Hello Olds

The newest addition to my car collection is Grandma's 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S. By my quick count, this is the 14th car I've owned.

Nancy and I drove it back from Iowa, and it ran great. I think it enjoyed stretching its legs on the interstate.

Everything is in pretty good shape, just needing the normal items (new fluids, brakes, etc.). Surprisingly (or not), there's a web forum dedicated to the Cutlass Ciera and its sisters (Buick Century, Pontiac 6000, Chevy Celebrity) that has been really useful so far. And a little distracting at times...

S-H-O-W-E-R

Today was car cleaning day. Nancy and I vacuumed, washed, and waxed her car and the Neon. Scout was outside "helping" too, but soon decided she wanted to nap under the Neon. It's oily under there, so she ended up with oil in her fur. Time for her first ever B-A-T-H. Or in this case, a S-H-O-W-E-R.

Scout did really well. She squirms and makes unhappy noises when I trim her claws, but through the whole process of having a shower, she didn't claw, bite, hiss, or growl.
