Hey everybody. I have finally made it to this point. Seems like the introduction usually comes first but just maybe I operate backwards. Hell I don't know. Anyhow the weather is great and the water is fine come on in. I seriously want this winter over and done with. I have a incredible car that is allergic to the cold. Well mainly the salt. 1986 Buick Grand National. What? What? You might be asking yourself. What in the world is a Buick owner doing on the F body site? Well My love for F bodies is a bizarre one. My first car was an 84 Camaro Z28. I always wanted a first generation. Something about them just stops me in my tracks and makes me drool for a few. Especially when there is a big block jammed in there. Ah who am I kidding? Cram a 355, 383, or a 406 in there with a fat cam ground on a 106 with a nice thump, thump, thump pouring out of the 3" flowmasters and I have just wet myself. So I think that sums up my love for the f bodies. I have had a 79 and an 81 Z28. 83 Berlinetta, 84 Z28 and now I am looking for a 4th gen. I would like to buy an older one and just have some fun with it, but I will not deal with a 2nd gen with spring shackles on the verge of popping through the rear seats. So I am moving on. Time for 4th gen. And if the motor happens to die this will give me a reason to build the 383 I have sitting on standby. So that is about it. I want to drive my car and put the little v6 power to the road.
Everyone I hope you enjoy this read. If it makes sense then I think I am in the right place. If not, I guess I go back to the stuck up turbo buick site.
Thanks for allowing me to be part of your wonderful family of friends and lovers of fine quality automobiles.

Sorry that you had such a hard time getting to this point though - it was all my fault that you were experiencing the issues you experienced. Post often, be social, and feel free to kick back and join in on the conversations.
