Hello. Just got a Regal! I drove the car 335 miles to get it home. With the retrofit r134 A/C on and cruise set at 75 I managed 24 mpg with the 3.8...not too bad. People talk about how gutless the 3.8 is, sure it's no LS1. But it's rather torquey and holds the car at 75 all day long.

Right now I am going to drive it stock while I think of some tasteful mods. Don't worry, not going to Donk it!! But I was thinking of doing an air ride system and some 17 or 18 inch wheels for a good stance. Some day I'll work in a 350 swap too. For the body I'll probably keep that as is since the paint and interior is mint.

Looking forward to hanging out here!

Mali...that's a nice Malibu. I'm out in Rapid. The former owners were from Rock Rapids, they traded the car in at Sioux Falls.

One thing I do is take obsessive care of my cars. It will stay in this condition for as long as my name is on the title. :wink:
