Well hello there

I've been messing around this and the previous forum for a while and decided to join. I am on my 2nd Bonnie. I have even converted my wife. My first, a 96 SE developed the curse. I went unnoticed until it split the engine block. Unfortunately I did not have the funds to replace the engine and only being an SE I decided to wait. I bought a 85 Olds Toronado, another great yet under appreciated car. In the mean time my wife found a 2000 SE, we promptly upgraded the intake plenum and gaskets. She loves it. A few months ago my wait ended; I found a 1998 SSEi. Anyway, I have enjoyed tooling around and will continue. Glad to see fellow lovers of big fast cars.

Split the BLOCK?! Holy shazbut!
You wouldn't happen to have pics of that, would you? I think it might be the first time I've heard of that happening to a 3800. :sad5:

Sorry, I didn't get any photos, I was pretty distraught. It was the 2nd car I have had to just give up on. I think I had the damaged intake plenum for at least 2 years. I kept putting coolant in and thought it was leaking out the crack in my expansion tank. OOPS! But she made it to 190,000 so she had a good life and with me driveing, those were hard miles.
