Riding in Style

I went and bought myself a car. A 1989 Buick Le Sabre. It's burgundy, or maroon if you prefer, and it was owned by a little old lady and only driven 90,000 miles over the last 17 years. Her husband was a Lockheed engineer so it's in great condition. It looks pretty much like the one to the right except for the colour, and mine isn't quite as shiny. I've always thought that when you get a new car you need a nice one or one that's old enough or crappy enough that you can be proud of it. Guess which one mine is. there's no rust because, well, they don't have reason to salt or sand the roads down here. There's a dent in the front corner that I have no intention of fixing and the paint is a bit faded. It has its original tape deck and radio, but the sound system is surprisingly good. The leather interior is in great shape too. All I need is some under-lighting and chrome rims and I'll be all set to roll, big city style.

i drive the same car. it is a great vehicle and lasts a long long time. it is the second model i've driven - the first was grey.

... i hope you don't mind, but i've borrowed your photo and used it on my blog; i just didn't have a picture of my own car.

You need spinner rims worth more than the price of your car to pimp it in the A-T-L.

Sweet straight lines.
