New to me 2005 GXP

Post by Johnny G »

Hello all, I've been lurking the last couple weeks learning about the Bonneville in preparation for my new ride. This was my grandmother in law's that she sold because she no longer drives. I've never had the pleasure of daily driving a V8, and I've been greatly enjoying this one. I'll miss the mpg of my '08 Lexus ES350, but this has about 130k less miles at 58,600.

I took her out for a little drive last weekend with my wife, she handles beautifully. The car is nice too :P

Enjoy your new ride. You should expect to get lots of miles with it.

Thanks Mike! That's the hope. I'm taking her on a small road trip from Phoenix to San Diego at the end of the month, so that'll be her first real test with the summer heat.

I need to read the owner's manual and set maintenance reminders, but this forum is a great resource as well.
