I want a car with soft ride so I will not feel the bumps.

You can't beat an '83 LeBaron Town & Country for style and comfort.

My 88 Eldorado had a nice unbumpy ride, but it tended to wallow in
mountain driving. I sent it to the wreckers because it tried to kill me
once too often.

Throttle problem, apparently unfixable due to parts no longer being
available even at local wrecking yards. Yes, I had witnesses.
Fortunately it had good brakes.

There was an Eldorado convertible for sale when I bought my Buick
Centurion, in 1980, but I thought it would make me look too fancy. It
needed repairs to maybe. I sort of wish I'd bought it.

Maybe it would have killed me.

Maybe it was a REAL throttle in 1980... I'll never buy another GM
product or even accept one as a gift. I wish my mom had asked me before
buying it, I would have told her to get a Lexus or something.
