Sell your car and use the proceeds to fund an overdose of your preference. ---

I drive a stock Buick LeSabre as my DD. I started this car when I was in high-school and I did a lot of work with it, especially with my grandpa - has sentimental value. I wanted to finish the project before starting something new. Yes, I did make this car a money pit, yes if I had to rethink my thoughts, I wouldn’t of done this to a GA but then again, I was starting my senior year in highschool 4 - 5 years ago and I couldn’t afford any of the quicker cars at the time and what do I know in general at that age. I respect all the comments and welcomes, but at least I never went all out on Pepboy’s clearance section on it. I have nothing to brag about nor argue about. I am here just to be part of the NY automotive group and I am not a ricer on the streets. I don’t even consider myself a domestic tuner. The main point of this car is to have a unique look, which it does 🙂 and a GM Eaton S/C with alky injection down the road. Even with that, I would probably be at 210 hp and won’t be nothing to brag about. I’m like all of you, an automobile fan and like to drive fast when I can. However, I do hope I run into some of the members on this site and maybe they can wait up for me when they are crusing 😉 I plan on having a two tone color with a grey on bottom and a form of orange on top. I am a big fan of the automotive forums - 5 overall and I will try to come around much more to this site. ---
