Rawja Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I had an '88 Cimarron and I have to admit I really loved it. I also loved buying it used for a few hundred more than a Cavalier would have cost. It was a great little car, and according to the carfax that I ran as a lark when I was shopping for my Reatta it is still on the road and is up to 168,000 miles today. I miss that car.

Guest Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Well....In our garage is a 1990 White Reatta (my baby-which my husband wants to get rid of-I think not!) a 2000 Black 300M (my work mobile), a 1995 Dodge V-10 Ram, and a 1995 Jeep. I only drive the Reatta in the summer, it has NEVER seen snow and I can count on one hand how many times it's seen rain. Used to own a Riviera and a Park Ave. Miss them both, but love the 300M!

Guest Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Mish: Get rid of the husband, not the Reatta. It'll be cheaper in the long run.<P>Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Next to my '90 Reatta I also drive a '83 S-10 with a 355 v-8 crammed under the hood. Our family vehicle is a '96 4-door Blazer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 The other side houses the downstairs neighbor's GMC or Chevy SUV, a Blazer or somesuch (we have to share).<P>The driveway provides a perch for a '91 Bonneville SSE daily driver/beater (122,000 miles).

ol' yeller Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I was going to say I have too many cars but that isn't possible is it? What I am short of is space. I only have a 2 car garage so my daily drivers are a 1998 Regal GS and a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer. Fortunately a buddy in the Buick club rents me space in his barn to store Reeta, my 1990 Burgundy coupe, Ol' Yeller, my restored 1965 Skylark 2 door, and my 1969 Riviera is spread over 2 garages and one paint shop as it is in the process of a frame off restoration. My next project will be a garage with a house attached as soon as I get done paying for my eldest daughter's wedding and my youngest daughter's college. I hope there is some money left!

Guest Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 My garage is shared with my 99 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic. Outside of the garage, there is a 96 Ford Ranger, 96 VW Jetta GLS, and a 94 Toyota PU. I'm hoping to get fleet insurance :-). Actually, I'm trying to get rid of the Toyota, Ford, and VW. Best regards to all and happy holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 We downsized -now retired - and only have a one car garage where my 90 Reatta coupe is in for the winter. Outside is 96 Regal for winter driving and pulling the boat. Harry, I could adopt one of your 89 Riverias. Let me know when to pick it up. Wish you all a great Christmas and super 2002. I'm saving a few $$ for Flint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 In my garage is the '89 Reatta with 86,000 miles. Only owned since Sept. 01. Live in town of 7,000. One of four Reatta's in town.

Guest Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Hi there, My name is Randy, I am somewhat new with the club. Happy to be on board.<BR>In my garage i have a 1989 Buick Reatta with all options, 1988 Reatta winter beater. On the other side is two 1986 Fiero GT's. Which i have installed 4.5 F.I. Cadillac V8's in them. Which is fun. I enjoy projects like that. I want to install 3800 SC in my 1989 reatta. I would like to talk to someone that has done it. Thank you everyone. Happy Holidays to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Almost forgot... in addition to the stable of cars and motorcycles sits a brand new Yardmaster 33" 10 hp 6 speed electric start (WITH HEADLIGHT) SNOW BLOWER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Burkie got me thinking....(I hope to never need to operate a snow blower) the number of gasoline powered devices in the garage besides the cars... like the chain saw, leaf blower, riding mower, push mower, air compressor, generator, chopper/shreader. Maybe Santa will bring me a gas powered router.<P>Happy Holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Barney... you are so right, snow sucks. I'm not a bah-himbug finda guy but I hate almost everything about snow. My driveway is 110' long and I have parking for 6 cars by the house so snow removal is a real chore for me. Besides... I can't use the Reatta during the bad weather. As far as "other" gas powered items... you might want to install your OWN PRIVATE gas pump. Now that would be the topping on the cake!!! <P>HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD... LIFE. <BR> <A HREF="http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/burkieboy/" TARGET=_blank>http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/burkieboy/</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 What a great bunch of cars! I guess I'm next. My 89 Red Reatta Coupe I've had for six years and actually like better than my 90 Reatta Convertable. Next to those, in the winter I drive my 83 GMC Stepside. My wifes Toyota Avalon sits next to that (sorry everyone, but it is mostly American made), and finally my kids 97 Trans Am sits in the driveway. I like Buicks the best and some day want to add a late 90's Rivi. Obviously not enough people liked them but I sure do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragster Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I sure am impressed with the list of cars here. Mine is not so exotic. I have an '89 Reatta Coupe - owned since birth. A '90 convertible (curious as to why Edwin doesn't like his convert so much), owned just a short while. The other side has varied greatly as the wife changes every three years - at present it is a Mercedes C280. Prior to that has been a lincoln, a cadi, an acura, a cougar - bill blass model, and a celica - not necessarily in that order. <BR>Have a great holiday all.

Guest jadesdrift90 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 OK...in addition to my first post (which seems weeks ago now) I was afraid to list the "real ones in the garage"...lol!<P>None of the working cars live in the garage, we actually have:<P>1. 1970 VW Convertible - Bought it from my nephew for son to rebuild in 1999 (He was 15 at the time). He is now 18 and sands it once in awhile. He has high hopes though...lol! <BR> <P>2. My 1974 HD Super Glide - Bought it in 1998 to restore...i finally turned it over to a HD mechanic to hook up the last part, the harness...might be able to ride it this spring (crossing fingers)! <P>Jade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 My Reatta's stablemates aren't as cool as most of yours, but for varieties sake her goes: Along with my '90 Red Coupe sits an '86<BR>GMC S-15 Ext. Cab with a 4 bolt small block and a "worked" 700R4(stall speed, flat clutches, shift kit). It's a fun ride, only in the summer. Also an "86 Caprice for winter use and an '89 Le Mans for winter use.<BR>My '94 Caprice with Impala SS suspension, and the LT-1 is my travel car and as much as I love the Reatta, this car travels more smoothly and comfortably. Not that the Reatta is Uncomfortable, just not as comfortable. I enjoyed reading of everyone elses rides-Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi, the other side of my garage, across from my Red '90 Reatta Coupe holds my '86 GMC S-15 Ext. Cab with Carbureted small block(350)Chevy and beefed 700-R4 Transmission(2000 rpm stall speed, flat clutch discs, shift kit). It's a lot of fun in the summer and no fun in the winter(no traction). Out side of the garage are 3 cars: my '94 Caprice LS with Touring Suspension and LT-1 engine, a fantastic ride for traveling long distance: my '86 Caprice, a winter "beater"; and my '89 Pontiac LeMans another winter <BR>"beater". I enjoyed reading about your "other" rides and thought I'd add mine to the list. I enjoy the discussion forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
