    At least I know he's taking care of it. He's owned it two years now (time FLIES) and he's only put 3K miles on it in all that time. It sits in his air-conditioned garage with his '85 Riviera Convertible, '77 Pontiac Can Am, and Porsche 944.

    He still say he'll be selling it back to me after the holidays. I was hoping for sooner, but since his Suburban was totaled, he's been driving the Roady daily. Happily he lives about a mile from his shop, so it's still not getting much wear.

    Come on 2014!!!

    Mike, it is too bad his shop is only a mile from home! Better to put 50 miles a day of highway driving than 2 of city. Less wear and tear on everything. Then again, high mileage has never scared me. Right now, I'm driving an 03 Cavalier with over 250,000 miles on the clock. Your Buick is lower mileage that all but 2 of my cars have had. They were both new when I got them.

    Yes, I'll bet the engine is ruined. Have Rich send it to me and I'll fix it when he's done driving it.
