Bad habit of doign that here as well. Had the stereo going for 2 hours with my new battery, it was going chuuuuug chugggggggg but it turned it over. My engine, whether hot or cold, and even in 10 degree weather, will fire in 2 cycles. Sometimes even 1 but never more than 2

Cleaned/Conditioned All Leather and Vinyl Contemplating a high quality wax for that to be applied in the next few weeks. You've got PM. The folks that make your new favorite leather and vinyl products also make some nice waxes. I'd be glad to let you experience a few things before you commit.

yeah, a couple days ago when i was at home, i spent about 5 or 6 hours detailing, i only got about half done on the engine and still didn't get a chance to vacuum the carpets though. although when i was makin' my way to Green Bay from Minnesota, i stopped for gas and i actually had a couple of people stop and go "wow, is that an Aurora?!" and then i chatted with them for a good 5 minutes or so, while they finish the conversation with "that is a beautiful car". made me know that the time spent was well worth it ;D

Ive had ppl comment me after i got the razzi kit on. Even a guy in a copper Aurora pulled next to me at a red light and said it was just gorgeous. He couldnt believe i was 16 and had this car.
However there are alwys the ricer kids who think their 4-banger honda "hotrods" with a fart can attached are all that. They look, stare, point and i just laugh and stomp on by

steven i didnt kno you were 16? i thought i was the youngest. the 1 thing that gets old is every now and then someone with no clue about cars. mostly a girl will be like "are you driving your parents car today" you ever get that? i kno what you mean about the ricers. i cant stand some of the people in there cars. the other day im at a stop light and this hatch back pulls beside me and starts revving it up and i look at him and sorta laughed and when the light turned green he floored it and you kno me.. i had to put him in his place so i rocketed past him and he says to me at the next light "hey you wanna race for money?" and i laugh and say "why you got NOS on that thing" and he goes " no ill go home and get my 88 mustang somethin somethin" and i laughed at him and asked why he wasnt driving it to begin with

I'd rather race for "prestige" LMAO i think i played NFSUG too much when i was 14 and 15.
No i was never asked that if i was "driving myp arents car" Funny no one ever asked that when i was driving around in the jaguar. Everyone saw me driving it prolly thought i was a rich kid or somethnig. I know they were thinking something. LMAO. I dont floor my dads car though, i drive it the speed limit, go easy on it cause its got a ton of power and thats why he lets me drive it when my cars in the shop or somewhere
I shold start doing that in my car, but its hard. I like the "anti-abuse" feature in my PCM on the aurora though. I think that saves the tranny a LOT. My dads doesnt have it. You can just push the pedal a tiny bit and all the 390horses come alive in 2 grand.
It was meant to save Olds money on warranty work, but now its saves YOU money.
