Hey guys
I'm curious, have you guys ever gotten bored with the Bonnie and wanted to sell it for something more exciting or nicer etc? I know Rogue is definitely not bored with his.
But seriously have you?
I have. Some days I despite the car so much I want to kill it, the aftermarket is not as large for the L36 (granted there'* some but they're pricey except for the CC) then the next day I love it
How about you?

Definately. It'* slow, gets sub-20mpg around town (thanks, GX3), and has some rust. But I love it.
It'* definately also not why its for sale... :(

I think we have had our days. Most days it runs real good and she takes me for a good ride an all, but those other days, something happens and I am no longer motivated to drive her.
Yer right, not much of a market for us 3800 guys. Alcohol would be cool though.

I should clarify that I do love mine, just that some days I want to trade the Bonne in for something different. But today I do not!

I won't sell it though. It'* worth more to me than anyone else. If I tried selling it right now I could probably get $2500 out of it. Tops. I'll get another 100,000 miles out of it and then turn it over to someone for a few hundy. Nursing it along the way, of course.
Our Bonnie has definitely seen better days... Paint is all chipped, eats through UIMs and LIM gaskets, tranny slips like a mo fo, a/c is weak, suspension is shot, seats are worn, key fobs don't work, windshield is cracked, and it creaks like an old grandma!
