stiff competition with the Ford/Mercury Panther bodies.
Buick. The company that gives high schoolers their first car. Cheap, reliable, works without oil.

GrexTheCrabasitor And the award for most original penis pet name goes to...
Corrected lyrics "GM would not be GM without Buick...." (Buick is the foundation brand of GM)
Is it me or the song is Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy
Please elaborate
@@flymachine014 No, the song is New York by St Vincent
The song is Allstar by Smashmouth.
"You gotta shower before using the car! It's too new!" 😂😂
This is waaaaaaaaaaaay more Mr regulars speed. Buick park avenue, "because fast cars are scary" And suddenly his sandals make sense.
Mike Morris He’s delusional
Only Mr. Regular would have more fun tracking a Buick Park Avenue, than a sharkworks GT3...
Kane Jacobs I'm not so sure about that. A gt3 is too much car for me on a racetrack. I don't have the skills for it. The park ave though? That I can handle.
I suspect the same is true for 99.95% of people watching. But I'm sure you will all tell me how you're good enough to wring out a 911...
Kane Jacobs my guy
Slow car fast is way more fun than fast car fast. Slow cars react more, and at much lower thresholds. If you fuck up in a late 90s Buick and put the car off the track, you're doing maybe 50 miles per hour. Fuck up in a 996 Porsche and put it off, you could be going double that, easily.
in racing video games (lol nerd), i tend to enjoy c-class and b-class cars waaaay more than super cars.
I have a 2001 Regal LS. I haven't tracked it but I've backroadsed it. Genuinely a better drive than a genesis 3.8 on the same roads
3800 supercharged was a really good engine , bulletproof , torque for days and really efficient wish they still made an updated version of it .
The 3.8L (in about any of the cars) was a powerhouse, in this time period.
Finally a regular car
the regular in regular car reviews is referring to the reviews, not the cars
SO still finally a regular car
PARK AVENUES ARE JUST SUCH GREAT CARS.
SO MUCH COMFORT AND LUXURY FOR SO LITTLE MONEY.
AND SUPERCHARGED IF U ARE LUCKY
You could just get a Lexus LS400 instead. Way better car and they can be had cheap. Spend a little more and get an LS430 and you are in heaven compared to a PA.
@@PeugeotRocket I'm not a fan of the lexus ls400 series. Amazing cars very well built and just overall great. However I personally don't have a passion for them. I guess they are somehow TOO normal haha. I prefer the buicks, how they are round and large and quiet and just pleasant and comfy. The lexus also isn't the same type of luxury car as the buick. The lexus is a euro style luxury vehicle whereas the buick is a boulevard ride cruiser for driving long distances in comfort. They will just go and go and go. Also I would say hell no to them being way better than a buick park avenue. Perhaps equally good tho!
If I wanted a "propper" luxury car I'd walk right past a lexus and go for a v8 mercedes w140 or w126
What, no mention of the Buick Park Avenue Ultra? Supercharged goodness...or get a decently modified Regal GS from the 1998-2004 and make a review of that giggle machine
olikat8 That's a good one. These are easier to find where I live at than Grand Prix GTP which I want badly
I owned a 2000 Regal GS. It was a hand me down from my grandma (no surprise), and was an extra vehicle for me. I actually miss it, it had nice power coming out of that 3800 V6, and was comfortable as hell.
I love how much joy he is getting from this car.
I miss the 1990's American cars. For longevity, they actually started catching up with Japanese cars in quality (a Chevy Lumina was always good for 200K miles), then in the 2000's, they turned to crap. It was across the Big 3 too... They all needed major work in the early 100K range. As much as we make fun, the 1990's seemed like the last time American makers got their shit together (my Dad is on his 3rd late 90's S-10 because they run until 300k miles). I miss my wife's old Lumina, and I miss my old Dodge Shadow ES.
Luminas, Berettas and Corsicas were dang near indestructible, same with their GM cousins.
I know so many Park Avenues and bonneville's, whose frames would rust out, before the engine ever went out on them...
Nick Lehne Definitely. They still are solid used cars to pick up. A buddy of mine in high school had close to 300k on his Bonneville (his dad was always on the road) before the engine gave out and he flogged that beast!
travisp11 3800 is one of the best engines ever made!
My friend has a '94 S-10 with 230,000 miles. It doesn't blow smoke. It doesn't leak. It doesn't burn anything it's not supposed to. It runs like a top. He paid $700 for it. Best $700 ever spent.
*JAG-WA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WA*
My first car, inherited from my great grandmother, was a 2001 LeSabre, which is pretty similar. There's a lot to love about them old boats.
13:14 "I know I'm preaching to the choir... (slow-car-fast-adage)"
That's what I love about this channel. Not a single hater about a Park Avenue track day.
My first ever car was a Park Avenue. First Generation. I had it in the mountains of rural Virginia. And I learned driving as an irresponsible 23 year old on those mountain roads what you learned on this track.
I love the park ave. I loved flooring it and feeling, not just the accelleration, but this moment when it bites and you can feel the engine SUCKING THE SOULS OF DEAD DINOSAURS OUT OF THE ASPHALT. And since you've floored that engine, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
It may just be a 4-speed automatic. But it roars satisfyingly, and you've got go when you need it.
Thank you for reviewing this car. I miss it. I'm saving for another vehicle now... And it's either going to be another Buick Park Ave... or a Triumph Scrambler.
I just need to decide how badly I need to parallel park.
My first car was a 1990 Buick Le Sabre Custom 4-door silver/gray cloth. It was a great car. Those 3800 engines are perhaps the best engine GM ever made!
I love how giddy you are driving this baby on the track.
I had a 97 Park Avenue ultra (supercharged). Great car, lots of fun. It had the stiffer "grand touring suspension" and actually handled respectably.
I had a 2000 Buick Lesabre and I loved it!
My most fond memory of our family's 92 Park Avenue Ultra was going home from my 10th birthday from Ryan's All You Can Eat... We stopped at a light in Riverstone and dad was being... dad... and he started revving at the lifted F150 next to us. The guy looked over and just chuckled at us, but then the light went green and we both gunned it and Dad just... left the guy behind. My sister and I waved at him from the back window as his chin was practically glued to his steering wheel, eyes wide in complete and total disbelief at what had just happened.

SMOOTHEST RIDE ROUND THE BURGERING
I think this is my favorite review out of all that I've seen you do. I haven't seen all of them, but I've seen several dozen, and this is by far the most fun I've had watching one.
I’ve driven the Park Avenues twin the Lesabre. They are pretty much the same car with some different styling. It rides like a brand new car despite being 16 years old. The 3800 series 2 v6 is a bulletproof motor. 200 000 miles later it’s still running strong
“Mr Regular! We have a number of cars you can review today! We have an M2..”
Mr. R: “No.”
“We have this R8-“
Mr. R: “No.”
“Um, okay! We have this Lamborghini Hura-“
Mr. R: “No.”
“Well, um, that’s fine too! How about this Ferrari 48-“
Mr. R: “No No No No No.”
**Buick Park Avenue Drives By**
Mr. R: “YES, YES, I pick that!”
“But that’s not even one of our cars..”
Mr. R: “Too Bad!”
But does it come in *BROWN BROWN BROWN BROWNNNNNN*
I checked autotrader. It does.
Yes it does. And it's big brown and beautiful
HOT BROWN AND COLD YELLOW
I want you to do the same track in a 70’s Lincoln Continental. That’s would be even funnier.
Once again, a great American platform. In 1999 I rented one at Sanfrancisco Airport, 7 weeks, Monterey to Napa. Smooth, powerful and, 29 mpg on the highway. Another car that will go 300,000 + miles !
You failed to mention the single greatest feature of the park avenue. The freaking tugboat horn!
Such a gorgeous sounding horn. American as fuck
Or that it has volume and temp on the wheel. (At least the 2003 model does) When you use the volume buttons on the wheel the actual knob turns. Also heated seats. Seats 6. Dual zone climate. Infinite way power seats.
Nice to see you back to reviewing cars that typically show up on Craigslist or at the very low end of the used car lot. Those are IMO the most regular cars.
The cars i love
My 98 park Avenue was the best car I've ever owned. Such a comfortable ride and very reliable
Can we take moment to appreciate how beautiful the intro song is?
its so cute to see mr. regular harnessed the idea of fearless driving.
I know right? One year ago he was petrified to drive in the sOopeR ScAry Los Angeles traffic, and now he's finally gaining some confidence. About damn time.
Its heartwarming to see our little boi growing up
Love the fact that somebody else seems to appreciate the late 90s Park Avenue always thought it was a beautiful car and got to love the fact you could get it with a supercharger
I like these old big american cars. still miss the 89 Caprice :( it had right wheel drive, a V8, MASSIVE trunk. seating for 6.
You mean rear wheel, or did just the right wheel make power? 😅
right as in correct ;) so yeah RWD
The 92-96 Buick Roadmaster Sedan would have been up your alley (same B chassis as the Caprice)
Park ave is the same length as a new Impala.
I still have my 94Limited Buick Roadmaster with the corvette LT1 5.7engine.about to do a LS1 swap
Roman's on a St. Vincent kick. I wholeheartedly f#$%ing approve.
Incredible album, amirite Roman?
FINALLY a regular car.
Indeed
And a very boring one at that lol.
Lol I used to have one of these cars. It made me only like driving comfortable cars
William Nilson after you get used to driving a yacht like this, the Lincoln towncar or anything like it every car after feels like crap. “Why do I feel every bump” “why is the inside so small” “why doesn’t it feel like steering a boat in a corner”
The new LaCrosse is surprisingly good now, I'd say its practically a successor to the old Park Avenue and hell even maybe the Roadmaster. It's got a quiet, but powerful V6, and the interior is astonishing. Used 2017 models are also freaking cheap right now. I can get an Essence with 16k miles for only $21,000. That's almost _half_ of its MSRP.
you guys are crazy
Joseph Samsor I drive a police interceptor and it has a much stiffer suspension so I still fell bumps but the car itself is so comfy and roomy and I’ll never trade that boat feeling for anything
The styling isn't there and it just wants to be like the Europeans and Japanese way to much. The 97-05 Park Avenue was pure Americana and even had throw backs to the 60s and 70's with its arching hind quarters, stand up chrome grill, and hood ornament. Yes they were emulating Jaguar some, but it was still very traditional American, something that doesn't exist in a sedan anymore. The LaCrosse is certainly not as ugly as say a Lexus or Acura or the first Gen LaCrosse, but the styling is just way to bland still, plus its too small.
This was one of my favorite episodes you've done in a while. That was a seriously cool take!
I was waiting for the "old people" jokes, but there weren't any. I still enjoyed the video, though. Don't forget there was also the Park Avenue Ultra with a supercharged version of that 3800 V6 that made 240 horsepower. That's the one you should have took to the track!
“My farts alone have more walking bass lines and off color rimes”
"wALK INTO THE FIREHOUSE WITH YOUR D I C K O U T"
"when you're the only buick lover in the cityyy"
I drove a '96 in '03. Park Avenues were great cars.
The Park Avenue Ultra is one heck of a sleeper.
Buick needs to make big swole cars again
Great review! A beautiful '90's classic.
My family car was my grandfather's 97 v6 Camry, and at a stop sign not even Half throttle and the tires squeak and squeal. Surprisingly fast off the line. But then again the AC does sound like a supercharger past 2000 RPM.
V6 Camrys have always been sleepers.
Your grandfathers tires were shot.
Yes! Mom had a 95 V6 Camry that made that same noise. Many fun times and worn front tires.
This is what makes me regret getting the i4 in my 98 Camry. I would love to have a v6 in it, the late 90s camrys are wonderful cars. That and the V6 has a bolt on supercharger kit from TRD which would be a sweet project.
I drove an '03 V6 Camry XLE for 3 years, and drove in ways I probably shouldn't have as a result. My family car growing up was a Buick Roadmaster Wagon (wood paneled sleeper), which I did all sorts of stupid things with as a teen. These things have contributed to who I am as a person today.
I asked motorweek for this multiple times and RCR delivers. Way to go Mr. Regular.
MORE BOATS! On the racetrack! I like where you're going with this.
These 3800 engines are some of the best ever made, they're notorious for their low end power and impeccable reliability. My modded 2000 GTP supercharged coupe is running strong at 175k miles with the original transmission. Unfortunately the undercarriage and most of it's components are rusting to the point where the car maybe has a year left. New England winters have been tough on this thing. I bought it my junior year of high school in spring, 2011... Plenty of high school and college era adventures involved this car. It's going to be a really hard day for me when I have to get rid of it :(
Mine blew a head gasket and the timing chain hit the timing case, plastic tensioner...I guess for GM that was quality.
I put 410,000 miles on my 2004 Grand Prix with the 3800 motor before it finally gave out. Never changed anything put the alternator.
The 1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera S I used to have only needed a water pump replaced due to wear. Unfortunately years of Minnesota winters caused the rear axle bracket to rust through on the drivers side, which caused it to go down the road sideways. Once that happened it was time for it to go, but the 3600 in it never quit.
you should have done one of the supercharged versions. they're buck nasty! borrowed my grammas when i first got my license and left every mustang in town in the dust.
Yes! If he thought that one handled well if he should drove my supercharged park ave ultra with gran touring suspension!
Tony Fleetwood Hellz yeah, find a Century with the same engine and s.c. with less weight and stomp everything but Teslas and SHO Taurus's.
Not until you race a supercharged mustang
Weird because I raced one in my mustang and beat it. If you're racing V6 auto stangs from the 90's, yeah, but not a proper V8.
lol must have been a non SC 3800
I was wondering when the next grandma car would be here!!
Best start to any of your videos yet
IT HAD A REAR INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION?!!!!!!!!
RESPECT WHERE IT'S DUE
Ok Grandpa... you want another beer?
No? ok, I'm going to the pool.
Two cars you need to bring: 80s/90s Dodge Caravan, Olds/GM B-Body Station Wagon.
These are my favourite kind of videos, just regular cars.
So excited that you guys are going back.
The best reviews on this channel are always ‘80s and ‘90s era GM’s. The runners-up are 2000’s era GM’s. I think that has a lot to do with RG’s age. It’s more about America than the cars. Which is okay.
Alfred Valrie I also think it has quite a bit to do with the fact that '90s and '00s GM vehicles are some of, if not *the* most boring, average, regular cars that have or will ever be made. They lend themseves perfectly to the namesake of his channel.
And this is definitely okay.
Turned off porn for this. Worth it.
Jim porn is the devil
@dick
I've never heard of "Jim porn" before. Is that a new variety?
Browningate his name is Jim there, bud.
@dick
What's the difference between "Jim porn" and "Jim there?"
Browningate L
Love it. I used to own a 2003 park ave and to this day it was my favorite car. Miss it so bad. But for real do a first gen saturn sl 5speed. So much fun to race around in!
im so glad youre doing these on the track now
Those 3800 series II engines are severely underrated and bulletproof! This GM 3.8 v6 was surprisingly quick, especially when supercharged.
Nick B with a turbo they are so much fun! I'm building. 3800 series 3 for my 2002 firebird and I'm going to do 15psi of boost and 400hp minimum. Such underrated sleeper engine
I had one in a 2000 Impala when I was 17. Thing would pull up to 120 no problem. And I never changed the oil as long as I had it, just added a quart every few months. It may be the combination of those two things that eventually blew the headgaskets, but the frame was so rusted, there wasn't much reason to care.
Grand Prix GTPs have the super charged 3800 and are pretty fast with just a few mods.
An actual regular car...there you go. I'm in Chicagoland area right now.
I have a 98 park avenue that I love to drive so much more after watching this video. Thank you. (also I bled the brake fluid after lol)
Your best vid yet. Awesome job. Loved it.
This was our Admin Car hand me down in Yuma, before I departed the desert Southwest. It was a 2003 model, I believe. Baby blue. I went to check it out, because my car was in the shop and when I opened up the vehicle file there was a clear plastic bag inside the file. Inside of this pouch were the keys and old fuel receipts. Also in this pouch was the hood ornament for the Buick. Like one day it just fell off and someone said, "It's a government car, we've got to keep everything that's falls off of the Buick." I found a neck chain, like the kind you keep dog tags on, and put the hood ornament on the chain. I went home for lunch and when I returned I walked into the office wearing an Adidas track suit, a gold chain, sunglasses, a fedora and the Buick hood ornament... No one in the office could believe it and I simply told them, "You've gotta take this thing out someday..." And then I walked away. I hope the Buick is still loved now that I am gone.
Cool story Bro!!

This is the fastest a Buick has ever been driven in the history of mankind.
Me rippin' it up in my 1970 GS 455 would disagree. Crushed many an unsuspecting stoplight racer in that beast. I see what you're saying though 😁
Grand Nationals say hello....
Negative 😁
My LeSabre was locked at speed limit on the highway, but over the limit in mountain roads.
Going fast straight is boring, but lateral Gs are awesome.
There's something about these old boats that you just can't help but love.
You review so many cars I have bought for 1000 USD and then left on the side of the road after taking the tags off it and the info out of the glovebox
HagbardCeline does that even work to abandon it?
It does if you scratch off the VIN everywhere, and douse the interior with bleach.
HagbardCeline so why do you do that
You're going to RCR hell
Lol. That’s why I keep seeing 90s cars on the side of the highways? They’re abandoned? Lol.
