    My "Other" Cars

    Figured I'd make a thread with a little of this and that about the other rides I own, currently in the garage(s)

    1975 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency

    Bought this in February 2020 in Centerville, Iowa. 455, AC/AM-FM 8 Track, and everything works! About 21k miles on this one






    My 1999 Saturn SW2

    Bought this in March of 2025, my daily car. 115k about on it now, and just a great little car






    My 2000 Camaro Z/28, bought in January of this year. Lots of work going on recently on this one, lowering it, new upholstery, lots of maintenance, stereo, etc.

    That's a nice stable you have. Love the Olds. And at least you don't have to worry about dealing with the LT1 in that year Camaro. The LS is much easier to work with.
    These are highly engineered precision vehicles, the first step in diagnosing the problem is to strike the suspected offending part sharply and repeatedly with a blunt object, then re-test.

      I love that Oldsmobuick, very nice! The lack of a B-pillar is a great look for a four-door.

        I'd do a double take if I saw any of those on the road. Nice rides and good variety.
        What size and type of tire are on the Olds?

          Thanks guys I really appreciate it!!

          They're 235/75-15 SureTrac. Great tires and still pretty affordable. I've got ~ 8k on them and they're super quiet and very comfortable.

            Yeah, nice fat white wall. My Lincoln could benefit from white walls. Those Corvette wheels look nice on that 'Maro. Might have to get a set for ours.

              Yeah I liked the bigger WW. Not TOO much but looked better than the skinny IMO. Also great driving tires for the price.

              The Z06s are reps but they're a nice 18.5 square set up with 275/35 Nitto 555s and it drives nice. No rubbing even with the lower Strano Springs and Konis

                  Honestly an absolutely killer car. I've put 20k on it and had to replace the starter. That's it! It's been to like 5 states, gone camping, snowstorms, beach trips. Just goes and goes. Arkansas car so it's very clean underneath and I have it fluid filmed.

                      Lovely land yacht you've got there, GM really nailed most of the fullsizer looks in the 70's. The Camaro is pretty nice too, though I'm a bit partial towards the 3rd gen mullet machines.
                      That Saturn looks kinda like an Alero that copulated with a Trans Sport, maybe it's a good thing Saturns never ended up in Europe

                        Thank you!

                        Saturn gets the job done, definitely not a looks machine lol.
