Yesterday his profile said 1995 Olds Custom Cruiser. dont know why. it has aurora today.
The Saddleman LeBra has a rectangular area to cut out if you want/need to put that awful plastic license plate mount on. I took it off, and am waiting for a citation before putting it on again. But, since that kind of citation doesnt include a fine Ill just remove it again. Here in L.A. theyre installing cameras at a number of traffic lights to photograph the red-runners and ticket them by mail, so theyre starting to crack down those who dont have a front license plate (guess Im just stubborn when it comes to automated police-state tactics). You might have noticed if you saw my pics on the Classic site, that the windows aren't tinted in front. I had to remove the tinting because of a citation. Also had to remove a clear plastic cover for the back license plate because of a citation. The cops here really steam me.

P.S. Why are the apostrophes disappearing?
By the way, speaking of gender - Pat?? The Host?? Anyone care to start a pool on the host's gender??

Heheheh I guess that rules out every car on the road almost. Bra's do quite a bit of paint damage to a car over a long period of time. Mostly to the clear coat.
BTW My alias matrixfrog does not come from the movie "The Matrix" (Although I loved that movie.) It is a name I came up with after reading some info on SiliconToad. A great hacker in his days.

Anyway - nice to see an AuoraBabe - haven't seen many.

Bra - FYI, Oldsmobile has one for the car for $87 list, with the olds logo. I thought that was very reasonable.
Henry - Saw your car on Zinc's web page. Looks just like mine - same color and all (damn good looking). Guess I got to get the KYBs now. BTW, I had the local Olds dealer pull the maintenance records on my car and boy, did I luck out. This guy had the oil changed every 3 months (even though that was only 1K to 1.5K miles each time), had the induction system cleaned twice and has had the tranny flushed twice. Not bad for 50K miles. Problems were minor, including the driver side lock actuator replaced twice, both outboard rear seat belt retractors replaced, and a knob on the radio(?). Additionally, the fuel regulator valve has been replaced and a transmission selinoid. Looks like I might have a good one if I keep it maintained.
... now, if I can just keep from scraping it up....
Henri
The tranny would "CLUNK" into gear with one hell of sound until I got a module replaced.
The rear seat belts are a recall item for the car. If any of you guys with a 95 have not had the rear seat belts done, you have an appointment with your dealership to make.
The only thing that has happened to my Aurora that I NEVER got an explanation for was the dead Aurora. One day, I moved my car about 100 feet because I had to run into my house for something quick. When I came back out to the car EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. I mean nothing at all!!
I shifted into neutral and it finally started, but it was running on the battery. I went about 2 to 3 miles and the car came back "on-line."
It has never happened again and surprise surprise, the dealership has no explanation for it. However, in all fairness to the dealership, you can not diagnose a problem you can't see. Needless to say, my car did its cute (spelled annoying) little trick where it fails to retain the error codes.
Tpken, there are a number of things you should not make the mistake of calling me. Careful, careful!

Bad Ken. (smile)

As I took off the back wheels just to check the pads on those, I noticed that both of the lug caps were broken. They were also strangly hard to remove. The fronts popped of with no problem, but the backs just flexed and I had to coax them off. Anyone else with this problem?
Aurorababes rare in your area, Ken? I see about 8 of the same auroras in my area through the week. Of those, only 1 is driven by a male. By the looks of him, I would peg him for a retiree. That and the fact that his car always seems to be at the local golf course....

On a trip to AutoZone today, i pulled up next to a nice looking Black Aurora with chrome wheels. According to the owner, whom i saw inside, PEOPLE KEEP STEALING HIS CHROME VALVE CAPS!!!! Be on the look out!

how do you like the "premium" carbon metallic brake pads? do you notice any squealing at all, and do you notice a difference in stopping power? i want to do front brakes on my 95 soon, and i want to put on the best parts possible, including high performance vented rotors.
thanks!
Mine has chrome valve caps. No problem keeping them so far (assuming the cops don't make me remove them too). Someone did steal the logo off the Axxess' hood while it was in the driveway. The Aurora will always stay in the garage.

MILF??
Just read thru about 140 messages. Regarding the autobahn package on Aurora series 1, bypassing the speed limiter will let you hit the rev limiter in 3rd gear at maximum speed. You dont want to drive too long at that rpm. With the 3.48 ratio you'd hit a tad over 135mph at close to 6200 rpm in 3rd. 4th wont let you pass about 122mph (that's mostly the fault of the hyperglide).
With the autobahn differential, you'd hit 139 at about 4200 rpm in 4th. The 2K1 will hit 144 at 4375rpm in 4th.

There was some noise at first, but it has been rapidlly subsiding. Time permitting, I think I would have looked at some of the ferro ceramic pads by raybestos. They are supposed to stop well with very little noise.
A friend of mine also warned that the carbon based pads may cause a lot of brake dust build up on the wheels. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
How old are you guys? Forgive me for mentioning MILF, you guys seem to be older gentlemen and I am a outgoing teenager. MILF is a acronymn for an attractive mom. Don't ask me what it stands for, it's dirty.
Funny thing is, that the car we all love to drive and look at is an old person's car (it is a Caddie afterall).
Hey Kid, just because I can remember dancing to "Rappers Delight" does not make me old.

Bad Neo!
As a newbie to the aurora, I've noticed something "different". When I turn on my hi-beams, both low-beam lights go out. Normally, I'd think this was caused by both low beam lights being burned out, but since this car seems to have many "different" ways of doing things, I thought I'd ask. Is this normal for the '95 Aurora or do I need to replace my low beam bulbs?
Maxtifrog: I guess I'm an old fart. Having done the mid-life crisis thing already (bought a V8 firebird at 39 years young), I'm now settling into old age at my mid-forties. The scarry thing is that I asked my SON about MILF (and he told me). ...Ah, memories of my younger days...
I think the only reason teenagers don't drive "older people cars" is because they can't afford them. If I ask a teen in my town if you could afford a Caddy STS would you drive it and most of them reply "hell yeah!" I think as time goes on, the teens that know a lot about cars are going to start buying "older people cars".
BTW Only 2 people have driven my car while I've owned it; My girlfriend and my dad. Im thinking about letting a friend drive it but I dont know if I can make the plunge.
Does the classic rims come on any other vehicle? I swear I've seen a Grand Am with them on it. I think I've seen them on another olds too.
The autobahn pkg gears let the engine run faster and so more horsepower is developed. Drag increases with speed so max speed is where the horsepower and drag are equal. The standard gears should give better gas mileage. On a trip to California I averaged 29+ cruising 70 with a '98 and std gears.

I think I'll take my Grandma's view, old people are those at least 10 years older than her, (she's 78)
I have been looking at getting one with the WS6 package.
39 years of living and counting with 95 Aurora
Thanks.

I just saw the Voyager crew old and young tonight and Kirk Douglas acting on another show at 83 after his stroke. It's all kinda relative. But over-the-hill is apt as I've noticed the downhill acceleration in time.
"...careful with acronyms that imply profanities..." You must be joking - check out the newsgroups, this board is like day-care by comparison. Hope the Terms of Use aren't mad now
When I go to Hi-beams on my '95, the low beam lights turn off. Is this by design or do I have two low beam lights that need replacing?
If someone can let me know what their car does, I'd appreciate it...
Thanks.
Is there a way to make a signiture on edmunds?
