So Comfy

So I did an oil change on a Buick Lucerne today (oh yeah, have I mentioned I work at a Buick/GMC dealer now?) and damn is one comfortable boat.

Is it wrong I love how these look?

The one I worked on was all-beige with a bench seat and an oddly high-quality feeling column shifter. You slid into those soft leather seats and just sink into them like a La-Z-Boy recliner. The damn thing is an isolation chamber too once you roll up the windows. I swear I could hear my blood pumping. I didn’t get to drive but around the building, but I can only imagine it rides like a cloud.

It also had a Harman/Kardon stereo which was surprising because I didn’t know Buick ever offered anything but Bose.

I’m not gonna lie, I’d drive one.

In other news apparently I’m 80 rather than 18.

1. Old people cars are best people cars.

Old people have the right idea. I’m not gonna lie, I looked to see how much Lucernes are going for when I got home.

Thank ya!

Congrats on the new gig.

Loving old people cars is a natural thing for some of us. Others will pick on you, but don’t let them dissuade you from driving what you enjoy driving. There is a huge range of ways you can enjoy cars.

I’ve done the sporty German thing already, along with a bare bones truck, now a cushy, feature laden sedan sounds incredibly nice for whatever reason.

I don’t think I would have a year or so ago, but my view on cars is changing lately I’ve noticed. I 100% would now.

Thank ya!

Buick has changed their demographic. But nobody else payed any attention!

Long ago when I bought my Riviera I was looking at Park Avenues. My wife insisted they were Old People cars. I said “Old people are smart!”

Congrats on the job!

I agree with you on the old people car thing. Our rental Buick LaCrosse from earlier this year was a sofa on wheels and I loved it.

Considering how much I want a Regal GS, you might be right.
