[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I drove up to see Tom and Tuulikki a few years back in my blue Buick 1994 Regal Custom Coupe 2D in all kinds of winter wonderland blizzard weather snow ice sleet freezing rain high winds crazy drivers Cars were strewn to the left of me to the right of me behind and in front of me I had many wonderful near death experiences From Portland Oregon to Vancouver Canada. 300 miles on I5. My car just puttered right up the middle often on solid ice about 40 mph. A spunkier nicer classier car I never had. Drove it for years. If I ever go back to that other kind of life you know the kind with the lawn and the driveway I'd get another one in flash. A blue one. I would really rather have a Buick. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: <grduprey@mchsi.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:53:19 +0000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] un-believable - now off-topic and long-ish > > > > Personally China can have all the Buicks they want, horrible driving cars. > ?Great if you want a lounge chair ride, and a wallowing suspension. > > > Gene -------------- Original message from Joseph Yao <joseph@yao.com>: > -------------- > > >> Buick may be the best-selling foreign brand in China, but many of them are >> not the real Buick you get in the US - they are merely rebadged Korean >> cars. >> Check out the Excelle and GL8 series: >> >> http://www.buick.com.cn >> >> >> >> On 12/21/08 10:36 PM, "Seth Rosner" wrote: >> >>> Correct, Gene; and Nathan, were you aware that in 2008 GM has sold more >>> cars >>> in the United States than Toyota?
