Is it me or does that regal have massive tires on it.

Like you need a new user.

It's you

Got rid of the Maxima Bill. Found out nobody is paying for my injury and thats a career-ender so no need for a new car. Refrigerator box ahoy.

Done did. (pardon my southern) Waiting for callback to see if my first choice will take it. As far as my hand is concerned the pooch is already screwed, can't undo that.

Thought soo....

Perfect

its got the electric turbo too. should jump on this.

Well the pooch remains screwed, lawyer turned me down. Sigh. Drove the car home though so thats progress. It hurt some to put the bumper back on but I better just get over the pain part and try to smile. I do keep looking at this ad though... since I have actually had Chevys and liked them. Its just so dang elderly looking. I could go get it now I guess but I'm mentally destroyed and not really fit to decide anything at this time.

Bet that electric turbocharger actually made the car lose power. Lol

A little bumpdate on this...

Spoke with the cop who worked that wreck today, he has been investigating on his own and did make contact with a 911 caller although she was looking down when the crash happened. I gave him a much clearer statement today than at the scene and he thought it sounded logical because he was leaning that way from studying the traffic light's log. The guy in the truck will be given another chance to add anything he thought of as well, then an amendment to the police report will be made. Depending on what it says, this deal could turn around for me without court. Not holding my breath but am crossing fingers, so to speak. Meanwhile, well I've had the GTP up to 95 and I didn't die. So I'm gonna go to work tomorrow and hopefully this is the beginning of the end of a bad dream.

I've offered the pair of black GPs up to a couple dealer / rebulder buddies as a package with ALL my extra parts for about the price of one nice GTP. One not too interested, the other wants to go together and put my spare L67 in his race car body and go roundy-round racin on a nearby 10-turn road course with him. Boy that gave me pause.... nah. If those guys don't scarf it up, my current plan is to fix my old GT first (and yes theres a reason), then the GTP. Right now I'll be shuffling the GTP and 69GP for a few days until that ball is rolling.

Thanks for the read, just didn't want the thread to end up on such a sour note as where I left it with the previous post. This ordeal took me to some dark places, man.

Wow. **** it I made up my mind. I will quit my job and sell useless **** on eBay like hairdryer intakes and massive HP chips.

Finally... found this thread. I was thinking of posting one that follows the 23 year trail of GP tears. SO many incidents / stories there. But yeah this is probably more fun and relevant. As you saw, my trusty GTP may not be too tweaked from Monday's crash. "Super Betty" might live onward yet...

SEDANS ARE OUT, PERIOD. The fart can cars... well yep I think everyone should carry one in the trunk.

Thanks for hunting up some options though, Bill. Looks like 70 or 75 series tires on the Buford, interesting to see that they clear the struts. I bet that thing is slow as molasses in January and soft as butter in July! Honestly when I started the FWD GP madness, I admit being interested in Rivieras. But they have even more troublesome garbage hung on them.

What do you guys say to a 3800 trike? All I need is half a big heavy bike and some pipe. Wonder if I could street-legal that, it would be fun for summer and offroading. Prolly ought to use the L36 for that idea. If somebody gave me a Corvair coupe, that could get interesting also. Unfortunately, except for doing emergency DD fixes at the shop theres no place I can play except for my tiny one car garage. I reckon the GTP will go back into service rather than me finding another one this time. The smart thing to do is a cheap wreck fix then keep my eyes open for local steals on GPs that need stuff I have and start flippin.

Nothing is gonna get flipped by me for awhile, this swollen wrist is more like swollen half of forearm today. The sting from catching the airbag as I went for the horn reminds me of those days when there was more kids than gloves so you catch a baseball bare-handed... but not quite right into the hand.

No red ones- http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4866738831.html

If I could stand extra doors or liked the looks of 04+... http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4859284048.html

Hmm, modded- http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4858527353.html

Cream puff with some wrong stuff- http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4844807714.html

Who knows?- http://fayar.craigslist.org/cto/4835316025.html

I AM fairly old but I do know about CL, used it many times.

If I wanted to go back to two purple cars-

http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/4858232821.html

I was searching under $1500 to keep it cheap. It's a GP afterall.

So no 4 doors, even something like a Regal? Which BTW should be on 225/60/16's.

Nope, no more-doors for this man. Just more disposable junk Pontiacs. I did make a comment about maybe a Century front clip swap, onto a GP. Trouble is, all 3800 cars are worth about as much a cheeseburger so wrenching on them doesn't make much sense.
