I guess I fell in love with that 52 buick. If i dont buy the one down the road (LITERALLY), i know Im gonna get me one in the near future. I didnt know that buicks were being thrown into jeeps. Guess I'll be doing this ACK BASSWORDS. Anyways, once i start this I dont plan on taking it to shows, making money or as daily transportation. I just wanna cruise it when Im not cruising my 5.0 and take it to the cruise nights.
