I've seen your name on the Reatta Parts Vendor's list so your post was one of immediate recognition. Glad your on the ROJ and look forward to you weighing in on Q's and concerns of other Reatta owners. Agree with Ronnie - your Reatta is pretty sharp!

For some reason I did not know that Ronnie had a forum along with his other great information on Reattas. I am a regular on the AACA forum.... most of the time at the Reatta site but also look at other Buick post. I am the BCA technical advisor for Reattas........doesn't mean I know everything about Reattas but probably know someone that does. My only Reatta for about the last 9 years is a 1991 Black/red coupe with CD and 16 way seats, it has around 28K miles.

Never thought I would see the day we had to worry about cars that have no gasoline catching fire.

Unfortunately the small river that caused all the damage in Waverly wasn't part of the TVA system. As far as I know it has no dams to regulate the flow. TVA does a great job of regulating the water levels. They have a flood prediction center that monitors the weather constantly and when they think a flood is inevitable they will lower the water level in advance by running the generators in the dam wide open to try to offset the effects of a lot of rain. When that isn't enough they will open the spill (flood) gates in stages and start letting water out. When they have all the spill gates open it is an awesome sight to see and hear. You just have to be there to appreciate the amount of water coming out of the dam and the power it has. It is so loud you can hardly talk to anyone if you are near it. The concrete building you see on the right is the powerhouse where the turbines and generators are that generate electricity. At the bottom of that building is where water would come out during normal operation of the dam.

A record amount of rain fell, 15-17 inches, in Humphreys County, TN that caused flash flooding. You probably saw it in the news. When you see this kind of damage in TN you think tornado, not flood. It happened so fast people didn't even have time to get out of the water's path. Homes were destroyed and some people were swept away with the water. I know people who lived in Waverly, TN but luckily they had moved away a couple of months ago. I talked to them on the phone tonight. They knew 2 of the people who died in the flood. Sad...

Help desk syndrome: when the user stops calling it is fixed.

Let's see more photos of Reattas. I love to look at Reatta photos. Here is a photo I took in historic Rugby, TN 10 years ago when I had Mustang wheels on my Reatta.

Good looking car! Also like the "pusher" right next to it...
