Hiya! New to the forum....
Hi everyone!! I'm a fellow son of Miss Bonnie myself and I'm here to join in the fun!! I'm currently a member at W-body.com under the same username and now I'm going to be in TWO forums!
I'm 18-and-a-half years old and I'm a senior in high school. I'm living at home with my parents and younger brother (a junior in HS). I've always had an interest in cars, but I began developing my interest/knowledge when I got my first car as a hand-me-down from my mom: a 1992 Chevrolet Lumina 3.1, grey in color and very clean. I grew to love that car, but also had a notorious speeding habit (and still do). I ended up wrecking that car, and then purchased a 1989 Buick Reatta from a small mom-and-pop auto shop that had sat in the lot for a long time. I still have the Reatta AND a vid on YouTube.
Now, I'm on my third car: a 1991 Bonneville LE, white, with 221k miles!!! It still drives like a champ and can still spin the tires easily (although I'm easy on this car because I want it to last).
To save on typing labor, I'm going to post a link to the thread on my Bonneville that I posted some time ago over at W-body. Enjoy:
Another old/new car....little Miss Bonnie...PICS TO COME SOON!!
Also, if you're interested in seeing my Reatta'* vid, go here:
YouTube - Buick Reatta exhaust and WOT
On a side note, my brother drives a 1991 Nissan Maxima, my dad drives a 2001 Cadillac Seville SLS, and my mom drives a 2007 Kia Sportage LX with the 5-speed.

Thanks guys!! Yeah, most of the guys over at W-body are younger, usually in their 20'* and 30'*. Very few are quite as young as me, however, but there are a few. Same goes for the guys up in the 40'* and 50'*. But yeah, GM owns all and when it comes to buying cars, I'm loyal to them only........or Nissan *shrug*
I'm a big fan of cars from the 80'* and early 90'*. I'm not really too fond of all the new cars these days, what with their exaggerated curves, they're huge taillights, and their complexity. But, I'd take a Buick Lacrosse anyday!!
I should mention, I'm more a fan of Buick.

*high five*
I remember back when had my Lumina and I raced an "old fart" in his Camry. I lost. I told an older guy about it and he said "yeah, you don't want to race the old guys. They always have all the toys"
