My new car:

I have just made an agreement with the owner to buy it, and will most likely take leave, to pick it up, the first weekend of February.

Oh my Fred. What have you gotten yourself into?

Congrats on the B.A.D.a$$ Q!

Post by **DAEDALUS** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Holy crap! Fred, you dog! Is there no end to your modded Q appetite? I love it man, that is a way SWEET ending to your recent misfortunes. Sounds like you found your best Q yet.

Post by **Tino** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

my gawd, a little overboard don't you think, I know i'd kill myself in that thing, looks expensive also.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Congrats, Fred. I had been hoping it'd work out.

Call me ASAP - I need a favor of you.

What year it is? Looks like a grilled version?

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Awesome Fred! That is the one I wanted you to get. I can't wait to see it!

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Yep - Fred's finally seen the light, and has secured a beautiful (and fast) '94.

You know, he always HAS been incredibly jealous of those of us with "grilled Q's".

I suspect this was all an ingenious and cleverly executed ploy to obtain his heart's true desire. Nothing can stand in the way of true love... Enjoy, buddy!!!!

And I am gonna have some freakin fun going down with Fred to pick it up. It should be a blast and we should be taking soooo many pics.

Hey fred, anymore pics of the car on the forums, I couldn't find anymore?

Post by **Jberger** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Awsome, way to go Fred!

Post by **theTony** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Oh yeah take lots of pictures! What a great trip!! I have a feeling though Rubin that he will be more excited going to pick up a Q than he was picking up an 85 Volvo! :pface

No way, I can just imagine the look on his face when he bought the ol volvo.

Bigtime Congrats - makin' us all jealous with those 1/4 mile times. Where in Fla is the car located ?

AZhitman - finally got to see pictures of your Q - nice...

Post by **maxnix** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Wise choice, my good man.

Now you, like George Foreman before, will discover that grilles are good. Part of the stealth cloaking. Everyone thinks you are driving a slow Jaguar or a new model of Lincoln.

All i can do is drool!

Does it come with a full nitrous bottle?:ylsuper

Post by **miteymax86** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

I'm planning on stealing your car, what else can I say?

Post by **Chally** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Oh Fred... Oh Fred... Oh Fred..., what Can I say mate? Congrats & happy speeding, draging, wheel standing, whatever...

Only advice, keep it off solid water

Post by **Q451990** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 2:36 pm

Congratulations! Your return trip needs to include Columbia SC and a test drive... or better yet a trip through Savannah GA and a spin or two around the abandoned Indy track!

Well have fun with your ride! The car looks like the best way develop a laughing gas addiction outside of a root canal!

Congrats on the new car. I made the mistake of buying an Olds Aurora from my dad at a very good price (the main reason I did it) after my 93 was totaled in an accident. I couldn' t find any good Q45s locally, and I needed a car ASAP. I felt like I was in purgatory until I finally got rid of it and bought my 95. That car was a rolling example of why GM is in serious trouble. It felt like driving a barge compared to a Q45 even though they are similar in size/weight. In 18 months of ownership, the fuel pressure regulator, alternator, A/C, sunroof, rear window defogger, wheel bearing, turn signals and other things I'm thankfully forgetting broke. Thankfully I fixed just about everything myself, or I'd probably still be paying off the repairs. The Aurora forum on Edmunds is a textbook example of denial. "Our cars are constantly broken, but they're really better than the Japanese competition" "The magazines are just biased against American cars." etc. The woman at the insurance company couldn't understand why I wasn't excited about the prospect of having it totalled and getting to buy a new car. If you can get them, and the interior color is the same, grab the front seats out of your old car. The front seats in the 94+ cars aren't nearly as nice.

My new car.
