| its an 87 Monte SS... dual exhaust(which needs to be replaced). the car rumbles, so it when i step on it it probably sounds like a race car... maybe this helps in thinking of a nick name... My favorite nick names for a car were attached to my brothers old 87 Thunderbird... one was Thunderturd and the other was Thunderchicken. | |

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. |

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...
