Well here she is. Haven't posted up any pics for a long time. She's still kicking, 306k miles and still running like a top. Haven't had any problems with it for quite a while.

Took her for a wash and wax and detailed the interior and cleaned all the crap out of it.


Without further adieu:

It's great that your car has been well taken care of. if nothing bad happens, the ole Bonneville I'm driving will have 300K on it in about 7 months or so - lol. - BC

It's been well taken care of since I've owned it. Haha

If u saw it when I bought it you wouldn't believe it was the same car. Leaking tranny fluid, oil gushing out of valve covers, barf and other items under all seats. The whole car was gutted and cleaned and reassembled. I have replaced pretty much everything on the car.

Just love that car. Was also a great car for a youngster, I know I would've had a few speeding tickets already if I had a supercharged car.

I do to, I don't know if anyone remembers but these were on Olds 88 that we bought 2 years ago, only had it 3 months and it dropped a valve so we just scrapped the rest. But I took the rims and brand new tires :twisted: Hankook Optimo H727, these have been very good tires so far, I was all for Cooper tires before but I'd buy another set of these in a heartbeat. Especially being a 100k mile tire, that is cheaper than most others.

Never looked into it but these rims were only available on the 2004 Grand Prix, no wonder I don't see them very often.

Looks very well preserved for its age and mileage, especially for a car in the snow belt!

Nice! That's alot of miles.
Seems I have hope for many years to come then. Only at 110k miles so far on my 94'.

Car looks great for that many miles! No need to get worry about miles past 200K with a 3800!!

Nice detail job! Just need the snow to melt so it stays looking that good!
