Well, at least I'm distracted.  And smiling.  I got a new car -- best one ever!  See my new baby here:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buick-Riviera-2dr-Cpe-/152014059321?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2364be7739:g:AUEAAOSwG-1Ww6~s&item=152014059321.  Scroll down to see it inside and out.

It wasn't this one (mine has 155,000 miles on it), but in near-mint condition and in all respects the same car, even the gray color (except mine doesn't have the green racing stripes on the doors).  Drives like a dream.  Only 18,000 were made, so it's a rare car.  The base price listed at $30,010 in 1996.  Has a reputation as one of the best, mechanically reliable cars ever made.  And, unbelievably (for its size--17 ft x 6.5 ft, the Chevy Suburban beats it by only nine inches--and weight--3,800 lbs.), the mpg is similar to my old Honda Accord (city low 20s, highway high 20s, blended mid-20s).  The only downside is a supercharged engine requires premium gasoline.  I'll live with it.  And when I check out of this lifetime, it'll become the hottest casket on planet Earth.  (And my son thinks he's going to get it.  Ha!  I'm takin' it with me.)

And, did I mention hot?  Oh, yeah!  Already had two guys eyeballing it yesterday.  :D

  • I am so happy for you Cheryl, it is a beauty, Na the guys were eyeballing you. I have two old cars on life support I understand what a newer car means. Or should I say an older car that is like new.
