Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Bid my 97' Olds 88 farewell last night, thanks everyone!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to thank you all for helping me get 3 and a half years out of my Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight. I have been on this site since late 2007 seeking information to keep my car running. What started out as a gift from my uncle for helping him out eventually turned into one of the most cost effective cars I have ever owned. The car was free with a rebuilt L36 in it and I put about $1200 into it over 3.5 years, traded it on for $500, all while making $0.50 per mile on many work related road trips. The car provided me with 26,000 miles of service and without the help from folks like WillWren, Harofreak00, and many others that wouldn't have been possible. Unfortunately, the Olds sprung a massive power steering leak two months ago and I knew it was the end since everything else was on the way out (trans torque converter, brakes, A/C trouble), so I traded her in last night on a 2005 Scion xA 5 speed. But like I said, I just wanna say thanks. I hope you all have good luck with your H-bodies.
