Default How Long Has everyone owned their Bonneville

I was just wondering how long has everyone owned their Bonny'* that you own now, and how many miles have you drove on them. Me personnaly have owned my 96 Bonny for like a month or 2, and the car had 107,000 miles on it, and now it has 110,400 miles on it. Whew the miles are just raking on it.

Got to drive it in July 2001. The new engine only had about 5000 miles on it. I have to look at some paperwork to see the true milage on everything. The car says I have about 165K.

I've had mine for a little over a year now. Bought it with 100500 miles and the plastic plenum cracked. The previous owner thought the head gaskets were out, but I knew better! Now I'm at 143,000 miles. In the future I plan on buying a 96-99 SSEi and keep the tradition rolling!

I got my 93 SSE two years ago with 169k on it, and sold it last week with 180k. Had the 2000 SSEi since mid December with 17600 on it and now its just under 20k.
