Another Newbie... Hello From BMac!
Hello Classic Olds Enthusiasts,
I'm excited to join this community! I recently picked up a 1969 Convertible 442 and couldn’t be more thrilled to explore the world of classic Oldsmobiles. I’m based in Southern California, where the sunshine is perfect for cruising.
While this is my first Oldsmobile, I’ve previously owned a C1 Corvette and a 1965 Mustang, so I’m no stranger to the joys of classic cars.
My father had an 1968 Tornado. And my Grandfather had an Olds Super 88. I wish I had both of those cars now.... but I am glad to keep the Olds tradition in my family.
Looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing stories with all of you seasoned Olds enthusiasts!
Cheers!
BMac

Well, my brother lives in southern California---Santa Ana, to be exact---so we do pay some attention to all of the weather stories from out there. I know that the media exaggerates everything and gives the impression that the entire state is engulfed in flames, but if it isn't fires or earthquakes or "atmospheric rivers" or football teams moving around like chess pieces or whatever, it seems that there is always some disaster or near disaster befalling the state.
My brother has several friends whose houses were burned to the ground as a result of the recent fires. You really have to feel for these people. Some of them left their homes with like three minutes' notice, carrying only what they could grab as they ran out the door plus the clothes they were wearing, and they lost pretty much everything else. You might have your cell phone, but you might not even have a charger for it.
Where do you even begin to rebuild your life?
