Proof positive that Buick ownership causes irreversible brain damage...
 
Tiger has a kid and a gorgeous wife. What could he possible need a two seater for? Now the caddy just got married a year or two ago. Additionally by giving it away he is no longer responsible for the full tax liability caused by winning it.

Sorry wrong answer, if he won it and accepted it he is taxed on its value. If he gives it away not only is he taxed on the value of the car he might incur a gift tax (unless its donated to a bonified charity).

Regal GS around that vintage that wasn't a bad looking ride. (search buick regal gs on ebay, look at the red one)
 
Couldn't find one on EBay but this should be close;
 
Buick Regal GS
 
Looks like a nice car but I thought you had to prove you were 80 or over before they would give you a Buick. I heard they have a new option, it automatically turns off your signal light if you don't actually make a turn in 2 miles

my guess - Tiger is not worried about taxes.

He also expects Ford to go under if GM does. So what does that say?
 
Ford and GM share same parts suppliers. If GM goes under, suppliers will go under and pull Ford down with them.
 
I still don’t think that GM and Ford will survive unless UAW is disbanded. No company can survive if they have to pay an army of retirees and their spouses a pension and health benefits for the rest of their lives? Is there any other company that still offers these benefits to their current blue color employees?

driver....those supercharged Buicks were something of a sleeper. I still see a lot of those (and the supercharged Gran Prix) around. Based on the ubiquitous 3.8L GM V6 (which had quite a following). The GENERAL slapped a supercharger on them for customers that wanted a bit more "sport" in their rolling couches.
 
isell....I would also ask that you extend my kind wishes to Mack when you get in touch with him again. Glad to hear he's doing better.
 
Chrysler? Nardelli? I agree. Cerebus/Chrysler is a private company. They deserve public money, why exactly? Daimler/Cerebus did everything within their power to screw Chrysler. We're supposed to clean up their mess? I'm thinking....NO! FIrst, Daimler still has a vested interest in Chrysler. They're a foreign entity. If Nardelli can't put forth a better plan than what he's laid out, I can't see any reason for us to agree to their bailout.
 
Wagoner and GM....I don't know any of the specifics of what models he's axing, plants he's going to shutter, or how he's planning to sustain GM past the next few months (let alone the next few years). Still, gotta do better than what I'm hearing.
 
Ford and Mullaly? Seems to have a better handle on what Ford needs to do. Still, I have yet to hear any concrete details on how he intends to stay out of putting his hand in the public till.

Sent me an email last week and he was very much alive
 
Thanks Isell..... I was a little worried. I just emailed to see if I get a response because I haven't heard from him in about 3 weeks.
 
 
Hope he is having his favorite burrito

You are right GG in everything you say and it seems like a good buy for under $30,000.
Just not too many self respecting Bimmer or Audi drivers will give it a try.
