I really enjoy the Olds mail list server group because of the high quality of postings, and how polite we tend to be with one another. The humor from the list, dry one liners, experiences, jokes you can see a mile away, have really brightened my day! We're even polite (sometimes) in regard to that lesser, though more popular, brand.

This FAQ favors Olds' from around the muscle car era, and ignores a bunch of 70's to 90's 4 & 6 cylinder and corporate me-too models. This has resulted from the absense of mail list server postings about these cars.

Thanks to everyone who have made this FAQ possible. Initially I just tossed everything together, and as a result lost a lot of contributor information. I then started to give people credit for posting information. I plan to keep doing this until it turns into a maintenance nightmare. Please let me know if I have included something you posted and your name is not listed. Overall, let's just say that the FAQ is ours. Not mine, but yours, deal?

The people contributing to the mail list server are the knowledge base. I have also contributed certain information, but have decided to leave my name off. My apologies for leaving anyone off this list - I'm sure there are some - there are a few anonymous contributors. Please e-mail me with the appropriate addition!

Remember, this is a member driven project. The more input and information recieved from members, the better the FAQ will become.

Please mail any changes, comments, complaints and/or disagreements to David Brown, and I will respond to you.

And now a little something for the spammers: Permission to use the following e-mail addresses for unsolicited business e-mail is withdrawn as of Sept. 2, 1998. Unsolicited business mail will be proof read, and a $200.00 US charge invoiced to the sender.

The following people have contributed information found in this FAQ, and have made putting it together rather easy.
