My mother has a 99 buick that has the supercharged 3.8 in it. It is pretty quick and drives good all the way to florida at 85 mph

I have a blown pontiac, 2002. I bought it used but am the 1st registered owner of the car. Right now it has 25000 miles on it. It had a wheel balance problem at 200 miles, and then had the wheel & tire replaced shortly after that. It gets 24mpg and runs fine. Hopefully we'll get 200K+ miles out of this thing. My wife drives it at the moment. The only thing I noticed "weird" with it is - since it's heavy and geared high, it's sluggish off the line and I'm not willing to beat the pee out of it to get it moving. But once it's moving, it moves nicely. Another thing I'll do is run it in 3rd gear when in traffic or around town, otherwise I'll be riding the brakes.

Mike,

Did you snag a GP or a Bonneville?

Glad eveything turned out OK with you guys.
