After 2 years..I'm BACK!
Well life happened and somehow I disappeared from here way back on Septemeber 8th 2011 which says my last visit was. I had been on here for several years, back when this was just a bonneville forum before it became the gmforum it is now. I bought a house, started a new field of work, had a baby girl..life happened lol
Anyways here I am back again and for good reason. I am selling my GTO (see: had baby girl above) because I need a 4 door car and I am getting my old Bonneville back!
to jog your memory here is my old bonneville that some of you might recognize
and of course I sold it to my sister after I bought my GTO back in May 2011
This is how she sits now:
So since I last visited a lot has been done to the GTO..some appearance stuff and performance stuff including a new motor built for it this spring. I hate to sell it but with my work commute now and having a baby the GTO has become impractical for my uses so it'* time to get practical for a while. I also have some debt I'd like to pay off with the extra money from selling this car and going back to my less expensive old car.
So I am back! and it looks like this site has grown A LOT since I was last here. I'm excited to get back into the swing of things on this site, and to re-mod my bonneville since I de-modded it when I sold it to her (untinted lights, removed halos, LED License plate cover, FWI etc..) It returns to Florida in November as the plan looks right now..hopefully have my car sold be then.

Wow, it has been a long time Nick. Like you said, life changes and you have to roll with it. Grab some beer and pull up a chair, you got some catching up to do.

Way ahead of you! I'll try to help out with what I can..I have PM'* dating back a few years ago with questions on things I had done or fixed on my bonne(sunroof leak, FWI, Lights etc..) lol so now that I am back here I will keep my eye out for those in need.

Good, we sure could use the help around here. Some of us old farts can't keep up with the new technology LOL.

Believe it or not it actually fit in my gto pretty good.. Front passenger seat had to be moved up a ways but it was not easy getting her in and out every time. Plus I commute 400 miles a week now so going back to the Bonneville just makes sense. My wife cant drive the gto either so she'* happy I'm getting my Bonneville back lol
