We had to use the ram as the pulley on my buddy's GTP was REALLY on there.
It's going to be awhile until I modd this one. Tinted windows, woodgrain dash kit & maybe 18's or 17's. That's about it for now. I'm babying this one!

Well, I finally figured out what was wrong with my Twilight Sentinel. The light sensor in the dash was faulty. $47 and a new sensor later I now have automatic headlamps.

Wow, look at that expanse on the passenger side dash. You could put a friggin' TV in there. Mac Mini ICE, here we come!  I remember one of the Car & Driver editors once marveling over the contour of the fender lines on the Riv.

I've always wondered what idiot decided on the location for the gas door 
-- 1999 SVT #220 --
In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Those rivieras are VERy nice cars. Some window tint... and it looks totally smooth. It had a very unique body shape for its time. The aurora, IMHO, looked better only becuase it was a four door. I'd totally rock that. I remeber getting hagled for getting rid of my CSVT for a Buick.... I liked that car alot... but after a few months, just got tired of it. It wasn't as fun. But those Riv's, they are a blast to drive! You should put a pulley on the S/C too.

At the TIME I knew what I wanted... I just changed my mind quickly  And yes, my epic was more sad and stupid than long thought and enjoyed. If I would of picked up a Riv, I'd probably be all over it still. It's just too much car/comfort for a 21 year old.. same with a regal.  I'm sposed to like Type r badges, fart cans, and colorful windsheild wipers, right? Those wouldn't look good on a buick.
