In reply to Stampie :

Yeah, I guess they only made it to social media and not to this thread.

Going to drop this here.

Funny that I don't see add all the nitious on the list.

Huh, so that's how you'd fix the bog at WOT.*

*If you fix the bog at WOT, I cannot guarantee the rest of the car won't explode from all the raw power you'll have unleashed.

The processed-blondes in the school drop-off line will be so excited with your new ride.

Think they'll be disappointed when I remove the back seat?

I dunno, but I'll expect a full report.

Thanks to jgrewe and the GRM express by way of Mr_Asa this will be the coolest 85 Riviera ever to compete at the Challenge. 

We got tires. 

All the nitrous. 

The nitrous will wake up that 307.
 

I'm interested in how well it will turn. Does it have a rear sway bar?

I haven't even picked up the car yet.

And yet you've already got the nitrous for it. Awesome. 

In reply to Floating Doc (Forum Supporter) :

I'm hoping the longer I leave it with Tom he'll get bored and drop the torsion bars for me.  Not working so far.

And just like that, the Buick joined team Stampie!

In reply to Tom Suddard :

Damn that's a sexy man standing at the Buick's door.

Yep we loaded up after work and headed down. First thing was check for an antiroll bar in the rear for Floating Doc.

Check.  Then Lil Stampie jumped in to drive it onto the trailer. 

Once loaded up we stopped at a gas station. Didn't need gas just the principle of the matter.

Now we're home. Pretty sure I'm picking Lil Stampie up at school Friday on 32s.

In reply to Stampie :

At what point do you start calling him "Tall Stampie"?

In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :

He's still an inch shorter than me and half my weight.  At 13.  Damn kids.

Team work makes the dream work that is what I see on the latest update that you made.

I may be off base here, but do you think that phrase applies to canoes?  If I'm mistaken I apologize.

Don't you hate when the PO texts you the next day telling you what you should do with the car?

In reply to Stampie :

Hate to say it, but I agree with Tom. 

In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :

Right?! You know what's cooler than running an 11-second quarter mile? Doing it cradled in rich GM velour! 

The velour makes it go faster

Gut it. Spray it to the moon. Less weight goes faster everywhere.

Just like a track suit!

I'm reminded of a then little Lil Stampie playing in the back seat of a new to us Q45. "Oh look it has power rear seats!" "Yeah and it'll be faster when we rip that E36 M3 out!"
