I have always been a fan of the 442, great looking car you had there!

Did you have a bocephus sticker on it, or light up the tires just for fun?

I can’t tell you the disappointment that filled me when I was young and learned that the Olds 442 didn’t have a 442 ci engine.

I wish those cars were as easy to come by as they were 25 years ago. You could get a lot of car for a few grand back then. Lot of overpriced plastic junk today.

Was Josh Hartnett's character in The Faculty modeled after you? Spot on

That is an ass-kickin’ 442.

I slid through a stop sign in one with the tires locked up. Flat spotted them. Great ride as a passenger.

1998 me would have found 1998 you and your 1972 Olds well-nigh irresistible; this aesthetic was exactly my jam. By any chance did you drink cheap scotch and smoke filterless Marlboro Reds? Or read Bukowski and Hunter Thompson and listen to Joy Division and Aztec Camera incessantly? Because if so - RAWR

One of the last of the old Detroit big blocks. Man, I can literally hear the ‘cachunk’ idle in my head.

I had a 92 Anniversary Edition Cougar, with the 5.0 but it wasn't the HO. It was like a strip model Lincoln Mark 8 with Mercury badging, it was pretty ragged out when I got it. But new it was probably something to behold.
