My 89 had the 2-tone dash. My 93 did not. Maybe when they started adding the airbag they changed to solid color? I have no idea. 

This is one of those articles that makes me cry a little less about living in flyover country.

Most people have a hard enough time driving just a car. I can just imagine how bad it would be attaching a trailer behind most idiots.

In heaven there is no beer... 

This video brought tears to my eyes and I haven’t even watched it yet.  What poor soul still records video in portrait mode?

I never understood why you would ever hand over the keys to your trade, let alone say you are trading, without first having a written agreement on purchase price. I've had more than one dealer not want to give me a price without first knowing how I was paying and if I was trading. They didn't get my business. Dealers

I tip 25% give or take a few cents of the post tax amount because it’s easy to calculate in my head. More for outstanding service. But there is something to be said about choosing your career and education level.

This is why I never buy used cars anymore. Carfax and Autocheck don’t show shit for months after occurrence.  I got burned by this once. Never again. 

In his defense, there really isn't much to do in Iowa City besides get drunk. 

Why no comparison to the Regal GS? The GS may not be as fast but you get a better all around car for less. Plus it's all wheel drive. 

Many of the farmers have plenty of the real cash crop hidden along the fence rows to make up for it. At least that’s the way it was back when I lived there and grew up farming.

I've been a long time season ticket holder and have met Moore on a few occasions. He's a severely religious man and that has clouded his judgement a few times. I also think him and Ned have served their purposes here and it's time to move on from them. I don't want to wait another 30 years. 

I’ve concluded that it’s more common if you have rings on your hands. My wedding band is unobtrusive and I mostly open the door with my right hand anyway. My car has basically no scratches. My wife has a huge diamond on one hand and a large turquoise on the other.  Her car looks like Freddie Kruger had a field day

It’s not recommended for the GS. It is recommended for the turbo 4 in the lower models.

Not true. Premium is not required for 100% power in the GS. The trubo 4-cylinder in the lower models are rated using Premium.

I absolutely love it. Of course I was coming from driving a 2008 Dodge Dakota and was tired of driving truck. The interior is extremely comfortable. I cross shopped it with the Stinger GT and although the Kia is faster it’s just not nearly as refined. Not that the Regal has a super luxurious interior, but it’s

Regular is all that is required. No premium necessary. Although I did just get a letter from GM in the mail yesterday to take my GS into the dealer and they will remove the incorrectly placed Premium Fuel Required sticker that is under the gas cap. I looked and sure enough it is there.

Weight is still listed incorrectly. 3,796 lbs is the correct weight. I don’t understand why so many places list it incorrectly. Even Buick’s own materials have it at 4,270 lbs in some places and 3,796 in others. 

I’ve read somewhere (here maybe?) that that is likely the approach GM will take especially with the sale of Opel, which is the source of the current Regal. The Buick cars don’t sell well but the SUV’s do. The dealer that got my Regal for me has no intentions of stocking any because he still has several 2017 Lacrosse’s

They come out with a Grand National I’m trading in my GS. Don’t care the loss I take on it.
