#11 of 5865 re: Olds sales by hardesty Nov 27, 2000 (3:07 pm)
I added up the numbers from www.autosite.com for YTD sales through October, and for the models still in production, Olds sales are not down at all. The Aurora, Bravada, and Alero are making up for the drop in Intrigue, and Silhouette sales are flat. The missing models account for all of the drop in sales vs. 1999. The reduced line-up puts Olds in line with Saturn (in terms of number of models offered) and its sales are similar.

Marcy42- Don't count Olds out of the game yet. They have an excellent line of cars and when the 2002 Bravada goes on sale next sring, I'd say Bravada sales will double. How do you like the 2001 Aurora compared with the Intrigue? Is is the 3.5 or 4.0 model? I have a 98 Intrigue and have enjoyed it alot over the past 2 years. Prior to that I had an 89 Olds Toronado. My father has a 95 Aurora which won him back over the GM after he had a terrible experience with a Pontiac 6000 back in the 1980s. Zinc 1- When your wife starts that Camry garbage again, just ask her which car is more fun to drive, more enjoyable to look at, and which one do you do you least mind making payments on each month? And ask her why Toyota dealer have service departments. The fact is their cars break down too. Actually, maybe you better not ask her that if you don't want to end up sleeping in the car:) redskin024- What do you think of the new Monte Carlos? Can you imagine an Aurora V8 stuffed under the hood of one.

A guy told me that the damper actuator motor under the dash that control the air could be the problem. I am off work today and will give it a looksie. Will let you know.

My mechanic had guessed the same thing. Wierd that the only the driver's side would be effected on both cars. I wonder if this is not another "ghost in the machine" like the radio gremlins.
#17 of 5865 Zinc is right... by vwbus1979 Nov 29, 2000 (4:24 pm)
Zinc is right. I've had my Aurora for 2 years now and I STILL get excited when I drive it. I just came back from a two week vacation. As I was snowboarding down the slopes in Michigan, I thought about driving my Aurora when I get back. It gave me a tingle in my stomach to think about it. Why? I don't ask why. I just drive it! Like Zinc said: What's the point of having an ordinary car? My wife also groans when I tell her "It's time for new struts...It's time to change the tranny fluid...It's time for a new a/c pump" But guess what? I still have the car! She KNOWS she can't take it away from me. She has her mini-van (*sigh*) and that's that. So this morning, I was driving on the 134West here in Glendale, CA when I heard this gutter hum...I looked to my left and I saw a 2k1 Aurora WASTING some little rice-rocket who got in his way. I just HAD to catch up to him to see what he was up to. He was a distinguished gentleman who obviously loves his car. He he...I gave him the ol "Nice" head nod and took off. My point is that even though the 2k1 doesn't LOOK the same as our classics, it still invokes that tingle in my stomach! And it ROOOOAAAARRREEEDD!! As for sleeping in the car...he he...Never slept in it. Ummm...Backseat is nice though...

#19 of 5865 sleeping in the Aurora by etharmon Nov 30, 2000 (3:41 am)
I am a very light sleeper and the only time I ever slept in car(other than when I was a little kid) was several years ago when I went on vacation with my parents and they rented a Lincoln Town Car for the trip(this was pre-Aurora days). Typically, I can't sleep in a car, especially if it is in motion. And if it's an Aurora, I want to be behind the wheel:) Several years ago when I was in college, some buddies and I went on a spring break trip to Daytona Beach and my father let me take his Aurora. I noticed that at one point on I-95, all three of them were asleep. So I had to do the next best thing, pop an AC/DC cd in the player and crank it up:)
#20 of 5865 Rust Flavored washer water by coyboy Nov 30, 2000 (5:00 pm)
I have a 95 Classic and noticed little orange dots all over the roof and trunk lid. After a little investigation, I traced it to the windshield washer fluid container. It was FULL of rusty water. As the car was a recent purchase, I assumed the previous owner had cheaped out and just used H2O rather than the proper solution. So, I cleaned it out, reinstalled the container, filled it with washer solution, and forgot about it. This weekend, while changing the oil and doing regular maintenance I noticed the container going to rust again! This time I inspected more closely, and found that some GM engineer (spelled I-D-I-O-T) had designed a metal bushing to prevent collapse of the outlet port by overpressure of the hose clamp. Well, the idea was O.K. but then it was manufactured using some CHEAP galvanized pot metal which is now decomposing! Anybody else ever have this happen? What did you do other than just replace the container? The O.D. of the bushing is 13/16", what would happen if I replaced it with copper tubing or some other metal? Any ideas?
