#41 of 178 Diamond White 97' by dmndwhitedream Apr 11, 2002 (3:30 pm)
Hey everyone! I am so happy to see all of these proud Aurora owners! I have a 97's Diamond White with perhaps every option. I am going to customize it quite a bit. Maybe 20 inch wheels (not to look ghetto, but more to restore the car to its nice conceptual phase). I thought about shaving the handles. There are a ton of things. I am tired of writing them so I will just ramble about them when I make a web page this summer for all of us Aurorians. I will keep you posted!
#42 of 178 Hello from Kansas! by dlcleav Apr 12, 2002 (9:04 am)
I'm on my second Aurora. I purchased a '95 autobahn and drove it 160K miles before the tranny left me stranded. After purchasing a '98 Eldo ETC and driving it for 4 months, I traded the ETC in on a '98 Diamond White autobahn with 18K miles. There are few cars on the market that can combine luxury and speed as well as the Aurora.

dlcleav    What part of Kansas are you from? I live in Wichita, KS and drive a '95 and a '97 both with autobahn. It's good to have another Kansan on board.
#44 of 178 1999 aurora power button by charlieaurora Apr 17, 2002 (8:51 am)
Just bought a 1999 Aurora, 4.0 eng. white diamond in color and 45000 miles and I love the car. Traded in my 2001 Aurora for it because it rides better and has more personality.   I would like to know if anyone knows if it is ok to constantly drive with the transmission power button on all of the time.

Did you take a hit when you traded? Did you have a 3.5 or 4.0 (the 2001)? The power button just tells the tranny to use a more aggresive shift mapping. It won't hurt anything. You might get a little worse fuel economy with it on though.

Welcome back fellow Aurorian.
#48 of 178 'Power Button' Charlieaurora by carnut444 Jun 06, 2002 (6:50 pm)
What you call the power button is what Oldsmobile calls "selectable shift". All it does is change the rpm shift points of the transmission. For instance, when in the normal position, the transaxle shifts at lower speeds. Doesn't harm anything in either position, just possible fuel mileage.
