Hi, I seemed to have missed my introduction earlier, so here it is.

I'm Don from the ozarks,well..the flatter part of it anyhow. Been living here all my life and enjoy the four seasons that this part of the country allows.

Oldsmobiles weren't my first love so to say, I think olds picked me. Been a gearhead for as long as I remember. My Ford brother had something to with it, as well as my brother in laws mopar habit. It probably started with a childhood friends father who worked for GM at the KC area plant. He had a new olds (442) every couple of years. I think the sherwood green with gold stripes left an impression on me.

Fast forward to driving age, I needed a car. A buddy had a 71 cutlass with leaking trans and that started the snowball rolling. For 65 bucks I had a car and the attention to get it going. I later found a sweet old ladys' ride just like it. Been attached to that one for over 20 years now, and nothing seems to break my grasp of it, even now.

So keep those olds rolling, I sure enjoy mine.
