Factory special ordered 1981 Buick Skylark V6 automatic with all the 
bells and whistles to be residential real estate car...............
107,789 miles, no oil burning, 17+mpg showing properties, 24+ mpg 
hwy, youth soccer car as well, was ordered by the Missus
to sell it or replace all the worn out carpet.............. traded 
with my Buick dealership in  April 1990 for a low mileage trade-in 
1986 Buick Century 3.8 with all the bells and whistles and less than 
38,000 miles.......... put the $$$ balance on my Master card and 
continued my to this day loyalty to the Buick Marque and GM.
