Ok, so I’ve been on a Buick kick for the last month or so. Originally being from Michigan I feel the pain of the American autoworker who through no fault of their own is being laid off left and right.
I actually did a few stints in the factories when I was younger to help put myself through college. 10 hour days of monotonous work building interior car doors for the Oldsmobile 88 was no fun but the money blew away anything I would have made working at a fast food joint. The press has actually had a lot of nice things to say about the new Buick LaCrosse. Supposedly it’s nicer than the Lexus in it’s class and about $5000 less expensive. So I’d like to give a shout out to my extended family in Michigan. Buick may have been a car for your grandparents but the new models are pretty impressive and can compete with the finest Japan has to offer.
