As of tomorrow a different member will be the owner of my beloved Gravenge. It has been a wild 10 years since I got her with a ton of fond memories with her.

Unfortunatly, for the past five years, she has sat; except for WCBF's in July. The new owners have told me that they are going to get her fixed up and get some good use out of her! Stay tuned to see who the new owner will be tomorrow :wink: Until then, here are some parting shots and some pics with my other rides :btruestory:

Thats a long time to own one car. Lots of memories and good times. But you're right, letting it sit is no good. i hope it gets many more years of good use.

Somebody scored, I'm sure it will put more than a few smiles on some new faces. I know it did for me hearing the whine at Woodburn.

Curious what the odo reads?

Wow John....that's a lot of history to be changing hands! Hope the new owner puts as much love and care into her as you have.

It is going to be Kathy's first car she can call hers. She is already registered here as kdogg. It will be taken care of and will serve her for years to come.

Can anyone feel this black and white thing I got going here? :bwoohoo:

Yup! I have not been able to keep up on the maitnence with Gravenge and felt overwhelmed with owning 3 vehicles :helpsmilie: . I gave, what I think, I pretty good deal and he has told me many times the plans on making it his daughter's car.

Kinda an emotional day for me letting her go but I couldn't be happier with the new owner :beerchug: :banana: :hail:

Final shot as I left:

:helpsmilie: I need a PONTIAC FAN ONLY parking sign!

Thanks John, you have been an enabler to my addiction. Anybody have a recovery program?

Rest assured the club will see more of this car to come.

I have a feeling it will be well takin care of in Matt and Kathy's hands. That car has a ton of life left in it, and it was also the first Pontiac Bonneville Club members car I ever drove besides my 93 at the time. Definitally an emotional moment, I wouldnt find it easy to do, but would feel better selling it to someone I know....someone who knows a few things. Matt, you need a bigger driveway.
