My 199 Oldsmobile Delta 88 LS on its way to the scrapyard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

279,091! \u00a0That’s how many miles were on my 1999\u00a0Oldsmobile\u00a0Delta 88 LS when it finally breathed its last.<\/p>\n

I bought the car for only $2500.00 back in 2005. \u00a0It had 91,500 miles on it. \u00a0So, I put on \u00a0187,591 miles.<\/p>\n

I guess you can say that this car was a great deal. \u00a0It cost me next to nothing and ran like a top. \u00a0I did routine maintenance and put a little bit of money into it for repairs. \u00a0The car just kept going. \u00a0I was hoping to hit the 300,000 mile mark, but that wasn’t meant to be.<\/p>\n

Now, it’s off to the scrap yard.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the Oldsmobile division of GM is no more. \u00a0So, new\u00a0Oldsmobiles\u00a0don’t exist. \u00a0If I want another one, instead of new, I’ll have to hunt\u00a0around\u00a0for a used Olds.<\/p>\n

But, if most Oldsmobile owners are like me, they’re probably not selling. \u00a0Why give up\u00a0dependable\u00a0transportation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
