haha this is the 5th post
haha im not thinking very well here trying to get my 5 post in. but im also full of questions. uhm... do you think it is smart for me a 16 shortly turning 17 year old driving on a student learners permit to own/ drive a 70 cutlass s, how do you think the cops will be. they gonna be all over me or see the nice car an let it be?

my first car was this Rallye350. the cops were all over me for the first two months that i got my license. after they realized that i was not a typical kid that was being bad at every turn they left me alone. being a teen driver with a hot rod, it's hard to stay out of trouble but you will have to for a long time so that the cops will respect you. i would recommend that you visit your local doughnut shop (or cop hangout) and they will want to look at your car when they come out. this way they will know that you are a good kid. they should know that all ready because you drive an oldsmobile.

Depends on if you are planing on driving it like
"a 16 shortly turning 17 year old driving on a student learners permit" with "a 70 cutlass s"
If you drive it like an old man they'll probably never know that your not.
i forget where I heard this from, but - the thing you have to remember about police officers is: as far as they are concerned...We Are The Enemy.

hmmmm
they will admire the car but not if they miss it when you blow past the radar My first good car I was 18 with a 66 Impala SS 325 hsp 327 stock but after I added a few goodies plus headers running into steel tubes and dumps they could hear me coming a mile before I got to town All I can tell you is to drive smart or that beautiful car may get scrapped. A hard lesson my son is learning.

Cops? most of the local cops will be at the cruise-ins and shows with their cars or bikes, they are us.
My 18 year old daughter just got nailed doing 80 in a 65 by the Ohio highway patrol, don't mess with them, cold blooded. I've been telling her to slow down, she will now.
Just don't ask for it and you should be fine, pretend there's a raw egg between gas pedal and foot, told her that too.
They'll probably figure your older with that car, just be cool, street racing is a no-no, no joke.
They may pull you over to check out or want to buy the car so don't panic and end up on Cops or one of those scariest cop car chase shows.

You have a nice car. Treat it with RESPECT. When you get your licence, keep the good habits they teach. watch the pro's and emulate them, other than that what everyone else said. If by chance you do get pulled over..."Yes Sir, No Sir, Thank you Sir" It don't mater what he says or does. If you don't agree with him/her take it to the judge. He/She is just another Joe doing a tough job, give them the respect the office deserves, and you will USUALLY be OK. Good luck, and stay safe.

I have a teenage son who's getting dangerously close to wanting my 72 Cutlass. Yup, I'll let him drive it as long as he treats it with respect. Just like the song used to say when they ran the Olds commercials back in the 70's. "There's a special feel in an Oldsmobile".
Hope you really enjoy your ride. When you're done with it and want to move on (God forbid), remember there's an Olds community out here.

Here's some numbers for you...
I was 16 in 79 with a '70, had a 350, 4bbl. 32 in a 25 = cops 1
46 now, (30 later) with a '72; under 65, = cops 0
Funny how this "old school" math is so similar to this "new math" they're teaching now!

my fifth post also
This is my fifth post, still have 47 hours to go before I can post outside of the newbie forum, I had my first cutlass when I was 17, I was pulled over quite a few times but have never gotten a ticket, first thing I did when I bought the car was to install the obnoxiously loud glass packs that drew cops to me, my second mistake was to live in a small town were cops were bored anyways. I got pulled over for everything and anything but never once recieved a ticket. The words "yes officer" "sorry officer" are an important part of anyones vocab when they are pulled over, treat them with respect or they will make life misarable.
Wish this had a spell checker so I would quit looking like I flunked out of english.
