I am sick!

Please don't anyone who happens to know me stay away. I am out of ways to control my problem. This illness is very contagious! How could I buy two more Oldsmobiles when my garage is already full!! I think I need to go see a expert. Oh and this is no april's fools joke. I bought one car today the other yesterday.

I have five cars now of witch 4 are convertibles. There is no hope for this disease, no shot, pill or counseling works. I plan on working my way through it if I can....Tedd

It's a good thing we have this support group full of people always willing to find another one for us to buy...

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to healing.

Your a sick, sick man !! Quarantine for 14 days then go get your vaccine !! I understand there are 3 now Oldsmoderna, Pfeighty eight and Jetstar & Jetstar however I understand they are only 50 % effective and if you don't receive a yearly booster the disease may return next year worse than you had it this year !! Good luck !!!!!

I don't see a problem. Perhaps you can post picks, so that we may assist you in your diagnoses.

You are in trouble now. Buying one is ok but as soon as you get a second one they breed. Now you are going to have an entire litter of Oldsmobile's coming.

Part of the healing process is called "GARAGE THERAPY"... You just have to spend more time in the garage to actually help fix the problem...

So far, one of mine is in Evansville, the other is in Terre Haute. Once they get on the same property, I'm worried I'll hear 70s funk coming from the garage one night and a new one will show up 9 months later.

They're an invasive species. I went from 11 VWs and 1 Olds to my current diagnosis of 3 Olds and 1 VW. Very hard to get under control.

Call me a what you will, but I think your ailment and claiming your sick is all in your head. Where is the science? I suppose people will say the cure is to not be within 6 feet of gasoline or oil? Yah right!!

I tell my wife or anyone who listens if I didn’t have the car hobby I would take up drinking. Anyone who says you have too many cars is no one you need in your life. Nobody needs that kind of negativity!!

Did you trade a running, driving car for a roller that's 15 years newer like I did?

Nope but I bought a turd 1970 Cutlass S and a 1972 u code . I can't even move the 1970 S no spindles or rearend.




No pictures of U Code. This 1970 has a mint core support .No interior does have steering column with key's and a clean title. I think this was a 350 car. The package tray is very nice. This car is still in factory paint what left of it. It has never been repainted.

I think the 70 looks very salvageable. Depending on what you paid, I would have had an illness as well. Cheers!
