Happy Oldsmobiling.
Thanks
Started with a light machine polish to get those nasty scratches from the snow brush out, then followed up with wax. Finally, I can say that I got enough wax on the car and in a uniform amount, too! The SilverMist really stands out now - just hope I don't attract the attention of any local car thieves!
If you're in the market, check out Griot's Garage at http://www.griotsgarage.com for all your cleaning needs. They've got stuff you don't know you need until you see it!
This weekend I'll tackle the wife's '03 Aspen Green Pearl Camry. That is a nice color when waxed and polished out.
Any idea when Olds dropped SilverMist? I know it was in the 99 brochure, but that may have been the last year.

We really wanted the Autumn Bronze, but this was the only car on the lot with the spoiler that I wanted. There was a '99 in Bronze with tan leather and sunroof, but no spoiler. Wife reminds me from time to time about that one!
While the sun is still out and the angle really accentuates the coloring, I should shoot some pics. How do you post pictures here?

Somewhere around '00 there was a special "Sterling" limited edition car. This color then became the standard silver.
Re: Autumn Mist.
Did you mean bronze mist?
This was the color of my '99 Intrigue.
This color first became availalbe on the '99s but was not available until a couple of months after production started.
I dont wanna get burned out at the dealer.
2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
i am at 39,000 km and will do an oil change and tire rotation this weekend.
205-70 r 15? or 14?
(narrower, taller and smaller)

I got both rotors for $35 at a local wrecking yard off of an '01 Monte Carlo. They are like new with no wear. The Monte had rolled and was totaled. I went to Car-part.com and bought the calipers with brackets for $38 including shipping. They bolt on to the Intrigue spindle perfectly. Even the flex line fit the Camaro caliper like it was designed for it. Grand total= $116. Change out time was less than 1 hour. Very easy. Then bled the new calipers and its done. Now, the car seems to stop with less effort. I also like the looks of the rotors with the wheels. Less gap, plus the Camaro caliper is very nice looking. I have not heard of any one doing this upgrade, but it does work, and its all GM parts.
Well I decided to rotate the tires on the 00 Intrigue (first time I have on this car). I used a floor Jack that I have used dozens of times. I position the FJ just to the back of the frt wheel. Well the metal bent as the jack pushed the car up (at all four locations)! Its the metal piece that the truck jack uses. This never happened on my other car (98 GP).
First question; Are there any good points/location that I should use instead of the jack points by the tires? As well as jack stands.
Now that that metal is bent, will the Trunk Jack still work? I assume it will.
Thanks

The components of the Passlock™ System are as follows:
The ignition lock cylinder and key
The ignition lock cylinder case, including the Passlock™ Sensor
The ignition switch
The body control module (BCM)
The security indicator on the instrument cluster
The powertrain control module (PCM)
Ignition Lock Cylinder Case, Including the Passlock™ Sensor
The ignition lock cylinder fits inside the ignition lock cylinder case and operates the ignition switch when turned by a key with the proper mechanical cut. When the ignition key is used to turn the ignition lock cylinder to crank, start, a magnet on the lock cylinder passes close to the Passlock™ Sensor within the ignition lock cylinder case. The magnet activates the Security Hall Effect Sensor in the Passlock™ Sensor which completes a circuit from the security sensor signal circuit through a resistor to the security sensor low reference circuit. The resistance value will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
If a magnet from outside of the ignition lock cylinder case is used to attempt to steal the vehicle, the Tamper Hall Effect Sensor will be activated. This completes a circuit from the security sensor signal circuit through a tamper resistor to the security sensor low reference circuit bypassing the security resistor. If the ignition switch is forced to rotate without the correct key, or if the ignition lock cylinder is removed by force, the Passlock™ Sensor will be damaged and will not operate.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch contains the wiring and electrical switching portion of the column mounted ignition assembly. The ignition switch includes wiring pigtails which connect it to the base of column connector, the Passlock™ Sensor on the ignition lock cylinder case, and other components. The wiring for the Passlock™ Sensor is unaffected by ignition switch position. The electrical switch portion is operated by the key and lock cylinder when they are rotated within the ignition lock cylinder case. The ignition switch operates the crank relay regardless of the status of the Passlock™ System.
a lot of technical data about PCM BCM data transfer
Changing the Passlock™ Components
The following components contain codes or passwords, or must learn codes or passwords for the Passlock™ system to allow the vehicle to start:
The ignition lock cylinder case
BCM
The powertrain control module (PCM)
If any of these parts are replaced, a learn procedure must be performed. Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components . If parts are replaced and a learn procedure is not performed, the engine will crank and will not run or will start and stall immediately.

You'll may never encounter a situation in which this swap causes a problem but as a brake engineer, these kinds of amateur upgrades always make me nervous.
cheers
Body Control Module (BCM)
The BCM contains the logic of the theft deterrent system. The BCM provides the battery positive voltage to operate the Passlock™ Sensor. The BCM also measures the voltage of the security sensor signal circuit. The voltage measured will indicate whether the Passlock™ Sensor has been activated and whether the resistance value from the sensor is a valid value or the tamper value. If voltage measured is in the valid range, the BCM compares this voltage, voltage code, to a previously learned voltage code. If the voltage codes match, the BCM sends a class 2 message containing a password to the PCM. If the voltage codes do not match, or the voltage is in the Tamper range, or there is a circuit fault, the BCM will not send the correct password to the PCM, and the vehicle will not start.
Powertrain Control Module
The powertrain control module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the BCM, the PCM will continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until it decides there is no valid password coming from the BCM. If the PCM does not receive a class 2 message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will not run or will start and stall immediately.
Theft System Indicator
The IPC illuminates the theft deterrent indicator as determined by the theft deterrent system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.
The vehicle theft deterrent (VTD) system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is ON.
The content theft deterrent (CTD) system requests the IPC to illuminate the indicator only when the ignition switch is in the OFF or ACC positions or during RAP.
The body control module performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
Fuel Lockout Cycle
When it receives a password which is incorrect or a password which indicates tamper and the PCM disables the fuel injectors, the fuel injectors remain disabled for 10 minutes even if the ignition switch is turned from the RUN position to the OFF position.
Changing the Passlock™ Components
Though it took my guy a long time to do it as he had to remove the back panel; not difficult but takes time.
No, I work for one of the largest brake suppliers and we supply all the major manufacturers plus the hydraulic brake truck industry. Since the brake system is designed to perform under worst case conditions, I doubt that anything you've done would degrade performance in a way that you would notice.
Regarding stopping distance being improved, I doubt it. You could lock the wheels with the stock brake system so unless you put on stickier rubber, there's no way you could improve stopping distance. You may be experiencing greater decel at the same pedal effort because you've increased the gain.
Unless your car is running rough or your check engine light has come on, there's probably no need to do anything beyond what the owner's manual recommends.
1999 Olds Intrigue GLS
23500 miles (checked Csrfax...usage was 3-6K per year)
No sale green, tan leather guts
No slider
CD/Cassette + 12 disc changer in trunk
Trunk...brings me to a bad point. I smelled a horrible mildew smell. After test drive (man those things drive well), I pulled up the cover over the spare tire and there were puddles of water. Tire changing instructions look like they were wet at one time or another, too.
They are asking $12
I'm thinking waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy less....$8,5 or so.
What say you, oh wise ones?
Car is in Columbia, SC.
Turboshadow
Mildew is almost impossible to get out of a car.
I'd steer clear of the car no matter how low the mileage.
Wonder what my 98 with 37500 on it would bring if this one is $12K?
