Hello. I guess no one should be all that surprised that there's a Bonneville owners club -- I'm glad I found my way to it.

I'm a IT specialist for the federal government and I live in Eagle, Idaho -- a town of about 13K just to the northwest of Boise. I own a black 2005 Bonneville GXP. For the most part it's a great car, but I've had a couple of problems with it that have disappointed me -- I'm disappointed in the apparently cheap-o materials used on my expensive GXP, but I'm especially disappointed in the dealer's responses to problems. Anyway, enough morbidity. I do enjoy my Bonnie -- it is powerful and a blast to drive because in spite of being a big car it seems to like to be driven and it is definitely capable. On top of that, you can't gripe about 18 or so in-town MPG from a 275 horsepower V8 -- fantastic motor in this car -- even twisting it a bit hard now and again. On a recent road trip, I got a best MGP of 27 -- cruising from Boise to Salt Lake City at a more-or-less steady 80 mph.

Welcome to the club. You'll find plenty of helpfull and friendly Bonne owners here. Get us some pics of your car

Welcome, This is a great site!

I had a problem with my DIC and ended up getting a transmission flush and an oil change for my grief. Send me a PM and I will tell you what I eventually did to get my car fixed.

Thanks for the welcome -- I'm glad I found this Club -- it's already been helpful (I posted a tech question about the fog lights on my 05 GXP and got a couple of great responses).

The crack about "got taters?": Uh, yeah, that's real clever -- haven't heard that one before! :lol:

I've got some pictures of my Bonnie -- I'll get 'em posted with my profile soon.

Again, thanks much for welcoming me to the Club....

glad to have you abard! Live in washington myself but am fenquently visiting the Pullman area. How close are you to the state line?

I'm a couple hundred miles south of the Pullman, WA/Moscow, ID area -- I do get up there sometimes, but usually in the Summer.
