It’s the only Buick.

Yes, the T-type. I came within a fraction of an inch ordering one when these were new.
The proper use of that phrase (though, I will say, the current Regal is a more-than-acceptable use of it).
The GNX was the ultimate development of the turbo Buick, and most of these were socked away by collectors. Oh and the official horsepower rating was wildly understated.
Sports cars??? One of my Air Force pilot uncles had one of these turds new. Yup, very fast in a straight line, for the day. Turns? Weeeellll. Stopping? Well, it goes really fast in a straight line. I guess it was well-engineered, he didn’t manage to blow it up like the ‘86 Monte Carlo SS it replaced. And he drove it…
Yeah. This. I’m tired of CL ads advising how “easy” it is to get a clear title from a Bill of Sale or “lien papers”. Right.
Exactly this. I see SO many ads with “no title.” Usually this means there’s a title loan involved the owner won’t pay off. But in this case, the one person who has a snowball’s chance of getting the title, is too flippin’ lazy to do the legwork.
My loto dream: Do a recreation/ Restomod on a ‘68 C3 ‘Vette and turn it back into what it originally was meant to be... a Pontiac Banshee
I have no idea if that’s a good price, but this is exactly the Corvette I’d want to start with: a clean body and a VIN, because I’d throw the rest away. New chassis set up for modern suspension, big discs all around, and an LS backed up by a 6-speed. Custom interior, custom paint, custom hood, maybe a few small body…
I’m going to ignore the registration and just speak about the car.
Sean Payton’s “business is no worse off”? What does that mean? The Saints? He doesn’t own the team. Gayle Benson does. And her business is worse off because of it. So are a lot of businesses in Louisiana who stood to make a lot of money off of Saints gear/fever if they made it to the Superbowl. And you know who else…
The problems you are talking about could be addressed by giving NFL HQ in NYC carte blanche to call a booth review on any kind of play in the last two minutes of any game, regular season or postseason. Yes, I’m a Saints homer, but I’m also right: no trip to the Super Bowl should ever depend on something like this that…
The very simple solution to the problem you describe would be to rule that only penalties/potential penalties that materially affected the play can be reviewed. (Or if that’s still too vague, force the coach throwing the challenge flag to explicitly say what he’s challenging). So if you think there was pass…
How many takes are we gonna have to read from these dunderheads complaining about how long reviews would take when the answer is a booth panel that reviews every play and sends down the answer within seconds. Coaches still limited to the 2 or 3 they get today. It is not a hard problem to solve.
You simply challenge the no call. Its like challenging there was a catch vs. challenging there wasn’t a catch. It’s not rocket science.
Getting to the Super Bowl is incredibly difficult to do and takes such an unbelievable commitment from a team and support from its fans.
Wait, are we just talking about pass interference and skipping over the unnecessary roughness?
People want to go see movies where they can enjoy themselves and have a good time, not oddly color-graded deconstructions of heroism bogged down with unnecessary CGI.
