I have seen a GS badged rivi. It really made me do a double take because it was a full set of badges. Also the car was pinstriped with a small air foil. It was really well done and looked factory. If I knew my GS's better I would know what they were off of. Prolly a early 90s regal.


A few gems, the Honda Integra:

Those Honda badges aren't always swapped. Acura is an American-only brand, so there are only Honda badges in Japan. If you see an Acura with a red Honda badge, check what side the steering wheel is on. If it's right-drive, it's a Japanese car = Honda. I've seen Honda Integas and Honda NSXs!

Still, lots of kids put the "H" badges on their Acuras because they think it's cool to dress up their car like a real (Japanese) "Type R".

You mean a 95-99 I assume? I think it would look kind of cool to put old style 60's/70's GS badges on. Buick should have sold the supercharged 95-99 Rivs as Riviera GS's in the first place. But I suppose they wouldn't have wanted 2 models with the GS label.

That's funny with the Mustang and ferrari goodies. reminds me of the time the exotics were coming into Boston and there were a few hot Ferraris parked inside the mall. My roomate saw one a good distance away and said in all sincerety, "No way, ...that's the new Mustang!!!" He saw the horse emblem lol

Well it was the year before the new model came out but I had to shun him when we got closer and saw a car that was over 90k dollars more than Ford's everywhere car.

Yeah it was a late model rivi with either early 90's regal GS badges, or maybe some older GS badges. It was so subtle, with just a few stock looking goodies, that it looked almost real.

BTW they had a T-type Riviera to go along with the Regal. There was even a t-type LeSabre.

I graduated the 8th of June. We didn’t do snow days, even if there was a foot and a half of snow we went to school that day, that was in Michigan and it was always cleared when it was time for school.

Where I grew up, a majority of the students lived out of town on farms, so rural roads weren't always passable in time for 8am school. But back in those days (66-78) I don't think the ND schools had very strict requirements on # of days of open school. The end of May was time for work, not school. Me, I hated farm work. gripe

We ended school about 2 weeks into june depending on snow days too.

I went to a catholic school for 2 years and we had like 2 blizzards and 29 noreasters that winter. You don't have to make up the snow days in catholic schools here. Was awesome.
