Flashback, 1987

Just read this article on Canadian Driver this morning. LOL, I thought it was both interesting and comical. Boy, things sure have changed in 23 years!!

My first car was a '86 Buick LeSabre Elegance. It had a 3.8 litre engine and every option imaginable. This was back in 01/02 and I was in 12th grade. Me and my buddies called it the Black Beauty. The build and ride quality is was second to none.

I like the the authors writing style. Can you imagine if the car was described like that when it was new.

Same here, that's the reason I found it so comical.
