I hope this post doesn't get zapped , but if it does, I apologize in advance Mr. Mod..

I simply cannot resist:

Q: What is the hardest part about eating a vegetable?
A: Getting her out of her wheelchair...

We really should delete some of the comments, mostly mine. I will if anyone asks me too. That's why we have the off topic thread.

It's turned out being one of the funniest htreads that we've had for a while, not counting the off topic thread

Sitting here is the proud owner of vehichle number 2.
After searching long and hard, calling mucho financial institutions and no loans i gave up>Went to Pa got a loan from him. Went looking today for buy here pay here so i could put what he had to give me down plus what little i had managed to save.
Up the road from where we live about 5 miles is a small dealer with mostly newer vehichles.He had a 595 special.Early 80s Chevy 2.5. I figured what the heck since i only plan on having this one a year. Well that turned out to be sold but he had just got in from his brothers girlfriend her 89 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais. It has some rust basically where the truck had it.Has no inspection but what made it great was he is going to inspect it which makes it good for one year. It has an R-title but that was before she had gotten it. She had the car from around 7500miles to now 128k. He had a price of 700 on it but we got it for 685 w tax title and tag transfer.

Ill have pics up Monday night or Tuesday morning. Picking it up Monday afternoon around 230. So pysched. Me has wheels and what not again.


The interior is insane. Couple minor defects but nothing major.It has chrome trim around all the door locks and switches. The gauge cluster is insanely fricking attention getting. I redlined the 4 cylinder 2.5 out at 6200 RPM.

The steering is tight as hell and suspension has no visible or reactive problems. I can tell a female drove the car by how quiet the motor is, how it doesnt shake and just runs insane. Outside like i said their is some rust but im not worried w it going through inspection.

So in review,

1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 2 door Coupe 2.5 4 cylinder 128k miles for 685.


Anybody got any good oldsmobile sites i can get onto? I need to know if i can put the 2.25" cat and muffler on this, and what i can do for an air intake.

Also anything performance for the calais, nothing too much just to get me from the 98HP to over a 100. The thing is supposed to have 98HP and 135ftlbs torque. 23 City 33 highway.


Any info or what not let me know.

kinda got the new comp working.... gotta tweak with the RAID though. its only showing 2 of 3 hard drives. when i disable raid, all 3 show up in device manager

And your still eating trixs you silly checkerboy tricks are for kids, not checkerboys.HA i knew i could think of one.

RAID is a system for using hard drives as redundancies for back-up. It doesn't show one drive because its using one drive to back up the others. Unless thats the way you want your computer set up you should just disable RAID and set it up normally.
Eric

I want to use the other hard-drives for games, music and anything else I feel like posessing

Woot the board is back. Mike and i were in w/d today before i hit up the Giant for 4hrs 15 mins of fun. he told me last night 3 different times he was going to whip up the pork chops but never did. I went to bed at due to exhaustion and woke up at 1200.

The cutty will be here in 18 hours cant wait for that. Then pics of the wheels.

Mike, do you mind throwing a steak on the BarB for me?

I don't get along with pork as good as I'd like to.

I'll bring the prawns, and the Canadian Beer! :evillol: If you think that you can handle our beer that is

everytime I started walking into the kitchen, i realized how long i'd spend cooking.... damit i realized how lazy i've become.

My boss is a really nice guy, but hogs his computer. I really can't balame him though. I would as well.

Ive just downloaded AIM on my own puter, just have to make up an identity.

Stu is usually taken, I wonder if OBP is

I must be famous, for all my usual names to be stolen

You could be.

Oh, Crap, I never thought of that one. It's probably available.

I didn't want to use OverBoardProject, it just has too many letters to type :lol2:

not to mention it's probably taken

yup, oddly enogh it's my only messanger where I'm on-line at the moment. I probably won't be for long, I was chatting with some woman living a 1/2 hour away until 2am last night. As a result I'm tired.

lol everyone read the above.


Came home from class at 900 and there is the cutlass lol. Drives good, i got some interior cluster bulbs out that i need to address and i think the oil pressure gauge fuse popped. It moves but sporadically.Great accelleration lo and handling. Looking for some tires and other items. Must have huge fuel cell cuz i put 9 gallons in at half tank so thats about 18 gallons.

I got stranded tonight. I don't think that I've been stranded in over 10 years until tonight either.

I had a potential customer come in yesterday looking for a 7 seater van, so I found her a really clean 6 seater transport van with room for 1 more. So the lot bought it, knowing that we can sell it even if she doesn't want it.

I took it home tonight, then ran it down to the car wash, and grabbed some tough up paint.

By that time I was hungry, ran over to A&W, and the fuel pump quit in the parking lot.

I hate being stranded, but I'm glad that it happened to me instead of on a test drive.

Whomever buys this one will have 1 nice clean, tight van for a very fair price. Although it's high mileage.

My messanger is off tonight, I need some sleep

Is this a GM van or what? And Fuel Pump replaced already?

It's a Pontiac so a GM product. It has the longest dash that I've ever seen.

The fuel pump will be replaced bu the weekend, and i'd like to have it sold bu then.

It'll be a very high commission van, every other lot ignored it because it had tatered and torn seat coveres, and the carpet was covered on that patio carpet.

Well you'd never guess what I discovered, everything was covered up within weeks after they bought it. It's almost perfect.

I need to get the head lined re-upolstered. I'll look into geting a DVD player installed at this time, or at least wired in for 1.

My boss paid $350.00 for it, and we'll probably sell it for $3500 - $4000

Tomorrow was suposed to be my day off, although I have a couple of hours work lined up now trying to make this deal happen.

Plus I finally have that interview with the grocery store tomorrow.

If I get it I'll be working in the seafood department in a fishing town. I'm sure that they know tricks that in-land people just don't have the opertunity to learn.

I would think that this experience will be very valuable where ever I move to in the future

Good Stuff. Pics tomm of the calais lol. Ive kinda named it big pimping because my friend got in and thats what were going with at moment lol.
I found out distributorless ignition means you got 2 30 dollar USD coils.

My messanger is off tonight, I need some sleep damnit Stu, you were also supposed to keep me LOL-ing at work, sometimes i have time for a 30 minute conversation with Shawn, and thats with a few customers lol. business really slowed down after Kings opened across the street. :banghead: I really hate standing around doing nothing. So i've been helping throw freight, hanging tags, stocking candy at the checkstands. anything.."

Sorry Mike,

don't forget that when you throw the freight they just love it when you really hide it 3 bays down and under a big tarp

Plus when your hanging tags they hate it when that job's done right as well.

As you know this is all called a make work project.

Candy is sacred though :lol2:

i would hang the tags in the wrong place, but since I do write orders, i don't feel like having overstock of things that aren't needed. I did that to one item, and they FINALLY realized it after 30 cases had come in! lol. never thought of hiding under stuff and freaking the guys out might be a bad idea, since 2 of them are 50+.

just got done bowling with co-workers. pretty fun. its been a while since I bowled. had a few beers, talked to friends now headed into work! the big boss didn't seem to care. kinda feel like crawling into bed and sleeping!

I'm a little tired now but I'll turn on AIM for you later

I'm a little tired now but I'll turn on AIM for you later cool man, i'll be mobile most of the night.

I got an interview on April 12th 7AM for UPS package mover.Pretty much pick the box up and put on conveyer belt and what not. It would be a 3-9 or 4-9AM job then off to class come home off to other job.

Lots of luck Shawn

And i hope i can get that.They specifically dont want mexicans just read their online application and they have lots of openings. Working 2 jobs though that mite not be cool but itll give me a chance to get out of debt.

Just get a better quality all in 1 unit and make your own money :lol2:
Mine makes the real money look fake

In Canada they came out with a new paper for their bills and when it's ripped you can see several layers all woven together (a clerk at the local grocery store made a mistake and ripped a 50 that I gave her)

hade a 1995 blazer 60,000 miles- live in south carolina. the blazer wil not start when temp below 30 degrees, if put in garage it will start. when wont crank will start after temp reaches 35. no one can figure this out. any ideas?

Welcome to Automotive Forums singleroni :cheers:

This isn't really the right place to post a vehicle related problem, it's more the place to BS about every day life. However we'll give it our best shot helping you out.

I might not understand you correctly.
From what your saying it sounds to me like when it's colder than 35 degrees the starter won't even turn over.

If this is true it could be a few things, and they are all related.
First thing to check is the battery. This might sound odd, but batteries don't have as much energy when they're cold.

Next check out the big battery wires. They do eventially get too much corosion to work properly. Again heat can effect them.

There is still a chance that it's your ignition switch. They do go from time to time. If it's the ignition switch it's just coincidence that it doesn't work in the cooler temps.

And the last thing is the starter.


You can warm the battery up with a hair drier enough, where if it's the problem it'll start.

And you can test the rest with a multi meter.

This web site might help you, if not let us know

Yup im changing out that freaking starter tommorow.Also put the Raptor muffler on and thats coming off tomorrow.It raised RPMS 200 and threw a code.WE changed the plugs out and they were bad lol

How bad a chore to replace O2 sensor on an 88? Can i deep socket the pig?

In a perfect world changing an oxy sensor is as easy as changing a spark plug, just a little harder to get into.

But in the real world it's probably sceized on there with rust. Which requires a oxy acetlene tourch to loosen.

Try using penetrating oil over night, and then taking it off woth a socket, or even a box end wrench, but if it doesn't move you'll have to drive it to where you can use a torch.

Lots of luck

Lol it goes on mechanics list.
