How can I join the OCA? Or better yet... is it really worth joining the OCA?
(This of course is for the Cutlass).
BTW pencil me in. I wanna do some engine repairs to the Cutlass to take that up there, but if not, then I'll just take the GA and roll with Sleepy. LOL

My friends wife is wondering who all is bringing their female counterpart...My friend that came with me last year got his wife an alero and she is unsure about coming or not, because she thinks she might be out of place...They are planning on coming unless he gets the internship he applied for and it doesn't allow for him to go...I don't know if they are sure about bringing their alero or riding with me though it depends on how much money they can get together

As stated in the first post, THIS IS THE LAST ASS!!!
There will be no more ASS shows. You are welcome to go to the hotel and Homecoming next year, but you'll be at the hotel all alone and one of the few Aleros at the Homecoming show (if you can find them with the way the show is lined up now :rolleyes2: )
So if you are that guy that says "WOW looks like you had fun!! I'll def be there next year" It's not going to happen. No maybes about it, this is IT!!
Redog
03-03-2013, 01:52 AM
And yes, Mr Adam and I will be there. Hopefully his Oldsmobile block shirt and hot rodding 82 Cutlass shirt still fit. He'll have fun on the car ride out, with his DVD player in the back seat :D
My record time was made last year, coming home (first time for that) and it was 10 hours and 43 minutes. However, coming home this year, I might stop at Summit Racing in Ohio :D

I haven't been around here in forever. But talking to Scott, I'm in for the last ASS! I'll probably bring the 240sx. So anybody who uses the excuse your Alero isnt up to par can stop that now.

Well then, there's really no point of me registering is there? I mean I can't show a Pontiac at an Olds show, and I probably wouldn't be able to show the Cutlass at Homecoming(not that it's even in show condition as of now)... or would I?
Cuz at this stage, I can easily get either car ready, I just know a Pontiac in an Alero show is a no go... unless we get enough people with Grand Am's to have a side show (not how Oakland does it though)
sleepyalero
03-08-2013, 03:32 AM
you CAN show your olds cutlass no matter the shape. they accept anything olds in the homecoming show and ONLY olds, but yes your ga would be excluded from the alero show.
if you travel through indy on your trip you me, fisdad, and manwhore could meet up and trail the rest of the way. Milzy might also be joining me in the trip up. hes 50/50 atm. just depends. and if he does go it might not be the full event. but still be neat to have him go, hes a great guy. ive been keeping contact with him over phone/email from time to time about it and hes been keeping me up to date on new parts coming out. also been discussing a turbo build. but thats besides the point ;)

dude, i registered a nissan 240sx. Its not about winning, its just about supporting. You arent paying $40 because you want to win a trophy. Just do it, hell you spend more than $40 on a tank of gas. Dont be cheap

LOL well I know that, I just don't want to be the butt of any jokes lol. I don't want to be remembered as "That asshole with a faded trunk and screws in his dash to fix the warpage" lol I was gonna stop by Youngstown Ohio to pick up a friend, but yeah I guess we can caravan on the way back.

It's not about being cheap, like i said above your quote, I wouldn't want my car to be the butt of someone's jokes lol.
But Ima get the Cutty ready, that's what Ima do.

03-08-2013, 06:05 PM
^^ Yeah bring the Cutlass.
I've been looking at used cars and I'm debating if I want to buy something really used like from the late 90's or newer like a Kia Sorento V6 with a 5 speed manual. That body style Cutlass is showing up a lot, and IDK how I feel about that. The newer ones they put a 4 banger in. FAIL, 5000 lb SUV with a 4 cyl engine, really :eek:
That on hinges on if I can afford a 2014 GMC Sierra Extended cab or not

Add one more person to that list! I took my hood off and put it back on on myself (replacing fenders on my GA).
The trick is to grab it from the bumper to the windshield, not fender to fender. Also, you want to use the prop rod to your advantage. If your Alero has the gas shocks, then make a provisional prop rod.
Don't make excuses not to do things... I don't have many good friends, so all car work is done solo. It takes time, but it can get done...

idea for the convoy (if there's going to be one): Aleros lead, followed by (in order): other Oldsmobiles, Other Domestics, Domestic-built foreign brands, then imports.
tip: if you have a hyundai or toyota, or any other foreign brand, if the VIN starts with a 1 or a 2, it was built domestically, J means it was built in Japan. Not sure of other letters/numbers though. I'm sure there's others here that know more. :)

Hey guys, Haven't been on in a while. Busy with work and other stuff.
Unfortunately I will not be able to make it this year. I've been given a lot more responsibility at work, but I'm not complaining since it means more money, and its helping my career.
I haven't even modded the ho since ASS last year. I've barely washed it tbh. If I can make a little time that Saturday, I will try and make it.
I wish everyone a great time and be safe!

he put in before the other person that put in and he has worked there longer than the other person who put in, so if anyone gets off it should be him...his bosses have just been ignoring the request, however that doesn't address the expense thing, so unless his wife manages to get off as well even though she has basically been told more, if he can get off he is prolly just riding with me again this year

It wasn't near DC. I had parked it in Virginia at the end of train line and then some, and I didn't want to leave the Cutlass parked on the street in DC because they would ticket my car. I don't have DC plates on it so I can't get a zoning permit. Basically I was in a fucked up position. I'm mad about the whole ordeal but even if I could go, I just dropped $600 in the Cutlass, so I'm broke for the next month. I just got the Cutlass running tonight though, and it's in tiptop shape, but I wouldn't even make it for the Olds Homecoming. Fk my life right now...

It would be one hell of a drive though. I really contemplated going JUST for the homecoming show. Now that I cancelled my room, I would have $100 or so, but it would take me 4 tankfuls to go and back... so if someone is willing to donate.... I don't see this blitz going down.

Well I didn't know that my Cutlass would decide to sht on me the last week. I had everything ready, but all of a sudden, the Cutlass decided to blow out its alternator and its starter. Long story short I dropped all the ASS money on getting it to drive again, and the other car was far away from my house. I'm not going to divulge on my living situation and my cars because I already stated it but don't read one post and assume you know everything because if you think this was last minute preparation then you thought wrong.
Plan a trip for months and then have your car blow out major components in hard to reach areas at the last minute and then tell me if you wouldn't be in the same position What a lot of people dont realize is that I don't have a 3400 in that Cutlass, I have a 3.4 LQ1 which is a bitch to work on so there goes the "you could have done it yourself" sht out the window because in order to do that alternator, the trans axle had to come out. It's a 3 to 4 hour job and it requires more than just your run of the mill Sears tools.
This isn't even about me being cheap because I already had the hotel. IF you knew how much I blew on that car to have it drive again, then you would know it is what it is...
