No stick up my ass big guy. The "rebadged Opel" nonsense is ludicrous. Where do you get your info from? The dealer? How many parts do they share? The fact that you consider an Oldsmobile "Saab-like" tells me that you deserve your "father's oldsmobile." At least you admit to being a dork. You're more perceptive than I gave you credit for. So what is it you drive now? An 88? Cutlass. ?? Duane
