There is a large number of retired vets(aviators) here locally who own and fly these. Tells you something about the plane. A few years ago at the Auburn Airshow, a female pilot without her arms, did an aerial display in one that was modified. Very impressive what the human spirit is capable of. Seeing things like that really makes my day.

I think this is her... if not, the word "NO" is not in her vocabulary. I now have no reason to complain about "anything".

I guess I live under a rock, today was the first time I saw one of these on the road.

Nothing about it says Buick except the name plate, which I guess is a good thing.

General Motors Company in the beginning of 2016 brings to light a new compact Buick convertible Cascade, which has a landing formula 2 +2 and is driven by a innovative turboengine rated at 200 HP. And in 2017 we will see the update........................

Buick Cascada hood hides 4-cylinder petrol 1.6L volume engine, which thanks to turbocharging technology develops a nice 200HP with a 280 Newton meters torque.
Newton meters ?

Takes me back to physics class.

This is the Buick Concept car they showed us last year. They should have built it but everyone knew they wouldn't. They gave us the Cascada instead. How disappointing...

Ok, this is getting redonculous. Where have I seen this before??? Oh yeah, the 911. One little brake pad inspection later, turned into a full brake job, then "while I'm there", it only make sense to remove and clean the rear diff fluid too right ?!?!?!?

Good lord I need help.

These are "transportation" related.





Nasty before shot

Clean parting shot






Just incase someone gripes
