Welcome! You've got a good car with the potential to be a really awesome car if you choose to take it that way. The Riv is one of the best car buys out there for regular people.

Matt, welcome aboard! I'm in Fargo.

To post pics here, simplest way is to open a free Photobucket.com account. You load your pic files to their site, then link to them in your posts here.

98riviera98 - my Riviera is a 97. Bought it from my sister for $800 with 148,000 miles. Its pretty good condition, but after reading information on this site, I believe I can get it in better condition, plus all the routine things that were never done to it.

Invest in a floorjack and jackstands...and paper towels and shop rags! wink

These cars are fun to mod/work on, and pretty soon the mod bug will bite you too!

"Flikr" might be good, too. I really try to minimize how many sites I have 'membership' in, but I've had a Yahoo ID since I first got on the Net a decade ago... Thanks to corporate mergers and acquisitions, your Yahoo ID gets you a Flickr account too! happy

Once you have your pictures uploaded and arranged, just click on any given photo so that it opens up full size, then right-click it and select "Copy Image Location"... Then you can paste the link into any post you make here, such as:
