Hi Kurt and mid-60s Buick fans,
My browser, Chrome, is telling me that there is malware on the V8Buick.com site and that I should not log on or visit the site. Anyone else have this message?
Yes, I'm getting the same message with Firefox. It appears to be a service provided by Google though. When Google automatically searches a website, it also looks for malware. Here is the link to the report that was generated this evening when I tried to reach V-8 Buick:

Since I run a Mac perhaps I could risk it, but I'd rather not. Folks using PCs or Android phones might want to be especially careful.
