As far as my riv I have a 1997, I guess its loaded. I don't know much about these cars, I purchased it from my dad, who bought the car new, and took excellent care of it. I just had a baby girl, so I needed something child safe, little did I know how amazing this car was. | |

| Wow I'm starting to think I'm the only one who hasn't gone through double digit numbers of cars by 21... That's crazy! But if that's how many it takes before you get to the right one (#17) so be it and WELCOME! Glad to have you here, Brandon!
Congratulations on the baby girl by the way! | |

| Whatsup everyone, my name is darren and I bought a 97 riviera back in june 2008. I have been trying to get one since march of 07 and i finally got one. Its a supercharged one and it has 20 inch chrome rims and hid's in it. I also converted it and added a Hydrogen kit to it for about 200 dollars and it made an instant and huge increase in hp and a nice increase to gas mileage. Ill post pics as soon as I figure out how. I also have an oldsmobile aurora, I gave that to my wife after i got my buick though | |

| Hi Brandon,  Welcome to the site and congrats on getting a safe riv for your baby, just remember no matter how safe a vehicle is, it all relies on the driver, and how safe you drive. This is a pretty quick car that gets to speed quicker then you'd think with most people thinking its just a grandma beater, which it is definitely not. Anyways remember if you get stuck on anything or just need some help or info, hit us up and we will back you up | |
