New guy with his grandma's car
 

Uhh... what to say... I'm Devin. Some of you may know me. I mostly joined so I can have more forums to read, but this seems like a good place as well. I'm a psychology student and I spend my time between Plymouth, St. Michael, Wayzata, and Bloomington for the most part.

What I drive? Nothing too special. It's a 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited. Bought it through a client of a family member's business. The owner inherited it and had no need for it, so I got it for 4.5k with 60k miles. Originally I did intake and a catless downpipe, which then lead to L67 heads and the gen 3 m90. Right now it's pretty mild. Has the original block for a little more compression, "stock" 3.8 pulley, fender well intake, HD rear suspension, sc port, headers, blacked out grill, and a raspy muffler, and I think that's most of it.

Not sure what to say here

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Does it wheelie?

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Ever take it off any sweet jumps?

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Damn that's a lot of work. Also have you had a gangbang in there yet?

Re: New guy with his grandma's car

:rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh::rollinglaugh:

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

No, I'm not cool enough for that. Requires 10 more rice points.
Not unless you count a ton of suspension travel. No jumps.
No gangbangs, but I am in a long-term relationship and itt has a bench seat. :usa1:
Sorry, I missed this. I didn't know about anything at rainbow, but I don't really go to a ton of meets for the most part. Feel free to message me.
My car doesn't wheel hop, just spins or goes.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car

I've got an idea for custom plates. "PRIUSBTR"

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

How is thing almost a 17 second car good lord. You must have dead hoes in the trunk. Check that shit bro

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

I can see the lower intake leaking from here!

No, honestly, this must be a school experiment.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Welcome!

Can it do burnouts?

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

^This. I like understanding how people think and how people act. Security is nice, but not my biggest concern.
Could be. haha As far as the car, I didn't build the car for anyone else. I's a good balance between comfort, torque, 30+mpg on the highway, and reliability. It ran 16.4 bone stock and 15.8@88 n/a with a downpipe and intake. Low mid 90 traps last year, and it's a bit quicker this year.
It can make smoke if need be, but the kumhos hook pretty well.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

I once drove an ex's plain ol' LaSlobber and had to start manually shifting it because I got so bored.

The last time I drove anything with a supercharged 3800 I didn't "get on it enough" for the supercharger to kick in. I lost any interest after that.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Cool story.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Did you say the tires hook well? I'm surprised you can even turn them over.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Does it still sound like a sewing machine with the headers?

Also,

Welcome!

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

My wife's stock 2003 Denali XL that weighs 5,850lbs runs a 15.0 stock...

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

You guys are totally right. Coming off as cool is absolutely my goal.
Yep. They are horrible sounding motors.
I don't get it, but I like it.
The motors are great, but not stock in a Denali xl. 118hp per ton means that it would never happen. Would run better in a Buick Roadmaster. haha

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Damn skippy.

Re: New guy with his grandma's car
 

Man you guys are hard on new people

Doesn't bug me, but I have pretty thick skin.
