1987 Buick Riviera: Regular Car Reviews 

Nah dude. You signed up for the DEI program. I'll bet you're soul was cheap. 😄 Never figured they'd get to you too.

​@@Been.Here.Since.2007PATHETIC it is

@@Cool07R6SRider He never inserted anything woke over the past 10+ years of uploads until now. Says all I need to know.

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 I don't care, no one will pretend a guy wearing a dress with bigger hooknose than nose of Paul Stanley from KISS is a woman.

@@Cool07R6SRider Agreed.

By far my favorite car owner the only person that comes close is the 1970s speedy delivery driver.

The fit is real

Hell yea

Veronica is PERFECT for complimenting your commentary in this episode!

Veronica rocks!!!!

She's definitely the life of the party

@@rallycobra5738 Yes, more Veronica

@@Miadaskateyou make the world a worse place. Let people live. Let people exist. She is shooting a video of her car not asking you on a date wtf does her gender have to do with anything?

​@@Miadaskatebe more fragile challenge. Level: impossible

@@Miadaskate NSS

@@IloveTide1997 cry more buddy. If you are offended by stuff like this then seriously consider rethinking your life choices.

@@IloveTide1997 My dad also has to constantly comment on other people's lives. I am speaking from personal experience here when I tell you that nearly everyone in your life tolerates you because they've known you for so long and would feel guilty outright abandoning you, but every time you make a snide little remark like this they chuckle politely, or ignore it and try to change the topic. Every time a relative or old buddy says they're too busy to get together but "next time for sure", know that they actually consider time spent with you to be a chore.

@@martyjehovahgodDAMN

​@@martyjehovahThis is one of the best single comment takedowns I have ever seen. Props.

@@IloveTide1997 would much prefer her friendship to yours.

HAHAHA YEAH

​@@RegularCarsRCR - now coming to you live from Brooklyn

It was like Lorraine Bracco from Goodfellas showed up.

She's even wearing the same outfit 🤣

My cousin Vinnie

Whats the most fked up thing is that motor is a cut down version of the rover V8...famouse for being in one of the most unreliable cars ever made the SD1 and lots of other unreliable cars lol

And it got to be one too

GM sold the tooling for the v8 to land rover. ​@@milamber319

@@chefmen101 Im decidedly not a holden fan... But ill be fair the average v6 commodore from the late 90s through 2000s has a tendancy to outlast most camrys. Maybe because the owners didnt see a need to give them up but got bored with camrys I don't know.

Yeah- I dunno. People shit all over the Ford Cologne V6, but I just put my '97 Ranger to rest with over 500000km on it- and it was the transmission that went. Thing didn't owe me shit. Sometimes shit just works I guess.

I honestly think this is my favorite RCR video to date.

@@gayasparagus Same here. It's superb.

Oh yeah? I heard Tommy FencedemachA is the reason the shop has to drain the air compressors more often.

I hear Tommy Fenstemacher was banned from renting the helium cannisters from party city.

@@BigMason Oh yeah? I heard Tommy Fenstemacher can't be around the color pink, because the sight of it will make him bust!

they even got R as start of the names

This is so funny omg

Someone draw furry art of this

@@RegularCars el dotto

​@@RegularCars If someone does I hope it's in the spirit of the previously proposed "ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY ASS" bit

That's so disarmingly honest of you Jeffery. Then again, it can't be put back in the box now, can it...

I love that the RcR community knows shit like this thank you haha

Mrs. Morning Sickness is wild

@veronica.wheels You're welcome and I especially love the car!!!!

102.7?

I did a double you"ll LOL

Yeah she's awesome we need more of her

100%

Facts, shes good

She gives off "I grew up with 3 brothers" vibes. Love her.

Ive been watching RCR for years, and this is by far my favorite episode. You are RU-vidgold, and I love you.

This video absolutely made my morning, it gave me such a smile to watch the 20 minutes of riffing lol.

You are amazing in this video.

First time watching this channel and I assumed you were part of the show. Hope to see more of you on your channel.

I’ll bet the Chinese food is terrible!

@@TheGrimStoic What the fuck does that even mean

*he's

@@refugeinc.159 Bro look at her what

ronnie wheels… redit… self proclaimed trans…

*He's, it's a guy and that guy has bigger nose than Paul Stanley from KISS😂

She needs to be in other episodes.

​@@salkjshaweoiuenvohvrShe needs to be in all the episodes

T girl swagger

@@joeystromboli2036 skull emoji

​@@salkjshaweoiuenvohvr*He not she

Looks like something Trudy or Gina would wear!

My Cousin Vinny, are you blind??!

One of them crossdressing assassins, yeah?

I wonder if police radar sets off the RWR.

Anisa yelled at you you like the system does on an airplane. Warning, warning, warning.

That's interesting, I was thinking GM might have licensed the technology from Diebold. They made bank ATMs back in the day(still do I think), the Buick touch screen was giving me serious old ATM vibes.

​@@TheMsdos25 as a military aviation nerd, underrated comment. 😊

😂 this has me dying

THATS JUST LIKE MY LATE HUSBAND LIEUTENANT COLONEL JACKIE KUNTZER HAD IN HIS F-106 IN OH... THAT MUST HAVE BEEN 1971.

They still can't hear it though. Lol That ding would be the reason I couldn't drive it, that and 16 mpg. That rest is cool.

They look like the co-stars of a 1980s romantic comedy about an office worker who moves to New York and falls in love with her boss, or something.

Working Girl

I want to know everything about her. She at least needs her own channel reviewing 80s tech

Actually, Mr. Regular time travelled

@@MrDangle44that’s the plan lmao, filming by myself is surprisingly difficult bc no one else to bounce off of

He was following the Japanese/Korean car manufacturer business model (like Fuji Heavy Industries), still probably coke involved

100% she brought new life to RCR

More Veronica please.

​@@rallycobra5738No, that dude in drag is the beginning of an end of this channel. Still, way too many normal people that will not put up with this nonsense.

It's be best part of any car chase!

Counting hubcaps in Bullitt is the best, I think more hubcaps come off than some of the cars even have

I thought she was more like the Nanny Fran Fine

@@justmechanicthings this particular outfit yeah but persona nah frans definitely wasn't a cool car lady

@@justmechanicthings She reminds me of Magenta Devine, the DEFII presenter. Which dates me.

I thank that's a dude

Thats a man

I adore motorweek so so much, gonna release an homage/ parody at some point hopefully in the near future!

​​@@veronica.wheelsNo need to, you're a parody of yourseIf already.

It’s a true miracle!

When did she say that????

“The sales guy said It’s a basically a Cadillac but without being shouty.” -Divorced Dad (probably)

@@cosaqueexiste9647 Around the 4:06 mark when she's at the luggage rack.

@@aaronswink8554 she doesn't mention a friend's dad or anything? It's just a joke

@cosaqueexiste9647 My comment was to mean that she nailed the target demo head on! It's wild that out of the blue she said something so specific and detailed and I know someone who drove this almost exact same car get nailed in the late 80s on the exact same thing.

Veronica just exudes the vibe too 😅

The family rented one on our trip to New Orleans back in 1986. It was insanely cool. The car was a darker classic 80's GM maroon color and vinyl top. I recall being blown away by the felt-like surface on practically everything. I remember thinking as a 14 year old, that the car needed alloy wheels like our family 86' Olds 88.

Red dot junk

Thanks for clarifying. Not sure when the auto world decided to RetCon the 231 V6 before 1988. They were garbage engines that beat themselves up and barely made it to 100-120k miles AT BEST.

except the aunt bit

​@@TheGrimStoicyou don't know that she might be an aunt

@@TheGrimStoic mate people like you will call everything they disagree with woke you don't even know what that word means,it means to be aware of injustice and if she has a nephew or niece than yeah she's an aunt stop being judgemental.

@@rallycobra5738 Thanks for ticking "Both"

​@rallycobra5738 sure.... "she"... 🤣

That’s a dude

​@@_chipchip*He, it's a dude

That's a dude isn't it?

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 Trans girl. Be respectful.

@@NikaHollywood Opps. Sorry

@@jonathanchapman4258 replying to the 'phobes, not you. Veronica's definitely rockin' it!

Yup, all guys.

These are the regular cars I come here for!

Plus it's actually logically laid out!

Keep Buick Safe!

I can it’s true

She can it's true

Come on Mister Regular please! Livestream a cross country trip in this beast.

@@majist0 That's an Awesome idea!

They should've played "push it to the limit" lol

*He not she, it's a dude with bigger nose than Paul Stanley's from KISS.

*He

*He not she

*him

@@refugeinc.159 so fragile

*Him, it's a guy with bigger nose than nose of Paul Stanley from KISS. No one will play your pretend games

​@@Cool07R6SRider She's having fun, living her best life, not hurting anyone, great chemistry all around. You're in like every comment chain, clearly obsessed with it, going out of your way on comments that don't even bring up her gender to dredge your views and make the same simultaneously bland and illogical 'joke' evey time. Take a step back and ask yourself if you're really contributing anything postitive to the world with this fixation of yours.

It's a dude just like you, you all rule in your minds😂

I thought more of a Howard Stern look.

@@refugeinc.159 Funny, you remind me of a baby carrot.

How dare you comparing a dude in dress to Tina Turner? It's so misogynistic and sexist

Dougs takes are very predictable and lame imho

I distinctly recall him straight-up _swooning_ over 'em in his review of the Buick Reatta. Same car, basically--just a different body. Sometimes, even Doug manages to surprise.

Of course it matches, two bros talk about cars.

I've had 2 90s rivieras at 29 and I'm from Montana with an active lifestyle. I purchased both voluntarily. They just don't die. Hammer down washboard dirt roads better than a pickup, high speed cruiser from getting from town to town (mine had the supercharger) surprisingly good at camping off the beaten path in the summer and going backcountry skiing in the winter. Got good gas milage and were incredibly comfortable. I even ran over an elk carcass in a blizzard once and it didn't loose control or have any serious damage. Both cars I bought for less than a grand and they just lasted. Everybody's complaining about "oh no, no more cheap cars" but those people don't want to shop Buick because "old people" or whatever and it's silly

@@Iamthestig42069 quite a few of the Buicks had solid, reliable engines in them...couple that with how they were generally well cared by their owners and how gently they were driven, they often make very good used cars for both younger and older drivers. The Buick Grand National was/is quite sporty.

@@Iamthestig42069 i did just that and bought a 06 Buick lucerne recently. only had 91k miles on on it and has the 3800 in it. Starting to become one of my favorite cars ive ever owned. EVERYONE is sleeping on used Buicks but right now they are probably the best bang for your buck. And since most were owned by seniors they weren't modded to hell and revved to the moon like your Hondas or Toyotas. Thats pretty much what made me look for a Buick.

Ronnie is such a sweetheart in person. :D

The Roman dresses like that all the time.

When all we have today is bland tesla black and plastic, disposable 80s living room couch slush buckets are suddenly amazing cars

I think her name is actually Veronica..?

@@RUNDEN_ ronnie is often short for veronica

Ahhh I see my bad! I am not so good with English, especially with shortened names like this

I would dig a Ford tempo with like 30,000 miles

A great idea! Give away regular cars!

Steamed labia pink

I’ve never heard a more perfect description of that color

​@@jochenstacker7448A guy has to compensate for not having one and calling pink color a Iabia😂😂😂

No

​@@drags666yes

I gots this Buick over here looking nice.

At what point does it become a "feature"?

Had nothing to do with the gaskets. It became a problem when GM started using long-life Dec-cool engine coolant around 1995. The Chevy V-6's had the same issue as the Buick 3800. Flush out the Dex-cool often, or go green coolant.

@@bmerlin376 Well, it was also the EGR setup in the Series II. They ran a piping hot metal EGR pipe through the plastic intake manifold. This melted the plastic during normal engine operations and caused the manifold and its gaskets to fail. They went back to a metal intake manifold for the Series III to solve that problem. And yes, just about every GM V6 engine had this problem. IIRC it was by far the worst on the 3100 due to the 3 piece intake and the tendency of the leaks to be internal into the engine oil, but the 3100, 3400, 3800, and 4300 all had the problem.

The gaskets leaking had nothing to do with the type of coolant used,the paper gaskets,later on the plastic gaskets just deteriorate from heat and manifold moving and thermal expansion/contractions,aftermarket metal gaskets with rubber seal did mitigate the issue somewhat but not entirely.

Yeah, I had that problem with the 3.4 after 60,000 miles. I was broke in college but found a way to fix it. I think it was 800 bucks.

This comment is wild and I'm here for it.

That's a dude 😂

​@@Been.Here.Since.2007Even better I need her in my life yesterday

​@@Been.Here.Since.2007 lol you must be new here

@@scotchbingeington6761 right? Someone isn't paying attention to rcr...

@@Been.Here.Since.2007 Brah - chill. She's classy, pretty, and hilarious.

Bruh no it ain’t 😂

Are you kidding?😂

Pretty much anytime im not working on a car and im going out I dress like that yea, all of my clothes are 80s vintage :)

Modern car touchscreens aren't even proper UIs, they're all chrome based web pages o.o

And they could be turboed

These details man, they just don’t matter. Kinda like facts.

@@JBM802 what are you on about?

​@@gandhi3625It's an 80s coke joke

@@gandhi3625 They actually were from the factory, Monza option.

The Buick ain’t that bad… my trans am gets like 15 mpg 🫠

@@veronica.wheelsthis a hint at a sequel to this episode?
