Remember me?

Hi Folks,
Been a while but thought I would check in and say "Hi" to everyone.
Although I haven't been able to get into another Bonneville (yet) I still have been exploring the automotive landscape the last 5 years.
I briefly had a 2002 Subaru Outback Limited Wagon. Although nice, it was not comfortable as a daily driver (these were not meant for 6'3" 250lb people....)
So I moved onto a more fuel-minded gas sipper that was surprisingly more comfortable than the Subaru, a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid CVT.
But after 70k miles, a new Honda Hybrid Battery, continuous CVT issues and a never-ending Airbag recall, I traded it in for a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT AWD last June.
This has been a nice middle-ground between the hippie-loving-Seattle-techy and the green-peace-tree-hugging reputations that the Subaru and Honda gave off.
While keeping my ever-trustworthy Ford Expedition through all of this, I was also able to purchase my Grandparent's 1992 Fleetwood Wilderness Travel Trailer that they had owned since new. Although I'm not an avid camper, it has been nice to get up and go for a weekend away without having to find a hotel.
At any rate, just wanted to check in on my old stomping grounds. Looks like this place is still going strong and I still see a lot of activity on the Pontiac Bonneville Club Facebook Club on a daily basis.
Cheers all!
