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

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.

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

Let's just hope it's not wrapped around a telephone pole.

You're absolutely right.. Was a little tipsy and half awake after a 12 hour night shift!

Do you still own that car?

JSimmons6703 OP t1_j2ee3b3 wrote

Unfortunately no, ended up selling it and buying a 95 Thunderbird with the 5.0

If you had a 95 then you had a 4.6L. Unless the 5.0 was swapped. 1993 was the last year of the tbird with a 5.0

JSimmons6703 OP t1_j2ejbn8 wrote

Must have been 93 or older then.. I remember it had the 5.0 in it

I love those cars. I had a 94, 95, 96 with the 4.6L. Also got a 92 3.8L for my sister's first car.

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.

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 was even more disappointed when I found out the newer ones weren’t all 4 barrel carburetor, 4 speed and dual exhaust

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

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

Looks more of the clove cigarette, and drinking coffee refills st 2am at Denny's

That was my jam also! Bonus points if they wrote poetry or made pen-and-ink or charcoal drawings; extra bonus points if they only used fountain pens and idolized Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan

Definitely look like a small town drug dealer. In a good way I mean.

JSimmons6703 OP t1_j2eei65 wrote

I was never the dealer! But I was a regular customer!

Everyone loves their dealer.

Until you find out theyre dealing to your ex and giving discount prices if she lets him suck her toes. Thats where you draw the line.

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.
