Been looking forward to driving my GN up and cruisin. Ocean city car cruise was a total washout and I had to cancel . Latest guidance actually looks drier for us northerners so crossing my fingers . Oh wow. I last went there in about 1986. (Very hot, sunny day I think). Had a friend who had since sold his '56 Chevy but really wanted a true street rod, so we went to York. Gearhead heaven.

Weezer fans have been trying to get them to do a cover of "Africa" for awhile, and then they did do a cover, but of "Rosanne." It's an entertaining story and worth a.Google, but here's where it apparently started. https://noisey.vice.com/en_au/article/pazg3g/meet-the-hero-teen-determined-to-convince-weezer-to-cover-totos-africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Picked up a 2018 Parabola from Firestone. Question is, how long will I be able to look at it in it's pretty little box before my jonesing overwhelms. I dont think it survives the weekend. lol. Currently sipping on a Dino S'mores from Off Color. Pretty "light" and balanced Russian Imperial. Not hoppy at all. Hints of vanilla and lots of dark chocolate and a bit of dark fruit. Smooth and very drinkable. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Today is one of those mornings when a I wake up, shake out the cobwebs, and then celebrate that I didn't do anything too stupid last night. A buddy and I got into a friend's Belgian sour homebrews last night and let our hair down so to speak. Now I'm debating whether a little nip of Irish whiskey in my coffee will put me back on even keel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Punch amps are 30 years old and still put out clean power . The car has run a best of 10.90 @ 125 mph Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Damn that is an impressive quarter mile time. Must have it pretty heavily modded. The GN was a great sleeper, with the turbocharged 3.8. In those days they were blowing the doors off the vettes lol. That was awesome.

CAPE Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Here is my SRT8. Pretty much stock other than the Borla exhaust. Supposedly turns 13.2 in the quarter mile, but I dont race it. Trying to sell it because I have had it 3 years and thats about as long as I keep a vehicle. Its a daily driver and I drive a lot so it racks up the miles. Only 2k miles on the new engine though.

Yea...I've had my GN for 24 years and raced every weekend i could from 1995 to 2010 or so .And there was a group of 6 Buicks including me that would hang out on the street on weekends ( Glen Burnie, Westminster , but mostly up in Hanover in @showmethesnow s hood - there might still be burn marks in front of his house . We'd race on Clearview rd. And Eisenhower Dr. up there)and we owned the street circuit for years ..alot of fun .Went to all the big national turbo Buick events in that time . I just occasionally race it now but without a roll cage ( I refuse to put one in) local tracks tell me slow it down or leave. I don't have that problem at Buick only events because they don't care...LOL. As far as mods it's a full weight car except for the fiber glass bumbers. It still retains the 3.8 stock block but with forged internals. Heavily ported heads, intake, headers, massive downpipe, bigger turbo , Front mount intercooler, alcohol injection mixed w/ 93 gas ...and many many more mods. I tune it with software used on a laptop computer that utilizes 1995 windows and a laptop from 1999..lol . I didn't have to do much modifications to the stock computer either because these cars were so far ahead of there time. These cars aren't for the non wrenchers ...I had to learn to tune and fix everything myself over the years . That 1 pic you see the corner of my dad's 87 turbo T I was working on at the time ...mostly stock . Reminding me of my teen years when I lived up there. I had a 1964 Chevy II Sport coupe with a 327 I built. Was originally a 194 straight 6 car. Used to cruise all around there and we would race after school on that straight run of Gist Rd. Used to also race down 140 late on a Friday night. Ha those were the days. That stuff just cant happen today. Too many people, cars, and cops.

And looks didn't mean crap. If I had a dime for every time I raced a car with tubbed wheels , nitros, wheelie bars, etc and they couldn't keep up with me..

Something I never play so explains why I wouldn't get it. I see "A6" and what comes to my mind is the Audi. Its a super nice car and quick. Not as quick as a modded up 1987 GN running on alcohol though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
