I only saw one Oldsmobile, an early 70s 98 four door at about the 4 minute mark. I didn't like it. I don't like the Roman chariot style wheel covers, the fake fifth wheel, the skinny tires, the etched glass or the fake convertible tops. I do like the paint on many of them, the chrome, the attention to details throughout. I suppose the loud and bangin part refers to the stereo, I would rather be loud because of the engine exhaust myself. But hey I am a 53 year old redneck so what would you expect?

I liked that big black delta at the end, the big white convertible, and the 80's chrysler 5th avenues.

All those new cars just don't have it.... Even with the wheels and the 5th wheel spares added.

well those arent wheel covers. those are what we call "swangs" they came as an option on the 83 or 84 cadillac eldorados. the fifth wheel is actually a whole rim that was cut in half. and those vogue tyres are pretty much the only tyres that look right on those rims imo. the paint is something else down here, i see more and more creative colors and styles every month. and a lot of people do put alot of people detail into their car. then theres some that just half *** it and it dont look good at all. me personally i dont think id buy rims that stick out that much, they do make some that dont poke out that far.and yea the loud and bangin is the stereo. you wouldnt believe that some of the subwoofers that go into these cars cost about 600 apiece and they put about 4 in there.as for me im a cadillac guy so i like my cars quiet unless its a 300hp monster. so to each his own. if we all liked the same thing nothing would be different. heres a link to get better pics of those rims
