Bri's Brd passed quietly into the night. The engine blew while my dad was driving to the doctor's office. After attempting to give it to a new home, it was decided to let it rest. So after 16 years of faithful service, it has been given to the bone yard.
Rest in peace, Bri's Brd.
----------------------------------------------
As of 7/11/06 - it's still running, but about as well as when I said it was running terribly.
I have finally basically removed everything from the car. All the decals are gone, rear side speakers are removed, and the bass cannon is in my new car (Scion tC). I had planned on getting replacement pannels for the blue ones for the interior, but I may never get around to it. It is pretty much turning back to stock as much as possible.
Pictures of the current state someday... maybe.

Well, I put a motor in and it runs terribly. Either something is wrong with it or the trans. Rims are gone, sold them with The Max so it's back on the "snowflakes" as my mom uses it as her second car. The plan right now is to hang onto it until I get settled and I'll turn it into a straight race car. We'll see.
Check this out... someone "broke" into it (I have the " because my parents left the doors unlocked) and went through the whole car. Whoever it was didn't take anything. Not my CD player with the face attached, not the CD changer in the glove box, not the speakers on the sides in the back. I'mnot sure what he was after, but apparently he stole a gun from a car behind my parent's house. And he smelled, according to my step-dad.

This is Bri's Brd, my 1990 Pontiac Sunbird LE. I have had it since 1995 and over the years it has been through a lot to get where it is.
This is how it looks when it is in top shape, as in washed and with the summer rims on. The rims were 16 inch Quantum Tek S08s with Falken Ziek 205/45R16 tires.
So far I have left the exterior in original condition with the following exceptions. I added some multicolored fog lights and replaced the headlights with cool blue one... soon to be replaced with Xenon. I added custom made decals that say BLEUSPEED, a play off of Neuspeed. I painted the front air dam, antenna, groves within the mirrors, chrome strip in the molding, and the rock gaurds metallic blue to match the body color.
I also painted the A pillars, door handles, rest of the molding and mirrors metallic black.
Custon dent and broken fiberglass thanks to the 'first' tree.
