@fintail The period music is great. https://youtu.be/LICZjlpjpZ0?si=HVp3lZM8tOmkAnQ8

I missed about 4 pages, I have been ultra busy but I am putting in an appearance just for the fans.

This guy as 5 cars you should not buy....short and sweet and kind of amusing:

🔥HOT, Felt like 109. Thunder storm currently. Ahh, summer storms.

Sure it would have a salvage title but who cares if you drive it until the wheels fall off.

You, me and a couple of others are the only ones on here who would consider such heresy -- everything must be pristine, which is part of what keeps the car industry bumping along.

In the old days I drove many a car that was cosmetically AND structurally unsound because I couldn’t afford better. There a certain sense of accomplishment in just having a car start and go down the road when your alternative is walking.

Yeah, but you weren’t still showing a bunch of zeros on the odometer and still looking at years worth of future monthly payments on the old beater.

That’s a nice ‘71 coupe. I like the ‘71 and ‘72 Grand Villes best of all the years, and not just because of the bumpers. The ‘73 had some bad woodgrain imho, and a lot of it.

I always wondered if the hardtop coupe shared its roof structure with the hardtop sedan, for the '71-74 Grand Ville? I remember in one of the brochures, Pontiac bragging about how the back seat of the coupe had as much legroom as the sedan. I think it was around 39". With the "proper" B-bodies (Catalina, Bonneville, as well the Chevy/Olds/Buick models), the hardtop coupe gave up a few inches...something like 35.6" I believe.

I know this is crazy but what are y'alls thoughts on the Acadia?

I like the Buick Enclave better but that may be because you can get it with a white interior with blue accents, which would make most people's heads explode. The GMC has a Subaru-ish vertical tablet in the center of its dash which I don't particularly care for, but that's just me.

If I was getting another Enclave it absolutely would be the white over blue Avenir trim.

The Acadia was upsized again to meet the size of the Traverse and Enclave. I don't think you can wrong with any of them. If leasing it would come down to what has the best program.
