Hi Chris,
As the previous owner of your car, I can vouch for the condition. If Eric didn't re-adjust any of the tune up, this car runs perfect on 92 Octane unleaded. I am a mechanical engineer, I do my own engine work, and am an Olds expert, and I had your car since 2000, so I know every inch of it. You are good to go...dont worry about anything. That car will drive cross country without any problems - i've been over everything including the engine, driveshaft, trans, and differential. The trans was blown when I got the car and it was rebuilt to perfection. As long as you dont abuse the car, you will be fine, even for towing. The key is not to shock the unit too bad since it is made from cast aluminum parts inside and out that can break under extreme load. So no neutral drops - and watch when slowing down almost to a stop and reaccellerating...there is sometime a lag (on all slim-jim cars) before first gear 'catches' again. So just go easy and you'll be fine. You can go full throttle and the car will scream and push you back in the seat...just dont jerk the throttle around or slam it suddenly - you get the picture.
All best
Alan
