You think thats bad Don, spending all that time working on your Bonneville, i know how you feel, heck last month I even started my Bonneville to let it warm up on its one month aniversery of being parked!
I wish i had a garage to use at this time, since its like -10F outside, then i could say a bit more

It was my sophomore year in high school and one of my friends got a 92 SSEi. It was white and had 185k but was mint! He had an intake and a Flowmaster 80 series with no cat or resonator & I loved it! We skipped out on class once and did a huge burnout in the school parking lot (which left rubber there till the time I graduated.) But that’* when it all started for Bonnes.

I blew a head gasket in my Celebrity and didn’t want to put anymore money into that car. I wanted to find a car with a 3800 and never dreamed I would find a Bonne I could afford with a L67 like I dreamed. But luckily I did & now I make more then enough money to mod it like I never thought possible. 2 ½ years, 3 motors and 2 transmissions later; who would have thought I’d still be loving it?!

hay at least you got your car for the week

I started my Bonneville addiction a couple years ago when I was riding my Aunts 92' SSEi. Then when it came to get my own car. I bought that SSEi from her for $2500. I loved it ever since. All the options, luxury, POWER, Damn good lookin for a 15 year old car. Wrecked it in Oct. 06 :'( Bought an old '90 Buick regal Coupe from... My aunt for $800 and it was a nice beater. 3800 motor Not supercharged though :(. Then guess what? My aunt had another Bonneville for sale this time the green 93 SSEi I have now. $1500 plus the buick regal which I know now was a ripoff since this bonne was so problematic.But I love it still. (and now have some knowhow to fix it mostly.)

And with the Cosmetic and Mech. issues I will be taking out a loan from the bank when I turn 18 and fix her all up.

Then watch out Wren When summer comes

This is how it all started. My mom was driving a 92 ssei since I was like 9 years old. Then when I turned 16 and got my license she gave it to me and she bought a 99 ssei. I loved my 92 it was my first car and we had so many memories in that thing. Then one time comin back from up north me and my buddy.... well long story short the engine blew. Then a week later on christmas eve my mom totataled the 99 and niether of us had a car. She used her insurance money and bought a 2000 se. My dad owns a car repair bussiness and we were able to buy the 99 back for 500 bucks. Then me and my friends rebuilt it and we have been blowing away hondas ever since. (still working on getting it painted, but this is how I got my 500 dollar ssei, pretty good for being 17 huh?)

Well, having any car is better than not having one, but I need boost

When my son was born, my wife and I decided the 96 Stepside K1500 standard cab. I loved my truck and really didn't want to part with it. It was a black and gray truck with a 305 5spd manual 4X4 with a Gibson Catback exhaust.

We went car shopping and bought my first 95 SE, green and tan with few options. I had the car for 6 months and got into an accident that totaled it. We spent about another 6 months with just the wife'* 99 Jimmy when we decided to get another car. I was ok with getting another Bonneville based on how well the first one held up in the accident and, honestly, how awesome and supportive the folks were here on the BC. We test drove a few different cars including a Crown Vic and a GP. I even found a white 96 SSEi that was a little overpriced but had been on the dealer'* lot for a long time. It basically came down to the 96 SSEi and my second 95 SE. I made a deal with the dealer to take the car with the busted tail lights, broken windshield and busted fog lights as is. As much as I liked the Ei I was concerned with the emission laws requiring anything 96 and newer to be scanned. This combined with the fact that the SE was a grand cheaper and in a little better condition made me go with the 95. I really got hooked on Bonnevilles with that one.

I owned the car for two years when I came across my 01 SSEi in March on this year. I was shopping for an upgrade and I had my mind set on a L67 powered Pontiac. I test drove two or three GTP'* and the Bonneville. The sales guy was new and we haggled over the price a little. We decided on a price and then I asked him "Ok, now how about my trade in...." (the 95 SE) He said "Oh, you've got a trade in? I guess I should have asked about that before we set the price..." So, off came another grand from the price. This put us at the low ball offer I started with....

With this being my first SSEi ever owned, I loved the boosted 3800 so much I named the car L67 Heaven.... No, I'm not addicted.... much.....

well im more into the 3800 thing also this is my 5th 3800 i started whit 89 lesabre .i was a small block chevy fan before and at 52 i was sure modding was finish for me .i was just at the track last year to see if my serie2 was faster than my L27 regal but there tj was running mid 15 and he told me about the BC well you know what happen .i never did drive a boosted 3800 yet but im looking at them often

Be warned, it'* highly contagious and won't let go until you have your own.
Then, you'll just have the need to make it faster.
