For the first time in the nearly ten years Ive owned Mustangs, I finally have a dedicated winter beater so the Stang will see ZERO winter miles, save for maybe bringing it out of storage to come to my shop. 94 Pontiac Bonneville SSE (not supercharged ) I found it on Craigslist, listed for 500 so I figured Id at least check it out. Car runs and drives great, drove it some twenty miles from the city when I bought it. Leather interior, moon roof. I was expecting the outside to be trashed but theres isnt a single dent in it. Other than a cracked tail lens its pretty much mint. Check engine lights on but Im not anticipating a problem with that. Previous owner informs me theres a ball joint loose. All in all, not bad. Ive spent 500 dollars on worst things. Itll be nice not having to put my car through the salt and snow this year. Last year wasnt too bad as I had the Eclipse for most of the time but the girlfriend has since assumed command of it. Kinda of wish I lived in a warmer climate and could have put the 500 into my car....

I know, I was expecting the worst but the car I got... I dont know if the people just needed the money or wanted to get rid of it. They said something about buying a new car so I think they needed the space. I spent more on my rims then I did on a whole car that runs and drives.
