Why hello there.
Hello GM Forum,
My name is Ryan and I'm a hardcore Mopar/Dodge nut with a particular weakness for the 1996-1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight and LSS.
My 1999 Olds Eighty Eight LS is my winter warrior, and with 174k miles on the body and tranny (its on its second 3800) it has served me quite well.
Recently, the car was hit and was ruled totaled yesterday.
I'm continuing to drive it, but I don't think it is long for this world, as its finally getting to the point where paying to have it fixed wouldn't be worth it.
My insurance company has agreed to give me a pretty nice sum for it, so I'm in the market for another one, which brought me to your wonderful forum.
You won't see me around as the most active member ever, but I still wanted to say hello.

Ah-ha, forgot to post where I live!
Central MA, right near Worcester, but I'm willing to drive/fly/walk to anywhere to get the right car.

Haha, well, I've got a lot, people always give me crap for how large my fleet is...
Here we go, in order of age:
1969 Dodge Coronet 440 - original 318 powered, just bought it in September, my dream car:
1974 Dodge Dart Swinger - original 318 powered, Father/Son Resto project with my dad, almost ready for original Mopar F6 green paint:
1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight LS - The Olds - This was right when I first got it, when I had a set of Chrysler 300M alloys on it. Now its got a set of LSS wheels instead:
2001 Dodge Intrepid SE - I paid $300 for this car, the kid thought the 2.7L V6 was blown, just needed a new harmonic balancer:
2002 Dodge Intrepid ES - My first car, bought it when I was 16, Original 3.5 upgraded to a 300M Special High Output motor, TONS of mods, including the Dodge Magnum SRT8 20s:
Well, there you have it, my fleet.
I told you I was a little Mopar crazy...
