Anyone Agree?

Anyone else agree about the wonderful feeling when you bring a new g body home... like right after you pay for it and drive it home, tinkering with the gas to see what it can do at a traffic light... then the next day take it to the car wash and detail it, when i personally often discover that just a clean up can really bring a car out..then sport it around town... paint gleaming, tires shining, windows down... its like that with all of my cars, but especially my first one, the 86 regal... wasnt but a drive around the block to my house, but hopping in the drivers seat and driving that thing for the first time was truely something... or is it just me?

I'd say something is wrong with you if you don't feel that way!

I got that feeling when the only time my regal moved under it's own power in 4 years (even though it was only 20 feet-2 years ago). :wink:

I'd be happy to find one worth buying that would actually drive home!

Yea I've never bought a Gbody and drove it home. 😀 It was always a trailer thing. Well my first one would drive a few feet before cutting off when I first got it. If that counts.

I love g~bodies.. I've owned more Cutlass/Regals than all my other cars combined.. Still looking for my 1st GP & hopefully a 2+2..

lol 3 of my 5 had to be trailered, but it was almost just the same as i kept looking in the rear view and devising a plan... my grand national was the best, nothing but bare shell but best believe i stared at it the whole way home, in disbelief that a 15 y/o (this was last year) had just gotten a true piece of muscle car history.... i still detailed it when i got home and boy did that car have some wet paint on it..

No freshly bought g-body is complete without a vanillaroma tree! Everyone of them I've owned smells the same! I've limped them home, trailered them, some with brakes that barely worked, smoked like hell, low oil pressure, knocking V6's, broken shift linkage, overheating, you name it lol! It's too bad the days of finding good bodies w/shot engines for $100 are gone.

[307 Regal]

My Regal was my first car. Driving it home was a great experience. It was a little nostalgic since I spent the earliest years of my life in g-bodies. It was also nice following a C5 corvette during that drive. I remember it being one of the few times I literally thought: "God bless America."
The interior couldn't be more filthy. A bottle of 409 later and some fabric cleaner though and it was like a new car! (well, the interior anyway..)
Nice cars make fond memories.
