Stop giving me such ripe opportunities to annoy you with my wood-paneled glory. On top of the lavish looks, beefy Corvette engine, and hefty towing power, the 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon LT1 Collector’s Edition has eight(!) luxurious leather seats. And the absolute best part? No goddamn captain’s chairs. Every…
Nailed it. And to the guy who says “that’s every industry” I can confirm that it absolutely is not. Source of knowledge: my 6 weeks working in a dealership and my subsequent 2 years (and counting) for a non-profit.
I didn’t work in sales, but I worked at a dealership for 6 weeks. That place was full of idiots. The general manager only talked to me once and that was to criticize the popcorn that I made for the service waiting area. I was yelled at because I was told to bring a new truck to the owner drop off area, which was…
WWE has actually been adapting quite well (compared to other existing forms of entertainment) and they’ve done a good job of treating improving their treatment of non-white wrestlers and generally opening things up to the standards of “millenials” (again, this is compared to other traditional sports and entertainment…
I don’t appreciate you underplaying the devastation of Jimmy Johnson’s BIG CHILL. I know next to nothing about this man but I do know that they have amazing rum buckets. So if you won’t mourn for Jimmy (and of course nobody will), mourn for the rum buckets.
Here we go again. You keep finding people who are just perfect candidates for Buick Roadmaster Wagons. I don’t want to keep recommending them because that means less stock and higher prices when I finally get some land to start a wide-scale up a Roadmaster rescue operation. But in the interest of helping out a…
I totally forgot about Ojibwe Forest! I couldn’t go this year because I was moving. But I will try my best be there even if just to watch next year. And even if you guys just need somebody to keep you coated in bug spray you can count me in!
I was joking, I live in MN. Though I have always wanted to be involved in rallying in some way. It’s the craziest, best form of motorsport IMO. If you ever make your way out to the midwest I’d gladly join you! No one knows how to handle a Roadmaster like I do!
Ooooohhhhh. I might be a bit jealous - only a little bit - of you and your future RWD rally car. Please tell me you’re getting this exact one and keeping that livery? Also that I can be your tow vehicle captain and race vehicle co-driver? I can imagine no better weekend than towing that thing to the woods with the…
Want to trade it for an ‘08 TL with 114k? Just kidding... kind of. But seriously, whatcha gonna get?
My dad has a Z4M Coupe, so it’s the same drivetrain as the E46 M3 as well as all the other BMW parts bin goodness. It hasn’t been awful but the silly things like the $100 oil changes, the unreplaceable key fob battery that only charges in the ignition, and the random dead batteries are enough to keep me off the brand.
That’s what keeps me interested in American (and Japanese) over German. I’d love love love an S4 Avant but I’m scared shitless of repairing anything on it. And last night after remarking to my dad that the FR-S/BRZ can be had in the mid-teens and that it might make a good compliment to the Buick he suggested I go for…
Word on the forums is the Monroe Severe Service shocks are the way to go. They’re what go on cop cars and other heavy duty car applications. I’m pretty sure those are what got put in mine. It might also be a good idea to fit a sway bar to stop it from wallowing.
That’s great that it has a new trans in it. That is probably the biggest worry if you’re towing with a Roadmaster, but at 30k you have a long time before you see any issues. And to find a rust-free one is a true gem. Mine’s a MN car and while there are a few issues somebody definitely paid attention to it, so luckily…
That’s awesome! I’m glad you found something that met all your needs and looks good doing it. How trouble free is it? Because if it’s legitimately clean then you got a good deal.
I wondered that too and it seems like it’s not an actual video of the run. I watched the road and background and they seem to pass by at the same rate after a few seconds. Plus the whole thing just lacks the looks of a 200+mph shot.
Wait, did you seriously but a Roadmaster after seeing this comment? I’m so happy I could die.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Matt and Trey (and the show they make) don’t Mormons or Jews. They point out flaws in them whilst pointing out flaws in every other system. Nobody’s perfect. But if you still think they hate Mormons you can look to their musical, The Book of Mormon, which has been endorsed by the LDS Church and whose playbook has…
Alright so I read the requirements and found the perfect fit: a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon Collector’s Edition! You’re probably looking at this boat (the white one, not the red one) thinking “if you actually read the requirements, you’d know I said I wanted a small car that’s fun to drive and has three…
