It's been a really, REALLY, long time, ACNA.

[aura1]

Hello all! 

It's been a good two years since I've actively participated in this forum. Since then I've owned several vehicles, but todays date lists me as having a '15 BMW 328i X-drive, along with a 14 Nissan Sentra SR.

It's nice to be perusing the forum once again. I look forward to chatting with some vets, along with some of the newer folks. Some of you will remember me as a Mod, and until recently I held that title. Even though I didn't work here any longer.

Anyways, back in my day, we yelled at each other, we chased away the folks with "Supercharged Auroras" and we fought amongst ourselves quite openly. Hopefully we still have a great deal of fun here! 

I hope some of the old timers will chime in! It'd be nice to chat again!

Aaaaaaaaaand let the drivel begin! Everyone say hello to our drivel sponsor, Aura1.

RCA1186 Randy T. scottydl Marc Mr. Javi oldwino Oldsnut dynamic1964 sall I wouldn't say you guys would miss him, but you've probably cursed at his nonsense on this site once or twice.

[scottydl]

All I remember is that you moved around Illinois about 7 times in 2 years. I guess with a '15 BMW and a '14 Nissan you must have a job now? haha

(Seriously nice to have you stopping by again!)

[Oldsnut]

Oh my Lord!!!!!! Look what crawled out from under a rock.

[RCA1186]

HE LIVES lol

Still moving around IL! We actually inherited a home up here in Brookfield. So my roots will be tied here for a bit. AND! I even have a job! I'm a Sales Advisor for your local, friendly, Bill Jacobs BMW, VW, and Mini of Naperville. Life is good, Gents! 

Dare I ask, but hows about a 'What's everyone driving now" post? Collins tells me the forum is quiet these days. Figured I'd come in and anger a few people.

It was a heavy rock I'll have you know! 

Nelson still on the forum? And are you in another 2G old nut? 

[RCA1186]

Nelson never comes around here anymore. It has been pretty quiet but we do still seem to get new members almost daily.

[XJSman89]

Well as you know, I'm driving the xB full time, the XJS on weekends, and the 370Z whenever I can pry the keys from my wife's hands. Lol. I miss the Olds though, there's nothing quite like a V8!

Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 via the ProBoards app

Nice to see you again, turns out I've been a member since 2006!

[sall]

Welcome back! Yes, pretty quiet around here but the info is all here for new owners. Perhaps new members choose to research...

Still in my '96 in the spring/summer/fall. With '98 color matching parts car.

[Marc]

Welcome back. I still have my 2001 4.0.

[scottydl]

I miss our '99 like crazy... I used to see it up the street where the new owners live, but I think it stays mostly at their other home (in Arkansas, several states away) now.

Still driving the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica that replaced the Aurora (it has 148k miles!) and also bought a 1995 Chevy Suburban 2500 (3/4 ton version, pretty rare) with a gigantic 454 V-8. We use that for towing our 32' Forest River travel trailer that I bought this summer too. And I still have the 1969 Pontiac Exective with its 400ci V-8. So there are still some American gas hogs sitting around... good times!

I bought a 1st Gen and hated it and moved back to 2nd Gen and looking for another 2nd Gen for the wife.

Those wheels look awesome!! I miss my Aurora. Love my new car though, don't get my wrong. Wish I could have kept both lol

[rorafan]

Welcome back! Two years already huh?

This is a great place...definitely quieter now than when I joined way back in 2006 but still one of the best forums I've been a part of. I'm in the middle of moving houses and that has been preventing me from coming around much lately.

Still driving my '97 Aurora. Now with Bonneville wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Blizzaks. :-)

[Randy T.]

Did I tell you I inherited the Great Blue Chop top? It still looks like a Fiero, but there is a double 4.6 AWD Aurora under the body now. I will post pics as soon as the Missouri Highway Patrol is done with it in a super fast (200+mph) undercover sting that only my car could handle, that's all I am allowed to say.

You forgot to mention that they also made you an honorary highway patrol officer and you get to pull over whoever you want with it, too. That's the best part.

Didn't they supercharge the 4.6's too?

[oldwino]

Welcome back, Zach! Still got mine though I think she needs a AC compressor.

[nelson480]

How did you get out from under that rock i kept piling more rocks on top of?
Btw im back also muhahahaa!

[Paulaurora]

Welcome back MR Nelson ! how is the aurora doing ?

[71corvette454]

Hey, hello Zach and Dan! I'm not posting much either, good to see some older folks around though!

AND I second what Collins said about Randy's new whip - he let me drive it last week, during his summer vacation in Poland. It was a blast!
