#1281 of 1602 I have KYB upfront by Henry Jul 26, 2001 (10:21 am) Week five - I visited my car today. It didn't say anything at first but I could tell that it was glad to see me. We talked for awhile and then I had to go. I did bring it a get well soon card. I left it on the windsheild where it would be easy for my Aurora to see and read. Poor baby had her transmission removed. She told me it hurt but that she didn't cry. She was a trooper! I'm so proud of how the car is keeping a postive frame of mind during this difficult multi-operation repair. If you like I can post the car's mailing address. Better still, don't waste the paper and the postage. Go out and do something nice for your Aurora. Show it that you care. Show it that it is appreciated. Remeber, you still have yours. Think of Henri, a man separated from his Aurora. Think of how lucky you are. Go . . . Do it Now before you forget Where is she parked? Have you seen her ? Tell me have you seen her? Oh I hear her roar as the cold winds blow On the Street Music on the Radio. Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen her? |

Okay, I'm not an Aurora owner(considered one though) but I am an Olds owner(2001 Intrigue GLS) and I think I qualify as being obsessed with my car. As someone else mentioned, I spent the $120 and bought the service manual for the Intrigue less than a month after I bought the car and mine has the 5 year 60K warranty. I've already done several "photo shoots" of this car as if it were a supermodel posing in a bathing suit or something. BTW, I'm still trying to find an attractive young woman to stand up through the sunroof of the car for a picture(cloths on guys)  Henri(or was it Zinc that did it) that story about hitting 139mph with the Christopher Cross song is killer. Thats a cool driving song. I haven't done 139 in the Intrigue yet, but I've had her up to 115. The song I did it to was GnR's "You could be mine" from Terminator 2. I was scanning stations and came across that one so naturally I cranked the Bose system up and when I hit the freeway I killed the A/C and floored it. Didn't even look at the speedo as the tach was much more fun to watch and I had to keep a close eye on the horizon for cops. When I did look at the speedo it was at about 115 and thats when I decided to ease off a bit. Considering what a gas the Intrigue's 3.5 liter V6 was when doing this, I can only imagine what an Aurora's V8 is like. Hardesty, do you live in TN? I hope you don't because you just gave me an idea for personalized tags. Thats cool that your getting those for your 2002 van too. |

| mosaix, I live in CA and we currently have "2K1 OLDS" on the Aurora and will have "2K2 OLDS" on the new Silhouette and "BYE OLDS" on the new Aurora. The "2K1 OLDS" will most likely be turned back in and become available to someone else (maybe not the buyer of the 2001 Aurora). | |

Yes the highway was our hide-away But we have come to the End of the Road We must both let go WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS! |

| I am obsessed with my 2001 Aurora 4.0 because it is the only car I have owned that makes me feel glad that I was born! | |
| Never before has any car hooked me to the point where I didn't replace an older model (95) for a newer model (99) because I can't bear the thought of trading in the older one. | |
| You get "PISSY" over simulation calulations for the accelaration of the car. | |

when the servicing dealer, who is providing your car with the safety standards certificate required to plate a used car in Ontario, tells you the car is ready - you show up only to find they dont seem to have the keys. two minutes of looking reveals that the "car wash guy" has the keys and the car - and you , in a panic and distress filled voice shout NOOOO, STOP HIM! , and the service adviser goes running outside in a vain attempt to do so. when they ask you why they shouldnt wash your car, and they know its a 97, and you are kind of hesitant to say because you love the car and dont want strangers washing it only because they cant do anywhere near as good of a job as myself . . and when you go outside, you see the water spots not dried off and point them out to the poor guy - i think thats obsession.... |
