I have a sickness.

Hey y'all,

So I have a sickness where I would rather drive an old car than a new one. I have had a Mustang, Fairlane, Bronco, and currently "drive" a 79 Fiat Spider. I put drive in quotations because most of the time I or some poor mechanic is working on it.

I've never owned an Olds which is kind of surprising since that is the only car my parents and grandparents bought. One set of grandparents had the ill fated diesel 98. Some of my fondest memories are of my dad and I in his 75 Cutlass Supreme.

I've joined to actually do some research this time and not just fall in love with a car. Right now, I am thinking of a 70-73 Cutlass Supreme or 442.

The only way to treat that sickness is to, put a car wanted ad up here on Classic Olds and purchase one previously enjoyed by a member here who has too many sicknesses lol.

Welcome, good luck with your search.

Oh, I will. I just need to finish up the Spider and get her sold for a lot less than I paid for it.

Thanks

Haha, Ohhh no!!. Pffffft.. Every part I buy for my 76 is worth more than the car LOL.
With a sense of humour like that, you will get along with all of us here!!
