Well that's it. As of today, I am Astroless.
Our 95 got traded today for a 1998 Olds 98 LS. I took a new job recently which requires a 65 mile commute. The Astro and the pickup were going to kill me on gas $$$.
Hoping for 30mpg with the Oldsmobile.
On a side note... Why does "Astro" show as being misspelled in the editor here? Of all the places that should be in the dictionary...

Re: Astroless
Tiss a sad day my friend, but all good Astro's eventually must be put out to pasture. How many miles did you have on the 95, was that the original tranny?NotDadsW41 wrote:Well that's it. As of today, I am Astroless.

Re: Astroless
234K and yes original tranny.
Here's the kicker on that.... We bought it with 98K.
I never changed the fluid/filter in that sucker. I expected it to die shortly after we bought and I had plans for a stronger unit to replace it... But it just kept going and going....

Re: Astroless
It is actually your browser dictionary. Right click and add Astro to your dictionary and all should be good.NotDadsW41 wrote:On a side note... Why does "Astro" show as being misspelled in the editor here? Of all the places that should be in the dictionary...
