@Sojournersoul Yes!! I remember thinking it looked s lot like the Malibu. As Ive said before. My father was a body work/ mechanic. So we went thru a lot of cars for some reason. Not sure of the year but we had a Later model Nova. It had the square front and square headlights.. Novas were pretty big in popularity.. Thank you for sharing!!
@CurrentName The driving is fine, it accelerates a little slower than it used to I only have about 100,500 on it as I don’t drive much besides to and from work
@JRVanguard I'm very impressed. Hope you keep it for many years to come and if you ever want to sell it, come talk to me first!! Thank you so for sharing!!!
Ah, the Buick Electra was an awesome car back then. I didn't realize they put diesels in them though. Thought it was only in the Oldsmobiles. My first was the cousin to yours, a 77 Caprice Classic.
@CurrentName Well, the 3.1's are known for head gasket failure, and the aluminum heads don't hold up to overheating. I didn't catch it in time when the head gaskets blew
@ninalanyon That's funny 😊 I always liked them but I'm a very tall guy. I don't think I would fit in one. There's one mini that drives around here and wherever it goes it is the attention getter. It is not a car you EVER see around here. My experience with them is limited to seeing them on British movies and James Bonds movies .
@CurrentName The classic Mini film has to be The Italian Job with Michael Caine. Of course these were modified for the film with 1800 cc engines and a lot of other things to make stunts practical and safe. [media=https://youtu.be/CYY-C3xOnkY]
@CurrentName Not at all shook up. Got myself out of the vehicle, though could not walk away as my foot was very sore. Steam was coming out from under the bonnet, I thought it was smoke. Almost immediately a lady appeared and helped me hobble away. She was a nurse from nearby Bindoon. A male appeared and he was an ambulance driver on the way to work. I had a 60km ride in an ambulance to hospital in Perth. I think I spent just one night in hospital then sent home on crutches.
@Likestoenjoylife 16! With a big truck 😊 That's awesome!! Three on the tree?!! That's pretty good. I wonder how many people even know what that means !!!
@Quimliqer That's three forward on the steering column yes?? My dad taught me to drive on one of those. It was some kind of big box delivery truck. I remember sitting at the very edge of the seat gripping the steering wheel scared to death!!!
