New Oldsmobile fan from Michigan

bud442 · November 2nd, 2009, 12:03 AM

Just wanted to say hello, I have owned many oldsmobiles through the years. Presently I have a 65 Cutlass and 84 Hurst.

I have raced them, and played around on the street. The 65 is currently having a new motor installed. The 84 is apart having some repairs done(in storage waiting for me to have time).

Grand Ledge, Mi
Bud

Two reasons, One was the economy and second was more important. I had 2 disks repaired in my neck and doc said no racing or roller coasters for 5 years. Or until I feel like I could and with his approval.

I really miss that car. It was street legal and I loved to drive it on the street!! It would set off car alarms as I passed

I have been to every homecoming in Lansing. I live 1 mi from where they have it.

We'll have to hook up next summer, I work afternoons and 7 days a week right now.. but it slows up about February. I used to work 7 days year around, but the economy was slowed that up.

Welcome!! I like Michiganders... I have family in Eastpointe.

wolfman98 · November 4th, 2009, 01:23 PM

Too bad about the neck thing and I can feel what you went through. Sometime soon I have to get 2 discs removed from my neck and have 3 fused together , then doc is putting in a steel plate with screws to hold it all together.

yammiman · November 4th, 2009, 02:20 PM

...I have been to every homecoming in Lansing. I live 1 mi from where they have it...

Did you have a car there this year? - you must know the guy that used to live out by Williamston that had a gold colored Cutlass that he raced - he didn't live too far from me, but I never met him - I think you guys were parked together at the show at the old engine plant - this post has some pictures from this years show - http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/...-michigan.html - like to have my 65 done for next years show - got three cars I'm working on and with the economy the way it is they are all sitting idle!! - maybe I'll get lucky and hit the lottery this winter!!

Bluevista · November 4th, 2009, 03:50 PM

Welcome.

I also have a titanium encrusted neck.

citcapp · November 4th, 2009, 05:46 PM

Both my cars could use the lottery money. I will share some if I win

Blue Vista sure its not the whole head encrusted? Just kidding

cutlassjoe · November 4th, 2009, 05:50 PM

Hi Bud442. Welcome. Great bunch of guys & gals on this site. Good to see some Oldsmoblires from Michigan. I live in Windsor, but work in Detroit. My job takes me all over Michigan, and I even know where Grand Ledge is...Very nice cars. Hope to see you at the Olds show in Lansing.

84hurst · November 4th, 2009, 05:58 PM

Welcome! im not too far from you in Charlotte and also have an 84 Hurst/olds.

I think it's become the American dream to win the lottery!! We play all the time. The state of Ohio hasn't been giving any money away for quite a while - we used to win $20 - $50 pretty often on scratch offs, now we're lucky to get $1!! I love scratch offs!!! My sister in Kansas sent me some for my birthday, and my old boss, Marc, who now lives in Georgia sent me some, and I send Ohio ones to them! It's fun. If we win, we just send back the tickets! When Marc and I worked together, he'd tell me I have a gambling problem. I said yea... I'm not winning!!!

But we FINALLY got the Casino bill voted in yesterday!!! I'm excited!! Start building those babies!!! Cha-Ching!

Blue Vista sure its not the whole head encrusted? Just kidding

See Benny Hill Video in the making.... it does make you wonder, doesn't it?? LOL!!

Hi Bud,
From your sig pic I can see you are the guy who was selling the Oldsmobile Bricks over on ROP. I'm not a member there, but lurk occasionally. Anyway, I caught you at the homecoming this year and grabbed a couple of bricks from you--thanks a bunch!

1969w3155 · November 7th, 2009, 08:03 PM

Would this be your car back in '02 w/redlines? Looked good then and now.
