Huge thanks to Driver John! I love my new car! She will be well taken care of and I promise I will bring her to BonnieFest so you can drive her again!

I'll post more pictures as we clean Gravenge up, now that I have a Bonneville of my own to post about.

I think that car will give you years of driving excitement :) Sure, it isn't the fastest car out there, but for a large heavy car they definitely hold their own and the combination of everything with them is definitely hard to beat!

More pics!

Yesterday it was nice out and I somehow picked the wrong day to volunteer for overtime. While on my lunch break, I came home and washed the Chicken. I left the bucket of water and hose out because Kathy wanted to wash Gravenge.

Well, at 8 o'clock last night, I gave Gravenge her first bath at our place. My neighbors must think I am nuts.

I can tell Kathy is loving her car and has told me how much her friends like it. One of her male gendered friends is trying to convince all their friends that his 97 Chryler LHS is better, but everyone keeps kicking him to the curb and say they like Gravenge better. She does get kind of upset when I mess with the seats. She has them set "perfectly" the way she wants them.

Lulz, sounds like a typical HS guy trying to show up a girl. Just don't let her get the idea of racing him anywhere but the track, even if she would kick his butt...

I don't blame her. Lol. AL7's have 2 million options. Takes a long time to get just right. The only one I ever let get touched is the passenger side. For some reasons that's the first things girls go for in my car. :btruestory:
I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
