Hey all! My name is Brodie and I reside in Duluth, MN. My current car is a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am "25th Anniversary Daytona 500" pace car. I love the car to death, but I must sell for financial issues. Bills gotta be paid and I can't keep up as of right now. Once I get the car sold, I'll be in the market for a car in the $3,000 range and my friend told me to look into the '96-99 Bonneville SSEI. I have always been a fan of the L67 cars. I had a 2000 Regal GSE and had a 3.4" pulley, gatorback belt, DHP computer, Random Technology downpipe, 2.5" cat-back (custom), K&N cone filter, and a cooler thermostat. The car just screamed...literally, with the intake. LoL! Before I modded though, I was used to putting 87 octane in the car, since I was told in stock form these cars CAN run safely on 87. After I modded, I stupidly kept the 87 in and blew 2 pistons up. Needless to say, I traded the car for an '05 Neon that I kept for a good 5 years.

ANYHOO...I just joined the forum to research the cars a little bit and get some more info. I'd honestly rather have the '00+ style, but they won't fit my budget. So, with that said, hope to talk to some of you and learn about these wonderfully great, powerful and BIG cars!

Also, I can't figure out for the life of me why my signature picture won't work...

Picture is probably too big. Resize it using Photobucket's editing software to no bigger than 150x600.

From my limited knowledge, don't get an SSEi because of the need for premium fuel. I have a normally aspirated SSE and love it. I would recommend a N/A Bonneville. I am sure the S/C guys would heartily disagree. - BC

Thanks, but it didn't work. Strange...I did everything right?
So what Alpha camera do you have?

Hm, I tried it in mine and it works fine. Try your sig in a different layout?

I have a couple year old A200. :wink:

Nice! It finally works! And I also have an A200...love it, but I gotta play around with it some more. Gotta learn how to use the custom settings. I usually use shutter.

Yeah me too. I got it for Christmas and I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do...
