Picked it up yesterday, and I love it!

Long story short, the Trans Am has nailed its coffin shut for me, I'm selling it, and this is replacing it. It's been extremely well maintained, drives like a new car, and made it from Orland to Normal on 1/8th of a tank of gas. :)

This is what I always wanted in a Bonneville, so I'm happy to have it, and I promised Clayton and his family she'll be in good care.

It starts up and runs just as well as my 01 did, only things that I noticed don't work are the compass and power antenna, both of which I'll fix of course.

And the money shot:

Plans are to keep it stock other than an intake and tint, basically fix what ever would need to be fixed and cruise. :)

Nice pick up! I bet this'll keep the miles off the GXP?

Yes, because now instead of him taking the GXP to work he'll take this and I drive less for myself.

If you buy headers, I'll buy a pulley.

Let the bad influencing start.

The lamp monitor works too! Lmao...

Thanks! No headers, no pulley. It's quiet, and for this car I kind of like that.

Yeah, it's only on now because I actually have a reverse light out, which I'll replace tomorrow.

Love that car. Sad to see it go, but I know it will be taken very good care of at its new home. Good luck with the car Will and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Yeah, seeing Will trying to deal with the Trans-Am wasn't fun to watch.

But this SSEi looks amazing in person! For the age and miles, I don't think you could find anything better!

You'll succumb to the mod bug.

Lmfao. I did want to be able to keep the plates yeah. And I'm not sure about that Lane. I made it 3 years with a low miles SSEi and never had a aftermarket pulley on it. ;)
