Yep, a V6 Buick was the baddest thing America made at the time, and that car is still in the 10's for a very small cash outlay. Love 'em! Wish I had one for a DD.

I would hate one for a DD. The Grand National is pretty sweet as a 1/4 mile sleeper-type car, but actually driving it around on the daily... heck no. At the end of the day it's just a piece of crap 1980s Buick that drives like a 1980s Buick. The only difference is this one goes really fast in a straight line. :D

A DD is supposed to be a POS, then you go home and get in your Z06/GTR/Gallardo/whatever and have fun. I just really like the look and history of the GN.

Meh, a DD is not supposed to be a POS. Beater is supposed to be a POS.

A DD is meant to be a practical car. It's supposed to be comfortable and/or economical, and inexpensive. It can be fun or pretty, but that's not the primary function.

A beater is just any car that has seen much better days, a car you're driving into the ground. My Mazda6 is both a beater and a DD.

I forgot to mention that. DD's can be practical in terms of work. An AWD vehicle or a towing vehicle certainly qualifies.

DD doesn't have to be inexpensive. Your DD could be an Infiniti M56 and your fun car could be a 370Z TT.

A DD os what ever you as an individual is comfortable driving everyday. I am not one to have cars that sit around and collect dust so my DD is my Z.

A GT-R doesn't scare me so neither will a v6 bone-maro.

FOR SURE. Grand Nationals are hard core. I am amazed by those things. Saw a NICE all black one the other day...... My barber has one...
