NINETY EIGHT REGENCY

Well.. he should come get it when you are home hard as that is. He did not think long term about his actions.

I did not want to say it, but I was thinking the same thing about him being dumped too.

Wow... I am still trying to place you.. That was nice I did that... I do not remember that..

The sad part is someone gets hurt by these types of people.

Thank you sir. I did not realized so many people missed it. It dates back to early days of Cheers and Gears. Thank you too kind sir.

He left. He should not feel he can come in and out as he pleases to your home. What is he thinking? He made his choice. Go open the door of the garage of his 68 year old new friend.

That is the sad part.. we all want to help at one time or another, but fear getting involved because of our society.

My near misses: I was in the market for the first time in 2000. The banks won't finance anything after a certain year. I tried to be nice and give business to this local Cadillac dealership. They had five Oldsmobile Ninety Eights on the lot. Two of them had digital gauges, and the other three did not. The silver one was quite nice. They had all been owned by older buyers. The manager was willing to work with me, but it was the salesman "deacon John" as I refer to him who kept saying "give me the money". The reason I refer to him as "deacon John" is because if you have ever attended church, there are church elders or members who are long standing members or high in the church. He looked like one of those people who sit up front in church. Anyway.. He was not willing to sell me a Ninety Eight because he was trying to pawn this red Oldsmobile Intrigue off on me which had been on that lot for months. I told him I want an Oldsmobile, but not that one. I am not a fan of analog gauges and bucket seats and I hate red cars. I was sort of mad because of what was going on with Oldsmobile at the time. When I declined on that, he was then trying to pawn a 1997-1999 champagne Buick Park Avenue off on me. I felt like I was boxed in, and almost settled for the car even though I did not want it. The Park Avenue reminded of why I thought it was not fair the Oldsmobile Ninety Eight was not around in 1997 with the new design. I did go to a Volvo /Oldsmobile/Buick dealership and look at a Regency. The Oldsmobile Regency was around for two years(1997-1998). The Regency was very close to a Ninety Eight, but it was still an Eighty Eight. It did not offer digital gauges and it reminded me of what Jon Rock did when he ran Oldsmobile. He said the Regency was the last shot for people who liked Oldsmobile the way it was. If digital gauges were offered, I would have bought it. They knew a newer vehicle would mean higher payments and more money for them. I was not going there. The dealership tried to do everything to get me to buy there. The salesman came and picked me up from my job in a Cadillac Eldorado. He was trying to put me in that car. I liked it, but that gas mileage was not so hot, plus it had bucket seats and analog gauges too. It was white too. In the end, I got approved, but I walk away. I looked a 1999 Bonneville SSE. I figured I could tolerate it because it had heads up display( digital) and the seat controls were on the console. These people at the Pontiac dealerships were total fools. That is why it was a lower performing dealership. How are you going to tell someone you need to put 10,000 down on a car?? Come on!! NEXT!! I looked a local Buick dealership. They had a Roadmaster there. I could not get past the interior and lack of luxury features and the headlight design. I looked at a Buick Riviera that was the new design at that time, and the salesman said someone had bought that one. Even though I do not care for the 1995-1999 Buick Rivieras, the interior was quite cozy. I looked at the burgundy Oldsmobile Aurora that was a 1999. The console was too intrusive to me and it was not as roomy as I thought it would be. I liked the control layout, but that console was too wide and too in your face. This was at a Chevrolet dealership. He was about to put me in a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera. I remember because it was light blue. I was like I want Oldsmobile, but not that one. He then showed me a Monte Carlo and was willing to put me in it, but it felt stripped to me. Something was missing. I liked the interior room. I also thought 29,000 for a Chevrolet Monte Carlo was a bit much. I then kept trying to get approval for Ninety Eights in other states. No luck. Banks said they were too old and I had to go newer. I ended up at a Oldsmobile dealership that was about to be phased out as they were selling Nissans. I walked in with my money and they did the deal. I got the first Ninety Eight I owned that was the 1994. Never give up, do not settle. If you want to hear the tale of the Toronado, I will tell that too.

This is the main reason why the perception gap exists. They drive a Lexus no matter what. This will be Toyotas downfall. They are falling into that trap GM and Ford fell into. GM learned it not only has to look good, but perform well and last. I noticed too Toyota is secretly adding more service areas to their dealership body. Toyota also is scaling back on the plants here secretly Toyota is also keeping all its mechanical issues under wraps (i.e. the sludge issue and Tundra issues) Toyota also is misusing its work force too. Yet... people blindly buy these cars. In reality, Toyota is no different than Wal Mart. I cannot stand Wal Mart. If she wants to buy a Toyota, tell her to go ahead...

Nice photos. Those take me back to a time when car design was a work or art and not just a car. They had style and grace. GM is getting back to that again. I saw Black vipers arm in the photos with the Camaro. I knew it was him because of his arm and his shirt.

You must remember something.. He lost his job and he drives over in a new BMW what is that supposed to mean? This displays insecurity on his part and trying to make you feel bad. Please understand what he has done will come back to him. You have to be the better one and go on and live your life. You must be strong where you are weak. If you decide to move go. Please do not push others away because of him. What hr fails to realize is what he did, someone is going to do to him. On a funny but truth side if it had been me and he drove over in a BMW, I would have said too bad it is not a Cadillac or GM car.

Thank you. James B was the one who created it under my suggestion of what I wanted. Northstar found it. That Ninety Eight I saw in person in 1991 at a Oldsmobile dealership. It was the one along with a burgundy one with digital gauges that inspired me to buy one along with the fact I wanted one. I always liked those wheels too.

I do humbly apologize to you. I knew it was Oldsmobile something. I could not spell it right in my mind.

I wished someone would. I would like to see that. It would be nice. It is nice you missed it. I did too. Thank Northstar for finding it.

You have to change what you think and say.. The same effort you put into saying something negative takes the same about of energy to say something positive. That is fear. You think the worst, and you expect the worst. What does it cost you to think positive and say positive things and put some action behind your words like Ocn blu said.. Not a thing. So... put some action behind your words and change in your daily life what you say or think about your situation and circumstances. As for as the area of romance, that is some most people go through. They get involved, and start to experience feelings they never experienced before and it scares them. It is the investment of time and energy you are putting into the situation.

Thank you Northstar!! I just put it back up. It was time for it to return. I copy it and put it up. Thank you so much again.

Funny black viper. I had the high post count because I used to post the news every day. I t was not easy work. I just do not remember you from before though. I am trying to place you.

I am sorry for you guys who are not out or comfortable with your sexuality. I know I have been out for years and I took hell in the beginning for it and had threats against my life, but at the end it will not matter. Be who true to you are and proud of who you are. The best example you can set is by being yourself. At the end of the day being true to yourself is more important that thinking someone's opinion matters that much. I do understand your fears. You do not want to lose your family or their support. They mean that much to you. In some small way, they do know. They just do not want to discuss it. But people should love you and accept you unconditionally. You fear being alone too. The way I look at that is people are putting their lives in your face and want you to accept them. Gay people should not be simply tolerated, but accepted. When you are ready to be out, you will be out. Please do not ever feel ashamed of who you are. The younger guys here who are gay have it easier coming out. They also do not know the struggles that took place before the 1990's and 1960's. Peace to all of you.

Dang! That is a job!!! That is more than I have to deal with.

That would be nice to see a new signature. It would be nice to have one with a 1990's 98 and 1990's Toronado on it.

Thank you for that info. I used to be the top poster around here too. That sort of thing is not important to me anymore. I used to also have a signature that was created for me by James B. from Australia. He was also my Holden connection too. It was a Ninety Eight Regency and it was in black and written in Oldsmobile script. I do miss having a signature sometimes though.

When did you live here?? I know where that is. That is way past the Galleria..

Wow.. How old is your son? What is C and D??
