Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)
More pics to come when lighting is better, might not be till the weekend. Supposed to rain next couple of days and it still needs the sunroof installed.

I love these cars, and the blue looks amazing. If 1990s Pontiacs were as good as the G8, we would probably still have Pontiac. They should have started selling more RWD V8 powered Pontiacs here a long time ago.

The car was probably ordered without the sunroof and the dealer is going to install one. I suppose they would have to replace the headliner and use all stock parts. It would be more expensive than ordering one but they probably thru it in the deal to sweeten the pot.

I Love those cars! I want a V8 GT just like that but in black or silver. You are a lucky man. I just cant believe they are going to kill Pontiac and leave us hanging with such a beautiful car and nothing to follow it!
Love that color.
My favorite car color is black, pretty much the only color i like on my vehicles. But that color is nice it would be a tough choice between that color and black.

This one was sitting in their showroom floor and was the dealer demo, so I got a little bit more of a break because of that.
I decided on the blue because it's the one color that really draws the eyes. I didn't want black because it's a pain in the rear to keep clean and when you get that first scratch or nick, it's noticeable. The other colors while nice can be found on just about every single car model in existence.
I have to pay for the sunroof(or have as it was rolled into the loan), but I got a few other nice perks out of 'em instead. I've been ogling this one for a few months and decided to buy it at the local Pontiac dealer because they got quite a few of G8's on the lot that weren't moving, and was hoping the salesman could give me a number I like. He did.
But now for the important bit.
I still have the Bonne, but am/will be looking to sell it. I gave a friend of mine the first offer to buy as he is without a car and will be needing one eventually. There's nothing wrong with it other than age and my own desire to have something new and fun.
I will be without for a day and a half or so. It goes in for the roof tomorrow as well as the whole armor/rust shebang stuff, but I'll have it for weekend fun.
