Remember me? Heres a quick rundown of my life. (Pictures!)

This is a picture story, so click the little pictures to see big ones. I think this is fairly readable, but I am sorry if it is hard to read.

Hey everyone! Some of the older members will remember me from way back. I joined not too long after the ORIGINAL Bonneville club forums had started. I want to start off by letting you all how much you have helped me over the years. The Bonneville was my first car and has stayed reliably by my side for 8 years now, and thanks to this forum I have been able to keep her running well to serve me all those years. The bonnie was in FANTASTIC shape, minor (repaired) rust on some of the doors and the paint job still looking fresh (repainted top to bottom by a dealer probably 5 years ago)

A couple weeks ago I was heading to my fiancée's house and I had pulled over for an oncoming police officer in my lane and the Tacoma pickup truck behind me never saw me stop (Granted I don't know why, because I had stopped for 10-15 seconds before he hit me). My Bonnie put up quite a fight though, and sent the Tacoma's bumper through his radiator and I think I took care of a rod end. Pictures to follow.



This happened at a very bad time. I was planning on replacing bonnie next year, but I am currently going through a full year of school and I am getting married in two, so money was a little tight. Obviously Bonnie was totaled, the insurance paying a measly $2000 for her. But I did find a made-for-me replacement vehicle that was offered at a RIDICULOUS deal. I bought my truck and it still has a year of warranty on it.



So that was a relief, with a 2.9% APR loan that keeps me (barely) in the black until i can get my full time job next year. So anyways, that is my current situation in a nutshell. Thank you all for your constant support and help over the years. Keep a lookout in the near future for sale posts.

I have the UTMOST respect for this forum and its admin that have kept this place a respectable, appropriate, helpful and ever so friendly and welcoming environment over the years despite all the troubles we have come across. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Brandon Schamer

P.S. I will be selling the wheels (in GREAT shape) and tires (less than 10k miles on them, 95+%) as well as the whole car. The engine is original and runs great with 160k miles and the transmission is rebuilt by a very reputable company just 20k miles ago. Any interest, please PM me.

Glad to see you around, and it's even better to hear you're doing well. You likely remember me as my old screen name: vital49.

Good to see your still around... And good to see that another person walked away from an accident... Nice replacement truck you got there... Looks fairly loaded...

And just because you have that truck doesn't mean you can't stick with us...lol

Good to see you again

Thanks guys! It brings a smile to my face to hear from all the familiar folk

I will still stop in, but as you can tell by my ridiculous absence, I've been pretty busy. Between finishing up a couple of degrees (Electrical Engineering, and Computer Aided Drafting), hanging out with the fiancée, and the Bonneville running pretty well, thats kept me devoid of a lot of internet.

I appreciate your support!

P.S. Does anyone know (as a family friend or otherwise) in a Chrysler dealership? Maybe better yet within 40 miles of Cincinnati?
