New to some, hoping for a return

[krenzy]

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.

3100. I would've liked to find a 3800 but I couldn't find one in my range. Very peppy! It had a squeak so I replaced the belt and it went right away.

I just l67 swapped my 97

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?

[l67ss]

Mebbe all fluids and filters. You should check out my car in the garage, mite give you the monte mod bug

Welcome back!!! I remember you! I may not have been too active when you left because I had sold my Cutlass and my TGP, but I couldn't stay gone long. I've owned 6 Ws in the last as many years now

Glad to see you back, man. Sorry to hear things have been so rough....

[White93z34]

Well damn. Its been a LONG time since I saw your user name around here.

 

Glad things are looking better for you. Welcome back!

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.

[redgrandprix]

i don't think you were active when i joined but that sig pic popped up many times during my scouring of the tgpforums, but welome back!

[GOT2B GM]

welcome back! Maybe touch base over at tgpforums as well to contact some of your old customers.

[94 olds vert]

I remember reading your posts years ago when I first joined up. Glad to see you back.

Welcome back. Still quite a few long time members who hang around here!

Hey there's a few of us around here...even if we don't necessarily drove Montes anymore

[Night Fury]

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

Welcome back bud, I remember you! Sorry to hear about all your health issues, I hope things are turning around in that regard. Hell, I hope things turn around for you in every way too!
