About Time That I Joined

Post by gweg_b »

Hey everyone!

I have been a lurker to this forum for many, many years. I think I found about this place around April or May of '05. Due to lack of time, and me always being in a hurry, I never got around to joining until now. But I will tell ya, this place has been like a treasure chest of knowledge for me throughout the years! I personally have no mechanical skills (spent my whole life as an artist), and can do very little once it comes to the moving parts of a car (engine, brakes, suspension), but I have learned many things about cars (especially H-bodies and the 3800) from this very forum.

Oh yeah, I have 2 cars in my name -- a 1995 Buick LeSabre Custom (my first car), and a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi that I just purchased this year. I enjoy them both, each in different ways.

Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi', and I will be posting pics later. As I said, I may not be much help when it comes to mechanical things, but I will help in anyway I can, and I look forward to becoming a valuable member of this community!!

Thanks guys! I have found this club (that includes when it was at the 'old site' as well) to my favorite among any forum I have ever visited -- and that's the reason why I'm here almost everyday!

Anyway, I'm kinda in a hurry (gotta go finish Christmas shopping), but I'll get some pictures up tonight, and provide some information on my LeSabre.

Thanks again guys!

I'd love to get together to go to a meet sometime. Could never get enough people around town to do something, and I've always been interested in attending one. I'd look forward to getting to one!
