Default New Member - Long Time Bonneville Owner

Hi all.

I just stumbled across this great site this evening. I've been a Bonneville owner for the last 11 years, and never even thought to look if something like this existed. I drove my father'* old Black '88 LE from roughly '96-'00, and got rid of it when it was still going strong with 158K on it. It was starting to rust out a little, so a few years after college in the summer of '00, I bought my dream car; a Black '97 SSEi, which I still drive today. It'* got 147K on it and still looks and drives as good as the day I bought it. Just an amazing car.

This weekend, I'm picking up a Black '05 GXP. I love my SSEI, but I stumbled across a deal, and I couldn't pass it up. The '97 is still going to be my primary car (I just love it too much), but I wish it was Saturday already. I can't wait.

Once the weather is consistently nice, I'll post some pics of both. It'* pretty cool to know that there are others that love these cars as much as I do.

Cheers

Matt

Welcome, Matt. Although it took you awhile, you have definitely found THE place for Bonneville nuts to hangout.

Sounds like you'll have a nice problem on your hands, soon. Hmmm....which Bonne do I drive today....SSEi or GXP?

Default Thanks

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm from Cleveland, so the winters aren't that kind to my SSEi, but she still cleans up real nice.
