1986 Buick Grand National | Turbo MONSTER

Today, we go on a ride in my Grand National with my buddy Zach from Sumospeed drift. He interviews me in a way and style that I normally interview everyone else. We talk about the history of this car, performance, future plans, and go wide open throttle a couple times.
