Introduction:

I bought this car last June for 900 dollars from a guy who just wanted to get rid of it. I spend close to 20 hours detailing it when I first started driving it back in June. Now it looks amazing for 223,000 miles. I had to put rotors and pads on in July and I put new tires on then too. As for after market mods.. I've only put in a k&n filter and hacked my stock air box open and put in a 180* thermostat. I have a thrasher 3.4" blower pulley on its way, and a shift kit in the works for the next part. I always mused at the thought of a Whipple kit for this car, but I figure its not worth the effort and I might as well save that for when I get a regal GSE or a pontiac GTP.

It has the L67 3.8 and 4 speed electronic transmission. Its also equipped with leather, traction control, 4 wheel disk brakes, climate control, and many other options. I first installed a new Alpine 9807 mp3 head unit along with 2 concept 10" sub-woofers. Since then, I purchased a new headunit with 4 inch LCD monitor which reads and plays DVDs MP4s and all other typical files like MP3 and wma.

I previously owned a 95 Buick Regal GS 2door with a series II 3.8. I've always wanted the latest Generation Regal GSE and someday I will get one. For now, my Riviera is the best I can do.. and for being 17, I think its pretty damn close.
