People coming up at gas stations and the store is no problem. I'll chat with them and answer any questions. I live in a very poor rural area and most folks drive beaters n old pick up trucks. The ones that irk me are people that ride my 1/4 panel while I'm on the road. They get just into that spot where ya cant really see em in the mirror and just ride along so I cant change lanes ect. They'll take pictures and then as they finally pass by its looking straight forward like they didnt notice anything. (sometimes) I do really appreciate the ones that simply roll by and give me a smile and thumbs up.
Chipmunk was eating my wife’s strawberry plant in the deck this morning. As I’m laughing my butt she’s yell at me to make it go away. Then she sees how bad it’s really chewed up and starts cussing about the deer eating here plants.
Ive had a bunch of ''old'' cars and trucks so Im pretty used to people looking at and asking about my rides. Being a Buick guy Im used to the ''cool car what is it?'' type questions. My 62 Skylark leaves most people dumbfounded But I hate mustang people. I had a 68 mustang and the mustang lovers would drive me nuts nit picking and telling me everything I needed to do to make it cool. "Shame its not a fastback" I prefer a notch back, a fastback is just a hatchback. "You need to put a 390 in it" I like the 289. "You should put Shelby stripes on it'' Stripes on a burgundy notch back would look silly. "You should paint it blue with white stripes'' I painted it metallic burgundy because I think it looks good that way. ''Its too bad its not a 4spd'' Well I found a nice solid car with an automatic..... Just on and on till I got rid of the thing.
Thats when you know its time to roll the neighborhood in first gear and find that window rattling sweet spot . Then light them up infront of your own house. Remind them whos got the Bad Ass Buick.

Heard a couple good ones at a cruise-in last night. One fella comes up to me and says he had one like mine but it is was yellow and had a rear wing. I said "a GSX?" He says yeah, he bought a storage locker for $175 back in 1991 and the car was in it. Kept it for 11 years and sold it for $31K. Uh huh... And another was telling me about how he admired the torque of the Buick 455's and that it was almost as good as a Olds 330 he once had that grunted out 640 lbs/ft. of torque. Where do people get this stuff?
Funniest thing that ever happened to me. Wife and I are in Charlston SC for the day with BiggestRed, nice day, about 80 degrees, top down, CD playin' some Billy Joel, we be stylin'. With all this cruising around the big ole deuce is thirsty and I'm about an hour away from home and it's starting to get dark. Roll into gas station in a not so good neighborhood to fill up for the ride. I'm at he back of the car pumping gas and the wife is sitting in the car....top still down. I had noticed an old black wino sleeping up against a light post when I pulled in. Next thing I hear is a shrill voice screaming...........LAWD HAVES MERCY.......the wino jumped up and started heading for the car. My wife nearly died and I'm gonna get a tire iron out of the trunk. Suddenly he stops right next to the car and starts screaming , flailing, falling all over in a drunken stupor.................... 1---1969 Deuce an a Quarter 2---Connnnnvertible 3---430 cubic inch 4---360 horsepower 5---10.25 compression ratio 6---Turbo 400 Tranny 7---2.65 rear 8---Duel exhaust 9---Road wheels 10---Power EVERTHAAAAAAANG 11---Annnn RED on RED 12---Geeeeezuuuuus, ya'll sent my car to meeeeee ! Now a crowd is starting to gather as this guy is carrying on like a Dave Chapell skit. I got only about $5.00 worth of gas in Biggest, just enough for me to show them a 500 foot one legged patch as I left without saying goodbye. Took us about 10 minutes to recover from the shock of what just happened, and 50 minutes of laughing so hard we were crying. WTF was that ??????
