Hello everybody!
First of all I want to say that I live in Poland, which means that I don't speak english very well - sorry for all the mistakes i will make (or I've already made).
About me:
My name is Łukasz Kłeczek (you will probably pronounce it moreless "Lucas Kwecheck"). I live in a small village called Kanie Helenowskie (about 2000 people) near Pruszków, near Warszawa (in english "Warsaw") which is the capital of Poland. I generally like cars, but especially american muscle cars - unfortunatelly they are rare in Poland. Auroras are rare too - maybe not that much in the place where I live (I know 2 other Auroras about 5 miles from me), but if you want to buy one you have almost no choise - there are between 0 and 5 available for sale in the whole country.
About Aurora:
As I said there are at least 2 Auroras not far from me. I've seen them a few times when I was younger, but didn't realise that I don't even know what car is that - it just wasn't important to me. But one day I was riding a bike in Pruszków. Suddenly I heard unbelievably astonishing sound. I started looking around, searching for a Camaro, Charger, Challenger, Corvette or something like this (haven't seen a Challenger in my life!), but the sound disappeared [that's probably not the best word here] immediately and I didn't find it! Fortunatelly after about 2 seconds the sound returned and it was closer. Then I saw the Aurora overtaking a car (just like every other car can do it). It sounded so amazing that I accelerated (I was on bike) and pursuited Her to the next red light just to hear the sound again. It was in 2005 or 2006.
About my Aurora:
Some time after that - about 1 year later - new priest came to my parish [not sure if this sentence is correct]. He wanted to buy a car, but didn't know which one to choose so I showed him the Aurora. He was really impressed and finally decided to buy this one:
moto.paa.pl/?itemid=C2241486&t=oldsmobile_aurora
It was really cheap - previous owner agreed to sell it for 12 000 zł, which today is about $4000. Most Auroras were about 15 000 - 20 000 zł, but this one had "a few scratches" on almost every part of the body. When we went to Łódź to see the car, the priest said that this car was much too good for a priest, and decided to buy Toyota Yaris (I'm not sure if you have them in US, so look here: www.freefoto.com/images/29/36/29_36_9---Toyota-Yaris_web.jpg ) or something like this.
One year later we (me and my family) found that our FSO Polonez ( vette454.w.staszic.waw.pl/marki/images/Daewoo%20FSO%20Polonez%20Atu%20Plus%201.6%20GLI%201.jpg ) was too rusty and we needed something new. So we phoned the man from Łódź again and bought his Aurora for ourselves!
At the moment she's a bit broken - actually she probably was since we bought her (I write "we" instead of "I" all the time because the real owner of the car is my dad and I see nothing wrong with it) - the ["nagrzewnica" in polish, I have no idea how to translate it, I mean: the thing that heats the interior] is no longer hermetic and the fluid is everywhere but inside the ["nagrzewnica"].
Here are few photos of the car taken 30 III 2008 - a few days after we bought it - on the first one you can see me staying next to her, on the last and [the one before the last one] you can see my dad:
