...and now for the Pictures:















I have to say, I absolutely love the wheels, much more than the optional chrome ones actually. I also love the fact that the trunk and rear of the car look so small, while the trunk is actually HUGE! I am really considering getting a slight tint to the windows. Nothing severe, just a slight tint, and perhaps ugrading the DRLs. I do have this strange noise coming from the back whenever I go over small tiny potholes in the road, it sounds slightly metallic, but other than that, with all of the problems fixed, this car is am amazing value, and great fun to drive and easily the best looking G-Body GM ever made.

The hood logo is upside-down.

Yes! How did you know? Are you stalking me? Lol. It's at the CW Post Campus, of LIU, which is where I go to school (Last Year!!).

Xeper (and whomever else is interested), here are some of the original pics (parked behind my Tahoe), including interior shots. The interior just got super dirty due to all the dirt, so I wouldn't take pictures of it just yet.

Yup, Northern Blvd! You should have told me, Im here all the time!

Hey great shots! She is a beauty.

I've toyed with the idea of buying an nice inexpensive near luxury 4 door and the Aurora always comes to the top of the list. I love that car.

My wife and some friends went to Post. Very nice campus.

Weird thing about the hood emblem. I wonder if the hood was damaged and repaired?

[Buick61]

That's what CW Post looks like? Why is it so deserted?

lol @ the badge.


Nice car. I remember liking that generation when I was in college.

Nice car Tahoe. My Ma had a 2001 with the 3.5, same color, before the Accord. She ADORED that car. She still talks about how much she loved it and misses it, even with it being quite a bit problematic for her, which is why she got the Accord. We really did enjoy the car a lot, though. It was the car I started to drive in. Felt like I could drive anything after mastering that beast, haha.

Yeah, I know...I should have... Small world indeed!

It's a beautiful campus, several of my cousins children went there...

One of the last legendary greats built by Olds. Looks good.

Well, the campus is pretty large, but the pics were taken at 7am at the end of August on a College campus. Im pretty sure you can put 2 and 2 together.

Hey, TaHoE, sorry to revive this thread, but I wanted to compliment you on the Olds, its a very nice car.


Also LIU is quite a nice campus. I just started high school this year though. lol
