  1. "Avanti, pezzo di merda Italiano." (the gender of the adjective needs to agree with pezzo, which is masculine). Ask Paolino.
  2. Y O M O M M A, Chargerino!
  3. Interesting, Bobo. Just like the Beverly Hillbillies Mansion was at 701 Bel Air Road and, guess what, I think that it has been torn down or modified extensively because you can't see it anymore as you once could. I tried to show it to my cousin who was visiting in summer of 2004. At any rate, something tipped me off that the Brady House was NOT at a Burbank address. The street signs would have been forest green if it was in Burbank. Instead, they were mostly dark blue with some white - standard City of L.A. graphics, of which Studio City is a "neighborhood." I'll go look at it next time I'm down there.
  4. muffler
  5. It's in Burbank ??? It screamed West Valley. I don't really like it. The nasty stone and the vertical board and batten....I don't think so. I always liked the "Bewitched" house better. It looked more substantial with all the brick.
  6. Extendable sun visors, typically found on Buicks - mine has them. I used it today.
  7. Clear spacing is not to exceed 4" - a 4" sphere cannot pass through two balusters.By the way, what neighborhood is the Brady house in? I've often heard Chatsworth. I'd sure like to know.
  8. Ebonics
  9. Numerous: A separate wiper stalk as on Grand Prix A coin tray to the left of the steering wheel Coin holder in the center console A sunglass area and garage door opener area in the overhead console A clip for parking passes, etc. as on Malibu Expanding cup holders that can hold jumbo cups A telescoping steering wheel Ignition key in the dashboard Battery under the rear seat as on Bonneville Blue illumination at night Switchable reading lamps in the rear compartment I am sure I can come up with more.
  10. delightful
  11. If you buy/trade as many cars as you do, you can't complain about money woes. Be cheap ... like me!
  12. doubtful
  13. That engine is sort of the midpoint between the 350 and the 260 and I am almost sure is hewn out of the same block (different bore). It, too, is super long-lived though I have never owned one.
  14. not many (people)
  15. Really? I always wondered about 2.2 Ecotecs? What kind of mileage have they racked up? Any problems?
  16. Right you are. I currently have a 92 Regal coupe with the 3800 V6. It is nudging 225,000 hassle free miles and not burning ANY oil in between changes, extremely quiet and returning the EPA sticker mileage to this day. Therefore, best engines, in my mind / experience: 1. Buick 3800 V6 engine 2. Oldsmobile Rocket 350 c.i. and 260 c.i. V8s (we had these in 2 Oldsmobiles, though only the former in the one I drove) 3. Chevrolet in-line 250 c.i. L-6 (my Dad had this in a Pontiac LeMans early 70s coupe which he kept as a second car that was the only one the dog could ride in)
  17. Which is amazing because final assembly is carried out at Oshawa, Ontario, Canada...the best plant in North America.By the way, The O.C., I had another one of these THIS past weekend and, when pressed into action, the 3900 is noisy. My Regal 3800 with over 200,000 miles is quieter because as soon as I got onto a ramp on Sunday night, I floored it to hear how noisy it is -- it isn't. I am not impressed with the 3900 the way you are.
  18. road rage !!!!!!!!!!
  19. No. I think the cluster is too small. There's TOO much empty space in the dash. it doesn't all have to be filled up, but I would have done it differently.
  20. No way. Import loving, liberal Portland OR likes a Buick product. There is hope after all.
  21. It's too subtle...it's almost not worth doing. And it's an expensive option...almost $ 300.
  22. See, I knew WMJ would lead the pack...Minnesota rust and all.
  23. gas hog
  24. I stand corrected. When did this change?
