About this Current Vehicle:
This is currently my wife's Daily Driver. It's got a lot of miles on it, just like my GS! The good news is that it's been dead-on reliable over the last 2 years we've owned it, and we've put around 35K miles on it as well!
It's plush, comfortable, rides like silk and still has the get up and go thanks to the L67, a Supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Just put on the new Traction T/A's and detailed her, lemme know what you think.

And, it's done.
Detailing is done. Poor car needs a lot of TLC to get it back up to my standards. Lots of dents, scratches, and not to mention the damage done to the Driver's door handle by that punk thief. Now that the wheels have been cleaned, It emphasizes how much I have to paint the brake calipers like I did on the GTP.
Funny how cars seem to be a never ending pit requiring more and more attention, especially after you get around to fixing something on them.

OMG, I actually work on this car as well?
Yeah, I do. Today I started detailing it, pretty much the same routine as the GTP received. The wheels needed a lot of attention, there was some caked on brake dust that's been there for quite a while. My fault. Unfortunately the chrome sustained some damage and there's nothing I can do about it. For the most part they're blingin' now. The new tires got scrubbed and the marking paint is gone. They just need to be dressed, but that will wait until after I'm done polishing and waxing the GS.
I also managed to claybar the paint and wash the car again before the neighbors invited the Mrs and I over for Thanksgiving dinner. While it screwed up my plans for the day, the meal was delicious and really got to know my neighbors better. Bonus.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to go to a volunteer opportunity, but since today was screwed up, I may have to skip the volunteer work and catch up on my work for the GS. There's always other opportunities to help with for the same organization as Christmas gets closer.
I also agreed to help my neighbor wash his Corvette, since it's dirty as all heck. Turns out he's got a full box with a Porter Cable 7424, tons of Wolfgang products, pads, bonnets, and the full Zaino kit. He's never used any of it! Guy's got a lot of money, buys a lot of stuff, but never really uses any of it. Kinda funny to me. Hopefully I can break him of this habit.

Those wheel's are awsome jon
The GS came out nice 
gotnos2, you must be smoking crack.
props I like those wheels and the car seats!!!!!11
All "old people" stereotypes aside, these are nice cars. My grandparents have a 97 Regal LS, and it still rides like a dream.
It's about time you got that bitch up!
I gotta get some pics up so you can all admire the pimpness of the Buick.
Oooo
