Same here. Now my son is into it, except he has his mother’s copy of all the books and what not (we each had a set back in 89).

Looks more like part of the mathematical proof of the D2D theory from Season 1, Episode 8 (Season Finale) of HBO’s “Silicon Valley”, specifically the D2F variable piece of the equation.

Back when I used to race in SCCA Hillclimbs, I used to two my Mk2 VW Golf on a single axle trailer (not a dolly) through the Pocono mountains with a 1981 Air Cooled VW Vanagon (which only had 60 something horsepower when it was new (some 15 years prior to my owning it). Sure, I had one of three Vanagons with a class…

I believe you meant to say, “fresh curbs” instead of “fresh meat”.

In both my Grand Marquis and my Park Avenue the “Fuel Low” readout (on the Park Avenue) is inline with the idiot light (on both) for low fuel. Both manuals indicate it is roughly 2.5 gallons until dry. Approximately 40 miles assuming city cycle. It has been pretty damn accurate in both cases. I’m an engineer, don’t…

Any 3800 series powered Buick is a fine hand-me-down. They’re also low mileage and have very little that can or will go wrong with them.

What people thought was tripped up during singing the anthem was a misunderstanding by the tv viewers. What you see on tv, is different from the echo heard in a stadium. As someone who has been on stage and dealt with PA systems in larger venues, this is normal. If you change the audio delay, you’ll see he’s…

The 2003 Buick Park Avenue came with a hood ornament, and I believe certain edition Grand Marquis into the 2000's also came with a hood ornament.

The main difference between the Bugatti and the Agera is that the Bugatti does what it does with a minimal of NVH whereas the Agera makes it impossible to hear one’s self think due to the engine’s sound filling the cockpit. The Bugatti can be driven at WOT at over 200mph and as many reviews have pointed out, allow…

I will say that the Lincoln is the quietest of the bunch, and that any higher-end Buick is going to be considerably quieter and roomier, but your argument that being 6’2” makes the car cramped for you implies something flawed with your idea of “wrong”. I’m 6’3”and have absolutely no issues with comfortable seating…

Agreed, they’re hideous cars. I took my license test in one, and while I have driven a few ridiculously powered (supercharged) examples from the same era, those were solely exercises in curiosity.

When they were kept in good condition, (and I’m including bushings and all the suspension bits), the more plush variants, such as a Grand Marquis LS or a Lincoln Town Car signature model, they’re pretty damn nice. Quiet, Lots of low-end torque on tap, Comfortab, roomy and ridiculously low cost to maintain/keep…

I’ve owned several of both. RWD Volvo’s and currently daily drive a Park Avenue. I do have to say that the new S90 may be my nextdaily driver, they can be had fully-loaded for relatively cheap with the incentives now.

Hey, no dissing the Vanagon. I had a 1981 air cooled with a class III hitch that I used to tow a full trailer with my racecar through the mountains of Pennsylvania amongst other states. It was a four-speed manual, with most of a Westfalia interior, it was awesome... Aside from the horrid 1980s yellow and brown…

This is why I like my 2003 Buick Park Ave. It has a split bench seat, it has a column shifter and it has a heads-up display on the windshield. It’s quieter than most cars out there, it’s solid as a rock and comfortable like very few others. I also have the benefits of paying lower insurance while still driving around…

This depends where you live. I am in the Philadelphia metro area and I see one fitbit for every ten (or more) Apple watches. Whether I’m in the suburbs, Philadelphia (center city) or on the regional rail lines, the Watch is far more prevalent. I do see more fit-bits than non-Apple smart watches though. I see *very…

I disagree. I drive an 03 Park Avenue and will continue to buy that size because of the factors pertaining to wheelbase length, comfort, sound deadening material and actual comfortable interiors that are rare on any car in smaller sizes. This coming from someone who used to compete in Hillclimbs & Rally in a MkII…

I have a 2003 Buick Park Avenue and suffer from a very similar issue pertaining to the turn indicators. It isn’t just that the blinker indicators in the dash don’t match the lights flashing in the side mirrors, neither of those are synchronized with the heads-up display on my windshield. So I have three turn signal…

Wings provide downforce. Spoilers throw turbulent air which otherwise causes drag, further back from the car so as to alleviate said drag. People unfortunately have this habit of confusing the two, and their purposes. The truth, at least in the case of “spoiler” is right in the name. The wing is similar, but the…

This is at least something that should make every American smile with pride during the Christmas season, now that the right man for the job won the presidency.
