Are the Bonnevilles cheaper by the Dozen?
LOL
WOW you've gone thru quite a few.

Btw - The 87 Lancer w/turbo were pretty cool. My buddy let me drive his, just once, LOL.

^^Right on!

As for me...


'84 Subaru GL Wagon- 4WD ftw! Bought non-running for $50 and sold for $300- before I turned 16.
'85 Cutlass Supreme Brougham - 4 door RWD, 307, abysmal gas milage and a slipping trans...
'88 T-bird Turbo Coupe- Felt nice at 15 PSI but was a rustbucket with a lot of problems. Bought it cause my dad had one, I thought it was cool, wanted one too in spite of it being a shitbox. Sold this one for...
'87 Toyota Camry DLX- rare 5-speed and I miss it running like clockwork and the consistent 30 MPG. Hardly any rust- that'* rare for gen2 Camrys. Still, it was "getting old"
'95 Toyota Camry DX- 5-speed- nice car overall, but didn't do anything for me.
'94 Lincoln Mark VIII- Loved this car to death, even when premium was $3.50/gal last Fall and it was my senior year of college. Stupidly decided to sell it...
-now-'97 SSE- I think if I had an L67 car, my perception of Bonnevilles might be different.
-Spring- '90 T-Bird SC- has only 51K and will be my winter project/new DD next Spring.
