If hauling fishing rods, foul smelling fishing gear, and occasional dead fish around counts as work then yes.  |

I'm kind of partial to the Buicks. My daughter has a 96 Regal with over 130,000 miles on it that hasn't required anything but basic maintainence and wear and tear stuff. The car has been in a wide spectrum of environments: the Arizona desert, New England, DC and now SC. I think the only state on the east coast that it hasn't been in is Maine. Well built car. Same platform as the Monte Carlos and Grand Prix but more comfortable and cheaper for insurance. We also own a 2002 Regal that is doing quite well.
