My first "Bonnie"

Post by smithd2424 »

Hello everyone!! Figured since I've already made a few posts that I would introduce myself, and by the way thanks for all the help. Anyhow my name is Dan and I live in the Northwest, I am of 22 years YOUNG and have a family with two kids.. I work at Jiffy Lube which can be horrible at times but also very resourceful when having vehicles. After spending cold days in the pit at the Lube shop I spend my most time going after my bachelors degree in Construction Management. Although this is my first bonnie I AM SURE to buy more! :) I love my boat! haha. Anyhow there it is boys and girls, thanks for reading and hope to get to know more of you.

-Dan

P.S. I can post pictures of my car soon but it is ugly now lol. Also 190k miles :(

Welcome!

High mileage doesn't mean anything on these cars :) I just sold my '93 SSEi and it still looked amazing for over 200,000 miles.

Welcome dan!

Ugly or not, all that matters is: it's still a car, and you love it.
It's been a very long time, but, I am still around!

190 aint to bad..my buddies dad had a 93 ssei that the odometer/DIC quit working at 350ish thousand..and he kept driving it for another 6 months..and he drove 80 miles a day 7 days a week..and sometimes more

all it had was a rebuilt motor,trans and a few other things...the 92-99 are truly great Pontiac's..but the 00+'s are bad either
