*sigh* I got no where else to turn... so here it is... looks like I'm stuck with the Buick...

one more weekend. My car still isn't back. Looks like the damage to my front wheel and front suspension was worse than originally thought. Apparently my front wheel was bent by over 1/2".

I can't take the Buick Century any more... I'm swapping it out tomorrow for something... anything else!

"features" I'm most fond of...

The memory saving dinging that happens when you put the car in gear so you don't drive off with the e-brake on.

The alzheimer feature that you don't turn lights on or off. You simply put it in gear and the lights turn on. The lights turn off when you put the car in park and walk away.

The ABS brakes that don't work. I skid at every stop sign.

The nice floating suspension

and the suggestive steering that is well... suggestive. You suggest to the car where you want to go and if you're lucky you get there.

Buick is awful

I've got a LeSabre. I'm supposed to get my car tomorrow (rear-ended by a dude on Halloween).

I asked the adjuster for the insurance company for an upgrade and they came up with that car. It's a gigantic frigging boat. I haggled an extra $3/day out of the insurance company for the great white whale. I feel bad. I think I'd prefer a Geo. Not nearly as embarassaing and probably more fun to drive.

My wife has one of the new-model Explorers and it is a way better "car" than that car. Tighter steering, less floaty suspension. Amazing how low American standards are.
