A belated introduction...
Hi y'all

I've been posting here for a while now but rudely forgot to introduce myself and my Oldsmobile...I'm John from Garland, Texas (thru Kisatchie, Louisiana and a whole lot more places!) and this is my 1992 Trofeo:

at the tire shop getting new tires and an alignment

washed and waxed...two-plus years of dirt and green tree stuff gone!

visiting the 1941st Historical Aircraft Group in Geneseo, New York

Good body, fair interior, crusty underneath. Want to keep her as a parts car but if I can't find a clean black over gray '92 then this one will have to do for my Series 3 L32 swap

Well howdy. I must say I admire
your lift. I wonder how my neighbors
would feel about me putting one in
my driveway. Nice.

Welcome. I've always liked the Trofeos (well, except for that wrong-wheel-drive problem ). Nice looking car.

If you are interested in a parts car locally (Red Oak), there is one sitting beside a house here that hasn't been moved in years. Might could be bought cheap. Looks like it is all complete.
