Last February I was ranting about trying to buy a car (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...ght=bonneville). I finally "settled" on a 98 Bonneville because I was so frustrated with trying to find a decent car. I have been aggravated with myself ever since I bought that car. I just didn't like it. In my last search I was trying to find a car that was newer than the one I had at the present time. The Bonneville has all kinds of gizmos and gadgets on it (translate that as lots of unnecessary stuff that is expensive to fix when it breaks because I can't work on it) that everyone thinks they have to have these days.
I finally decided to start looking for a "real" car. I spent a few hours on Searchtempest looking at cars made in the 80's. I found an 88 Chevy Caprice in KY. 130,000 miles (55,000 less than the Bonneville), kept in a garage its entire life, all service records starting with the first oil change at 3,000 miles. It has a 305 smallblock with a carburetor. The transmission is behind the engine where it belongs, not wrapped around it with everything crossways under the hood. If something breaks, I can fix it.
That is my kind of car.
I don't have any pics yet , but there are some in the ad here - http://evansville.craigslist.org/cto/1932991016.html
Anyone want to buy a 98 Bonneville?
