krenzy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi everyone. I'm not new to this site, but I haven't been on here in four or five years. I had a TGP (2 at different points in time), and considered myself pretty knowledgeable with these cars. I may have gotten a bit rusty. I left the forum not by choice but by necessity; I became very ill and had to sell of my TGP and pretty much anything I owned; we damn near lost the house. I sold a bunch of stuff to members and when I went into the hospital my family was cleaning out the house for the inevitable sale/foreclosure, and most of the stuff I had sold and collected money for was tossed without my knowledge, them thinking it was junk or just not necessary. I have been so ashamed to come back after my medical issues have stabilized because I feel so guilty for what happened, and rightfully so. I want to formally apologize to EVERYONE I've wronged; I am so sorry, I will find a way to make things right, I promise you. I don't have any idea of who bought what, but if you've bought something from me, please tell me what it was and how much you paid via PM. I can't make it all right immediately buy I will find a way in time. This really eats at me. I recently had a terrible luck streak with my 96 Bonneville SSE; the fuel pump went out, then a month later the tranny went out. After saving up for a couple months I had it replaced with a used one, then 60 days later it went out. After having the car for 5 years, I felt it was an omen to move on. I began a search for an affordable replacement, and found a 98 Monte Carlo in my price range. So I guess I'm back to a W-Body lol. Reminds me of that line from "The Godfather Part 3": "Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!" I'm hoping to meet some of the new faces and see some old friends again. This has always been a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krenzy Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nice! After a TGP I'm kinda over modding, but I'm all for tuneups lol. I plan on changing the plugs and wires when I can, just so I know what's in there and when it was done. Any other tips I'm forgetting for what to do when you first buy a car?

Psych0matt Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Welcome back!!! I remember you!

Imp558 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 That's a crappy roll of the dice but it's good to hear you've re-gained your health, that's the only thing you can't eventually earn back. Probably only a few members here from when you were on last but there's a few OG's in here still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Fury Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Cully, You're the only actual example I've EVER seen of GM's catering strategy, thinking Monte owners would go straight to Camaros. Just an observation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
