New guy
Hi, I'm Jon.Well last week my ford "exploder" earned the right for its nickname and blew up, so that left me with no car for the remainder of that week and this week and probably some of next week. I'm buying my moms 2002 (i think) Bonneville off of her for 500 bucks plus finishing paying it off. I'm a ford guy and whats more is I'm more into 4x4 than cars. But desperate times mean that I'm now going to be driving a fwd boat of a car lol. I hope that by being here i can make it into a car that i enjoy driving.
JON

Re: New guy
You'll be amazed with what you can do with a 4 Door boat and a 3800 
He** I've been modding on a Pontiac Transport... Some call it the Bonnevan.. But sadly the Bottom end is going( 176,000 miles of abuse, I am actually not happy about this )... But now I have the excuse to go to a Series II 3800 and 3.33 gears...LOL

Re: New guy
Yeah i wish i still had a 4x4 to play with...and I've driven my moms car (the one im buying) a few times and for the most part i like it..im not a huge fan of fwd but ill get use to it. I do love building something different and theres no built up bonnes around here so ill deffinitly enjoy being unique.
