As most of you know, my mom is not in the greatest health conditions at the moment, so I drove to White, SD today to be with her and help her around the house. This evening when my dad got home from work I had some free time that I took some pics. Most of these are from my parents back yard, HUGE!

horses right off the main road going thru White... they are very tame to cars.

was a great pink sky that I was trying to capture...didn't work

my parents cat, "Stevie"

here is the kind of mileage I got on the trip out here...

87 + 453 = 540 / 18 gallon tank = 30 MPG highway average...not bad!

Nice pictures.

I dream of getting 30 MPG average. Do the 00+ SSEi's get better fuel economy compared to say my 97?

No. Every properly tuned Bonneville on this forum should be getting 30mpg on the highway

Beautiful pics.... I've always liked that color. I just saw a 96-99 SE in that blue.

I don't remember the last time my Fuel Range read 453. I don't get a chance to do a lot of highway driving.

I remember, he drove winterbeaters while he worked on it. Took lots of time and patience, more than most folks have. Worth it in the end though

looks kinda clean in the pics, but like most people say, it was filthy. Lots of dust, water spots and bird poop. Luckily the shine overpowers the crap.

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate it. I haven't done much work to the exterior, as the entire car still needs paint, but the entire interior has been redone.
