Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
Hello! I just found an '03 Bonneville last week, and found your board during research. I feel like I got lucky with this car. My folks had Bonnevilles during the 60's and 70's and they were always good cars. I've had a Trans Am, but I tore it up..hopefully I won't ever do that again!

See Ya!!

Re: Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
If I remember right, it has swoopies one that one side, and the chrome stars (or whatever they're called, just like Andrew's sig) on the other side. Be sure to keep an eye on our For Sale section to get two more matching wheels.gonzo4191 wrote:someone threw swoopies on it?

Re: Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
Yep, you looked at it too? Do you know anything about it? I bought it as is- I've already got to put a wheel hub ass'y on the front right. It's got a vibration at highway speeds.TrueWildMan wrote:Congrats on the buy! That looks like the car that was on eBay last week, same by any chance? Anyway, welcome!

It also has two different styles of rims on it. I took the car anyway to make it nice, hopefully.
@gonzo- I've got a lot to learn. My last ride was a cheap '96 Avenger, that started falling apart the first day I got it, and never quit till the computer fried. I've only started to learn what mods you can do. Thanks!
** That Pete guy's Bonnie is nice!
@TrueWild Man- the thing has the five spokes on the left side and those swoops on the left. We can't figure out exactly what has happened. CarFax says it had moderate damage, but I knew it was still in good condition. Everything works except it's missing some tunes. It's real fast and stable, though, for now!
Thanks for the welcome, everybody!

Re: Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
Gonzo, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the swoopies. Interesting though, now you've just got to decide which wheels you like better and get two more, haha.

Re: Nicest ride I;ve ever had...
Thanks for the replies, you all. I'll watch for some Stars or Five Spokes whatever they are called. I think they look more advanced than the others. Now if I could keep jealous d*cks from damaging it. Some people. They've been throwing rocks at it since I pulled it into the driveway. I don't want to go to jail.
