nismo_gismo's 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette


so this is my mode of transportation at the moment. i needed to get accross the country from upstate NY for school and i didnt really think my litte S12 Nissan would make it in Phoenix for more than a week without being stolen, so i killed 3 birds with one stone by getting this van. i have a reliable car to get to school, and work and back. i didnt need to rent a u-haul and car dollie to move, and its somewhat low profile, so i dont think anybody will want to steal it. its been a year and nobody has messed with it *knock on wood*

it was pretty bland when i got it. actually it was pretty boring.
i threw on some 20" Lexani's for a little bit, but i got rid of them, i figured they're too high profile and i cant afford to have anything stolen. so i went back to stock rims with a classic touch of whitewall.

under the hood was alright, a somewhat potent V6, but i wanted more, so i got a performance chip off of ebay and it actually gave it a noticable kick, im guessing about 20-30 more ft./lbs of torque and abput 20 horsepower. wich is all i need to kick ass from light to light, nobody sees it coming from an Olds minivan

it came with a factory alarm and remote power sliding door. side impact airbags, overhead console/info center, intigrated antenna,TCS (with a switch), and other normal goodies. added an alarm with remote start, replaced the Delco speakers with a set of Pioneer speakers and 2 8" subs in the back.

This van has been in the family since 2001, and is expected to hit 200k within the next week (11/3/07) this is a pretty nice van all and all, but if it werent so well known back home, it wouldnt have such sentimental value. my friends and i have a lot of memories and sories of a lot of insane nights with this van.
...and many nicknames. mistery machine, green goblin, shag wagon, party wagon, Pimpmobile Silohuette, game killer, smoke box, the hotel... the list goes on. andway, this is my van
