Here it goes, List the info of your car, the price you paid (if you want) and such. List where you bought it, what was wrong with it when you bought it too

Then do a Timeline of things you have moddified, or fixed on your car, in order, no exact dates necessary. And at the end put your list down of what is still broken, and what you want to mod/fix soon, in order.

1993 Bonneville, H4U SLE package. Leather, buckets, keyless, special body panels, 3.06 gearing, power drivers seat, steering wheel controls, N10 GM high flow muffler. Purple Pearl paint code. $3900 June 23rd 2003. Build date, June 1993.... 106,276 Miles.

Insurance purchased 10 min later, title 40 minutes. Got home, vacummed it out, couldn't wash it cause of all the rain till saturday. Problems when bought, the bumper had a crack from the bottom, to a fog light opening, already had 4 bolts and a metal strap holding it together. Drivers mirror heavily cracked, drivers front speaker didn't work, milage was around 15mpg, two tires were loosing 5-8 PSI every 2-3 weeks.

The night i bought the car, picked up a fram air filter, later next week I Got the tires patched up, which also counts as credits to new tires, and started a tune up. Had the shop my mom does books for, put in plugs since i've never gapped them, fuel filter, oil change. Next day i put in some taylor spiro pro wires.

Then cleaning up began. I washed like crazy, claybar'd and waxed one day, and fell in love with the clay. Spent a few hours each night cleaning the engine bay, and learning where things are, and how they go together over a week. At this point i put some silicone on the cracked mirror housing, to keep water out, and keep it together. Also started the current silver grill trend.

I also put in my RFX-9000 MP3 cd player, had audio king do it, cause i had free installation, and they are a good store. Only paid 180 for a 300+ Headunit.

I originally wanted a bra for the car, so all my freeway driving to school/home would be chip less, but i have been discouraged from that.

Oct 6 Rolled 110,000 miles going 110MPH....

Next I Tinted my tail lights, and put on mudflaps for winter. I cleared my corners, and put them on Nov 1st. Later I got some subs from Smellbird, and hooked them up over thanksgiving break.

Over winter break, i got a new piece to a door light, and fixed that, and my drivers door speaker. Then i didn't get my window control harness in the drivers door in all the way, so they are MIA right now.

Bumpers and the one mirror housing are still messed up, but they are plastic and don't rust.

Jan 15th 110,980 miles (or very close) Still haven't rolled to 111 since oct 6th...

May 2003:
*my Great Grandma Hedy passes away a month before her 95th birthday

June 2003:
*we begin starting to discuss who gets what...Daddy expresses interest in the car, since we had the Buick and he wanted to sell one car to each daughter.
*Grandpa starts up the Bonnie for the first time since 1999, she starts right up on OLD GAS That car is awesome...

July 2003:
*We get the Bonnie, no one else wants her due to her "chugging" problem.
*at the end of the month, I test drive her, and despite the chugging, I fell in love with her. Julie said that she didn't want the Bonnie, and I told her that'* fine cause I didn't want the Buick. We're decided!
*Dad begins work on both cars.

August 2003:
*Daddy decides that he will GIVE my sister and me each one of the cars...man, we're spoiled...
*Can't figure out why the car is chugging, and neither can several of the shops we've taken her to, so we let it go for the time being.
*I pay for the title transfer (really hard to see a death certificate for your own Great Grandma ) and put insurance and plates on her.
*I drive her out of the shop for the first time with her new temporary plates, she'* MINE at long last

September 2003
*She gets elected as the official Cruisemobile of my friends and I
*one of her original tires blows due to dryrot from her sitting for so long before i got her. Daddy'* car present: Four new tires to all of the vehicles we own.

October 2003
*she gets REAR ENDED by a guy with no license and no insurance. $550 in damages of which I have only recieved $100 of to this day...
*One of the NEW tires blows :?

November 2003
*I have to brake suddenly to miss a deer, leaving flat spots on the front two tires. One friend comments on how the thumping from the flat spots sounds like hoofbeats...voila! The Chestnut Mare has a nickname!!!
*Her first winter with me begins.

December 2003
*The hesitating problem has almost caused me to get in several accidents. We take her to yet another shop, and they find a faulty canister purge valve. She now runs GREAT!!!
*She turns over 50k original miles


That'* longer than I intended, are y'all bored now???

Since then I installed a custom homemade intake, Removed MAF screen then reinstalled it. Installed 180 stat and uninstalled it. Waiting of summer to reinstall again. Gone through 2 sets of tires. One set because of hitting a dog at 80mph and flatspotting them. In process I managed to crack grill and knock out Marker light. Haven't replaced either since then. Besides you can't hardly notice unless you look closely. Replaced all the speakers with Pioneers and even added some to the dash where there aren't any. Installed a Sony MP3 Changer. Had it break 2 months later. (Friggin Piece of Junk) Installed XM radio
Basically since then I just drive her. Do the regular maintaince and have had nothing major go wrong except have a water pump go bad, and one alternator. Still on the original transmission and engine and I'm not one to baby my car either.

I maintain my car too much, not enough memory on the server.

Sept 03 - Finally find nice price for body peices and start to figure out how they fit on the car...

03 - sometime in there I had steel rims for a bit, did a 360 on the interstate, built a custom intake, and actually washed it twice.

04 - I had just about everything elecrical go wrong, most of them I had dad shoot with o-scope and repair, had to buy some stupid $20 switches I broke, Got most of the uprades in the "Where to start?" TechInfo. And now I'm working on beating a 91 CRX with a C32A or B (Can't remember which is the DOHC) round the track...

Started out just giving the car some love and fixing some odds and ends, ended up talking to people about races, running races. I've figured out that no one in this area that has any sort of reputable speed shop is allowed to touch my car, and that if you want it done right do it yourself, and if it doesn't work ask dad about it, then check the factory manual, then just go ahead and post here...Dad had no idea to start out with...
