Welcome! I'm also Chris, and from Toronto, but that was when the dinosaurs roamed the planet. Passed through Trenton driving back and forth from our then-home in Ottawa, many times in the early '80s, driving the near-twin to the Cutlass I have, now. Love the last of the full-size GM RWD cars, too - my late father had a bunch of them over the years. You've picked a couple of winners to start off with! Easy to work on, parts are relatively cheap, and there are lots of fellow travelers to help with advice, and experience.
Hi! Sounds like good times you had there for sure. And Cutlass? Very nice. Those and the Delta 88's are my favorite Olds vehicles.

And thank you, I figured those were two household names in the RWD, 80's cars and I wanted to stand out a bit hah.

Plenty of space in the engine bay to do my work, and I agree parts are cheap, dime a dozen! I'm very happy to hear this community, is willing to share their thoughts, and knowledge with me, as I journey into the world of the G Body. Cheers man.

Kennedy Rd and Williams Dragway (yes, Dragway) here. For 30 years I lived within a few blocks of that intersection.

Williams is kinda like that. Kennedy to Centre and Grenoble to Torbram heading west seem to have a bit of rubber put down on the asphalt. It runs right by my backyard

The cool part was it had a clear view and it was divided. So you'd cruise it once to check for the man, loop around and well... the rest is between me and my attorney.

Hi
I have too many old magazines and I started recycling some of them and cutting out any G body road tests or other interesting articles. I don't know if there is any copyright issues but here is one on a Bonneville Model G. I didn't know you could get a V6 4bbl in them. Sounds "neck snapping".
