I would love to, but im not ready to get back into that right now. I have to run on a low budget for a time. :(

And im loving the extra money right now from not having to pay full insurance, fuel, repairs...

Im still loving bonnevilles, but theres time in a life you have to run low profile, thats my case now. All the repaired done to the bonneville sucked a lot of my money, close to 4000$ just in repair in 2 1/2 year.

I can see your point. Now was that 4K just in repairs or was some of that mods?

Just repair, mods is another 2000$ in total.

I had an engine replaced, tranny solenoid, lower intake gasket, intermediate shaft, steering position sensor, 3 bearing, boost control solenoid, O2 sensor, etc...
And im not hard on my cars. (Only at track, but i only make 2 passes each time i go)

many thing that make me wait till ill get the money to be prepared to that again IF i choose to get another Bonne .

Dont forget why i bought that car, its not really a choice.
My Bonneville cost me over 23000$ in total. To finaly burn, ive invest time ,cares and money. The lost of the car was pretty hard.
And i received 12650$ from insurance. I still have to give 4000 to the bank, wich is my repairs... you understand now why?

My need for speed go threw the toy.
