Poor little Volkswagens

Fixed Anyways, congrats Chris, that's pretty dang cool.

I agree with ocnblu, I look back at what I knew about cars in 8th grade and it 's laughable compared to me today just 6 years later. Now it's become somewhat of an obsession but hey it's a good one. You probably already know quite a bit more than I did when I was I was that age so don't feel bad.

Ha I think I've had enough of the W-body for my lifetime now..but an Aurora is not out of the question.

Happy Birthday!

We just have one crazy one year and a half year old Doberman, Tokarra. We got her when she was one year old from a breeder and she must not have been bred very well, we suspect she was mostly kenneled for her first year. She wouldn't even come out of her kennel for about the first month or two we had her and she HATES men so it's been a struggle but she is slowly coming around.

Tool- H.

There are actually a good number of the trucks currently on ebay so at least they are not getting crushed..... Truck 1 Truck 2 Truck 3 Truck 4 Truck 5 Truck 6 Truck 7 Truck 8 Truck 9 Truck 10 and there are even more still.

Did a quick search for Old Navy trucks and this popped up, apparently the trucks have been phased out and some are being sold privately but it is not entirely clear. According to the article the trucks, used by the stores to pile clothes on, are mostly shells without engines or transmissions, though sheetmetal, glass, chrome, and suspension are generally intact. The body of an Old Navy truck can range anywhere from quick-painted bondo basketcase to solid original. At least some of the trucks have been butchered, the frame cut in half and then bolted back together once inside the store. Old Navy Trucks

Happy Birthday Chris!

Actually it was the first gen that only had Oldsmobile written on the CD player, the second gen had Oldsmobile written on the trunk lid, but still little Oldsmobile badging.

I agree 100%. Luckily for now I can switch back to the old layout.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the rear.

Ha wow, I can't even tell that anniversary edition apart from the base model rental's down at Hertz. Pathetic.

Man this thread makes me wonder what the deal is, I cant seem to manage more than 24 mpg, that's if it's all highway driving. After replacing the catalytic converter, spark plugs/wires, fuel filter, and mass air flow sensor, I thought I would see an improvement but didn't see much difference.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone.

Yep, and that was the one I decided to test drive

I agree with the HUD comments, it dissapoints me that it seems to be fading away. Friends that drive my car always think that it is "so cool" and are surprised to see something so hi-tech in a old Pontiac. I would say about 75% of the 97-03 Grand Prix GT/GTP's I have seen have had the HUD option but then when I went to the dealer the other day I took a look at the 07-08 GP's that they had on the lot (about 15 or so) and only one of them had HUD. Sad....

Vibrant Red — Sexy, speedy, high-energy and dynamic, sounds pretty accurate

Even though I think it looks a little bit better, I still don't find the M to be very attractive or interesting.

Funny you mention it, I was just at 2 yards today looking around and one of them had a bright red loaded 97 GTP sedan and it did kind of make me sad, it was completely trashed. I always like to check out the odometer reading to see how long the car lasted just for kicks. I went and looked at the odometer and it had over 170,000 miles on it which didn't make me feel as bad, I felt like it's time was served. What always does bother me is when I see rarer cars (Reatta's, Trofeo's, etc.) that end up in the yards, sometimes completely trashed and sometimes in not that bad of shape, I always think it is a shame someone didn't care enough about them or realize what they had. It always makes me sad to see Aurora's in the yards, knowing that there are fewer and fewer around, they always seemed sort of timeless to me, like they wouldn't ever end up in junkyards.

My all time favorite first gen Aurora:
