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

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

Welcome! We are in the same boat, just bought a GXP 2 weeks ago and should be here in a couple days. 
You'll love it here. People know what they are talking about here. Have fun.
