Yep yep. Park Avenue is a special experience. I always envied it. Maybe I'll get one sometime in the future.
And OlBlueEyesBonne, this article is also very useful for your car. Please make sure to read all the pages of the article.
Did you know that in 1997 your car was worth around $35000?

I say this because... you pay *that* much for a new, fully-loaded Bonneville and get drum brakes 'till '00. Some other cars that cost considerably less have 'em. And several other cars had them way before the Bonneville did.

Nah, it'* just an optical illusion. The grass is bushy.
You can even try it with your car and see.

Thanks again Ireli. Great info. I even bookmarked it -something I do about 1-2 times a year.

I'm sorry about what happened with Melissa.
Maybe If you tell her that you will give her rides in the Park, that will fix things.
Who knows.

GOOD LUCK

I got pretty wasted when I went to the club for Mardi Gras with my friend who is a bartender there (he had the night off). So naturally we were hanging out with other off-duty employees and we were doing Jello shots, er.... make that ALOT of js'*. I kinda went overboard with it and it got the best of me. Woke up the next morning with 10 minutes to get to work on time, and no recollection of the night before. Luckily/unluckily (depends on which way I look at it, but mostly unluckily) I was only a few blocks from work (note -my house is 30 miles from work).

Ok, now back, back, back-on-track to the topic of this thread.

He he. Okay, I'll drop it.

Now don't forget that you have the "Prestige" level. So you may want to update your signature.

My mom has a '00 Park Avenue... does yours have the same sound system where you can turn it up SO loud you can't hear yourself think... and the **** is only half way across the dial?

I had my moms turned up so loud i could EASILY hear it 500 feet away with the doors open and then i shut the doors *pfft* --silence--

MAN thats a nice car!
