Another Bonnie to the rescue..... GOD, that'* what I love about these cars!
But another whitey falls by the wayside....... I think it'* time to sell mine, or maybe paint it? Not sure if painting would be enough to eliminate the curse.
LMAO @ Bandit'* comment on the GP......

One time I was asked " what if I totalled your Bonnie ?" ... I said if that happens and you walk away then the car would have served its purpose.... I may be upset about loosing the car, But happier to see no harm to the occupants... I'd rather loose the car..
Tell you daughter that she will loose that fear in due time and will be driving again..

Not moving to NY anytime soon with it, are you?

NY, eh? How'* the market for rocket scientists? The only other qualification I have is for village idiot, but I think NY already has it'* share of those.
The Northeast is beautiful (used to live there around the time the US was looking for real estate on the moon), but I'm not sure I could give up the wide open spaces of the west. Mountains on our east, and the flat open desert on the west. You can see forever. In fact, my dog ran away last week and *picks up binoculars* ,yep - he'* still runnin'.

None of them feel anything from the accident except, interestingly, they all mentioned they feel a little tense, like their muscles are clenched. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I was doing 87mph, ran 3 red lights, had a big mac in one hand, a phone in the other, and a cup of steaming hot chocolate between my legs while listening to Alice Cooper'* Greatist Hits on the way to their school. j/k They weren't the least bit nervous in the car (truck), I'm thinking their muscles are still recovering from that instantaneous stress they encountered a couple days ago.
Hannah will drive again when she'* ready. It will probably be tonight when I pop in a couple old Dr. Who videos and make her watch them with me - that should pretty much drive her out of the house and over to a friend'*. Heh, heh.

I admit nothing... .... The less Mom and Dad knew back then the better off I was.. 16 and getting back to my friends house at 2-3am... Boy if dad knew that back then...
I am glad that your daughter and friends came out of the accident just fine... They will feel it for a few more days... Any plans on another Bonneville? Maybe a Medium Garnet Red one
