yea that riv is a bitch to parallel park at first. once u get used to the sloping back end its easy. u should def do a FWI as ur first mod..for the 95 makes an extremely loud whine due to the smaller stock SC pulley then the series 2. its a head turner.

Yeah, the problem wasn't so much with actually parking it (I'm queen of parallel parking ANYTHING haha), but there were no spots big enough to fit her!

I'm not too sure how I'd feel about modding my Riv at this point, I've had her in this shape since I was 16 and she's never done me wrong.

Nothing wrong with driving a nice-running stock Riviera, especially considering the high miles.
