Cool man. My first car was an 89 Buick Century, white, with blue interior. Power locks but not power windows. The car was great... but I had the 2.8l v6. The engine still ran great when I had to get rid of it, but when I was 17, I hit a guard rail on a nasty road in bad weather, and kind of threw the body out of whack. The body looked ok, there was not a lot of visible damage, but after several years, the metal piece the door latch closes around wore out, becuase it was not lined up right.... it rusted off, so the door wouldn't stay shut. It wasn't worth it to fix. But that car had over 200k on it, and the motor was still strong.

The seats in that car were sooo rediculously comfortable. I wouldn't mind buying another one some day as a beater. But yeah, the cars are FWD and very light. I did a 180 in the snow once, and luckily didn't hit anything.
