Out with the old, in with the new.
Well, today was a bittersweet day. Today was the last day I would be driving my Bonneville. It's sad to see the car I put so much work into go, but the engine cradle almost dropped on it on the way home from Maryland last summer. I had it fixed, but I knew the Bonneville wasn't going to last much longer, and after 10 years of service in the family it was time to say goodbye. Things were starting to break and I know it was only going to get worse from here. So, I put my big boy pants on and picked up a nice 2009 Impala LTZ for a decent price. Wish I didn't have to let go of the Bonnie though, it's such a great car but I have to move on and start a new chapter in my life.

Rust is the worst. But in any case, the LTZ should serve you well.
