Default The adventures of Buick


Today I got a chance to line up at a light with my Honda buddy from work, he's driving a 4 cylinder Accord (early-mid 90's body, right after the box shape) until his Accord coupe with H-22 swap is finished. So, the Buick vs the Accord. I actually beat him through first gear. Not bad for an 80' something 3600lb car with a 4banger based on a late 40's early 50's design. I still hung pretty close in second and third too (out of three gears, lol). Chalk up some respect for the 4Tec, baby!

LOL! Good win Ed. Where was the Buick at Saturday? We never go a chance to check it out and maybe race it.

I parked over in front of the Best Buy, that's where I met my gal (the one that left a few minutes after I got there grrrrr). Just didn't ever get around to moving it. Who knows, it probably would have overheated again anyways. Twice on the way there, twice on the way back. Once I've been on the interstate for more than about a half hour (driving at my usually 80mph or so), if I slow down to offramp speeds it hits cutoff. Flushed the radiator this weekend, and the fan is shot. lol, yet another part that doesn't work, woohoo!
