There's a lot to be said about giving zero fricks. I'm not at the stage of wearing velcro strap Nikes yet, but when it's time, I'll embrace them.

They're exponentially better than they were even just 5 years ago. That company has done a complete 180 and is putting out probably the best American brand cars on the market.


Truth of the matter is, ALL car companies have. Hyundai puts out a $20K car that if of far better quality now then Lexus had in their $50K car just 5 years ago.

There are MANY reasons why this is true, but it IS true, it makes me laugh when people start talking about this car is better than that car or whatever, just buy the one you like, they ALL have great quality any more.

My dad was just about to buy that. That Hurst shifter was cool. He stopped and opted for a GN.

Buick Grand National


My wife's uncle and cousin are really big into the classic car show community so we go around to a lot of them. The one 80s car I see more than any other is the Buick Grand National. I've talked to some owners and apparently some of them are even worth a chunk of change.

For those saying Jeeps...you would have to include the CJ-8 Scrambler



Have to add the Grand Wagoneer, as well.



Very underrated Dodge Omni Shelby GLHS



Would have included the Trans Am...but they stopped putting the 6.6 in them in '79. From then on...they pretty much had the 305 (with the exception of 1980, when they had the 4.9 Turbo option)

What is the point of the cupholders that can't hold anything while the car is in motion?

It's good to see that people are in favor of the Family Truckster.

That'll make this guy happy.
