Grandpa Car: 1979 Cutlass Thread

[1evilregal]

still one of my favorite cars on here, between you and Donovan, I'm actually stopping to look at some of the 78-80 cutlasses when I browse the local ads...

hope you don't mind, but just made this pic my background... saved it as:" middle of paradise"

Yup.











I know I've said it a couple times before but, I fully endorse a hot outside water source. It was 37* outside and it really made washing it bearable. Helps loosen up the bugs and grime too. If you've got new construction planned or even if you have a water heater in or near the garage, I recommend looking into it.

The tacos, car and scenery look awesome. A hot water hose bib is a great idea! Thanks for that!

Yoinked off CL for $20 and added to the pile. 75 mile Cutlass drive to pick the up. Seller appeared to be a Ford guy and these were the only Olds parts he had. Odd, but worked out for me.

I was starting to believe you were dead.

No, just been busy with all this unity and freedom.

Yes...but no.

Yes...but no.

Food, car, scenery....all look awesome!

One more 50 mile taco run then topped off with some corn-free and tucked away for the winter. Oil change sticker shows just over 1100 miles in the last two years. Shameful.

You know the so called experts say you MUST change your oil every year regardless of mileage? All that acidic condensate will eat your bearings alive! Personally I’ve never seen proof or the effects of this. 🤪
