slow chevy now has a
moderately quick buick.
Traded the Impala in. Lost my ass but it was going to be unsafe to drive soon, strut towers in left/right rear of car were rotten to the point that the car was beginning to sag in the rear. Here's what replaced it. 2003 Park Avenue Ultra, L67 powered goodness. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() __________________ Gone - '00 LS ![]() Current - '03 Park Avenue Ultra Owner - Vivid Reflections Auto Salon |

Wow, after all those posts about how much you loved that car, I'm a little shocked. But, that Buick is nice, and you can crank some serious power out of that L67, it will make a great sleeper.

The Buicks are cool, but yeah a little surprised you didn't fix the Impala.

The only problem with Ultras is they are quite at highway speed. He got 3 tickets in 2 years all 15 over, should have used cruise control or watched for the state trooper.
Nice ride. |
