  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Funny car comment

    Ask any full size Buick owner what comment they hear about their car most often, and they will tell you its the typical "what a boat." The most overused, unoriginal and stupid comment ever. So when I was leaving a car show recently with my '67 Electra I heard a creative new take on the tired boat comment. As I was pulling away, I heard a girl say, "watch it when it goes by...it looks like a mattress!" That made my day- I laughed about it all the way home!

    I get " They dont make em like that anymore" My reply is thats probably a good thing. Then theres ppl that will argue it was built as a front wheel drive and I modified it. Others insist that the GSX Riviera was one of the rarest cars made( their correct). My all time fave was the guy that walked up with a perfectly serious look on his face and said "nice GTO man" I just said thanks!

    If that were real it'd have the scoops on the hood and correct air cleaner
