    What an awesome day, part 2. To all the folks coming to the Get Together, people who have been, and people that can't make it this year... I met some really nice Buick people today at Palm Beach Cars and Coffee, and they say they are coming!!! First, I never was good at surprises. So I'm going to let the cat out of the bag. We should have 2 GSXs coming to the Get Together. WOW!!!! And to make it crazier we should have 2 GNXs. More WOW!!! Wait... I'm not finished. This morning at Cars and Coffee this guy shows up with a beautiful 1966 WildcatGS. Wow!!! Yes, he is coming too!!! Wait... there's more... I'm not going to tell you. LMAO!!! Anyway, everything is looking GREAT! If anyone needs any special considerations let me know.

    Saturday, I took the Hemi to the Palm Beach Gardens chili cookoff and had a blast. I texted the Zelingas about Cars and Coffee on Sunday and they said best be there by 7:30. Woke up at 8:00 and never got past 95 heading East on Palm Beach Lakes at 8:45. Maybe next time. lol. John said the place was at capacity by 9am. And there was Vanilla Ice!

    Wow, I hate even saying this, but Saturday might be a bad day for a "Get Together." I have been reading the scientific discussion for the weather forecast for the last 3 days. There was a glimmer of hope with the GFS computer model compared to the European model. They have come into consences and it doesn't look good for Saturday. (I haven't given up yet, but...") The rain out date will be Saturday, Feb. 8th. I hope that is OK with the majority of people that were coming. I'd love to make it later in February, but my son's wedding is the 22nd and we're already going kinda crazy with that.
    Feel free to voice your thoughts. I know some people won't be able to come now, but some will do to prior arrangements for this weekend. I'm bummed! One way or another it will be a GREAT "3rd Buick Get Together!!!"

    ooh, I like the 8th -- have to head to South Africa this Friday so I would miss this Saturday's affair.

    The 8th works for me. Forecast I saw says 60% chance, and thunderstorms. Your garage isn't big enough to get us all out of the rain.

    Well, looks like your call to postpone was the right one. Always a tough call. Rain steady here in Palm Beach. Forecast calling for heavy T-Storms, wind, hail, and a stray tornado through tomorrow afternoon.

    Good morning Fred, and other Buick enthusiasts! You are correct on me making the right call. It rained all last night, and it looks like more storms will be here shortly.
    I've gotten good responses from most of the people about coming next weekend. A couple of people won't be able to attend, but then on the other hand a few people that couldn't make it today will be able to make it next week. Now I've just got to cross my fingers that the weather is great for next Saturday!!!

    The weather for next Saturday is looking awesome! There is supposed to be a cold front coming through Thursday evening into Friday morning. After that it will be sunny skies and no rain! Can't wait to see a bunch of mighty fine Buicks!!!!!!

    Oh yes, yesterday the forecast said it would be cloudy but no rain for the Buick get together. Now the forecast has changed to be even better. They're saying sunny skies, light breeze and a high of 74°. What a perfect day!

    Wow!!! The beautiful Buicks that showed up for yesterday's Buick Get Together was just WOW!!! And the people... were the BEST!!! We were blessed with blue skies, a nice breeze, and low 70's for temps. It was a perfect day!!!
    The first to arrive was Mike Jones in his 1965 Buick GS. This car is BEAUTIFUL!!! After Mike showed up it was all just a blur. About 5 or 6 cars had arrived and this well to do gentleman pulls up in his brand new Bently. What??? Somebody said, "Well it does start with a B." The guy gets out of his car and introduces himself to me. He tells me he is the owner of the 1957 Buick that will be arriving soon. He buys cars for investment and his driver maintains them and sells them for him. A very cool gentleman. He told me he got bored retired and now he does Uber in his Bently. I have his number if you need a ride.
    I know, I know... some of you are saying show us the pictures. They're on my phone so I'll switch back and forth.

    The "biggest" car award goes to Scott and "his father's 1967 Electra." Scott told us cool family stories about the Electra, and it was also the car he used for his high school prom. Very cool!
    The best cooky award goes to Steve and Tami, pictured in the blue Skylark. Tami's cookies tasted great and look so cool. I'm going to hang the Buick one from my rear view mirror in my convertible!
    Mike's beautiful 1965 Buick GS was awarded the "Jay Leno Big Dog Award" last year at the Boca Raton Tour De Elegance. A truly beautiful car!!! IMG_7651.JPG IMG_7683.JPG
