You all know the story really, but since you can never had too many pictures...
For the pre-driving age (okay, so this isn't *the* bike I rode three years ago, but it'* my new one and I'll take any opportunity to show it off)...

Then the Bonneville (which is why you're all stuck with me)...
And now, the GA...

I had a 1987 Lancer ES I turned into a Shelby Clone for my first car -this isn't it but it looked alot like it although mine was white and had a spoiler from a 1989 on top of the hatch along with the small ducktail at the back of the latch:
My second car was a 1985 Plymouth Horizon with 90k on it -it lasted me 70 miles with the cruise set at 70 mph on the freeway before it burned a hole in the #3 piston. Good thing I only paid $300 for it.
My third car when it was at it'* best:
As it is currently (but it needs a new top BADLY as well as the motor put in it that'* been in the garage for about 2 yrs)
Then I drove my dads 1978 Dodge Diplomat with a 360 until I bought another 1987 Dodge Lancer (non ES, but a turbo and with alot more options than the Shelby Clone had) -no pics of either of these although I was just given the title two months ago to the Diplomat which has been given a 318 -needs a good tuneup before I can drive it and mod for drags.
After the second Lancer I bought my first Bonneville, and my 3rd H-body (Lancer'* were H-bodies) and here'* where my B-ville addiction started -THE ORIGINAL OL BLUE EYES BONNE!!!!!!
After that I had this 1993 SSE for a couple months until I was laid off from my job.
I drove a 1989 Buick Lesabre Limited until I got my 1994 SLE which alot of you saw me ***** up over in the Your Rides section.
After that it was a 1999 SSEi which I still see and drive every so often, followed by my current SSE and Park Avenue w/Prestige package.

First car and first love, as my sig. says my 1987 Bonneville LE. On it'* 3rd transmission, i know because i just put the 3rd in and have reciepts for the 2nd being installed. 204000 miles on it and runs like a champ, my oil level never moves and she'll spin the tires half way down the block. "The Villian" as i call her.
