A bonnefull day
I can go weeks without seeing another Bonneville, first thing today one came very close to hitting me, ran a stop sign and da*n near T-boned me. It was WHITE 88-89 style.
Went to A&W for lunch and parked beside a very nice green SSE.
Met my sisters and a few of the nieces and nephews for dinner in Victoria and when I left there was a silver SSEi parked beside me.

Re: A bonnefull day
Interesting thing about that.
Other then the Bonneville in my garage I only see a Bonneville about every other week..
Except the recent weekend of 9/17~19/2008. i saw two Bonnevilles, the srtange thing is I saw a Blue one and a Black one.
I've never seen a Blue or Black one in that year/modelbefore or after that Friday or Saturday, which ever it was.
I think they had the 97~99 body, same as Bob's car.
Cool huh?

Re: A bonnefull day
Pretty few and far between here.
I see maybe 3 a week. Today was a dark red 00 SSEi and a 92-95 SE without a muffler
Kept going back through the intersection I was at too..at full throttle no less.

Re: A bonnefull day
haha same here. I can hardly go 10 miles without seeing another Bonneville or at the very least another 3800 powered car during the day. It must be a Minnesota thing. One thing that sucks is every time I see a Bonneville I try to get a look at the driver and it's always some middle-aged to old women driving itbonnevillain wrote:uhh. what???! I see about 10 a day.

Re: A bonnefull day
Seen a green '94 SSEi parked at the side of the road with a "For Sale" sign on it today.
Looked real nice with silver lace rims, good paint and interior but they wanted $6000. for it.

Re: A bonnefull day
I see one everyday when I go to the garage.
not many 00+ around here, and virtually no SSEis.

Re: A bonnefull day
We have far too many in town here. I remember when me and my room mate went to Wendy's for lunch and I kept looking out the window to see how many Bonnevilles I could see drive by. Between walking there, the 45 mins we were there and then the walk home I counted a total of 27.
Driving around town tho one thing I notice is that there is a total of 3 SSEi's around here including mine, that Ive seen anyway.

Re: A bonnefull day
I can see two out my window on a good day.
There are 2 00+ SSEi's around here, and one goes to college, LOL. I go to school and see, on average, about 10. And that's before I leave the school parking lot! And I see another SSEi on my way to school, but that one doesn't count, since it's driven by a appx. 50 year old lady, LOL.

Re: A bonnefull day
most of the ssei's around here are owned by people (mostly ladies) over 50,and none of them will even realize the potential of the car stock, let alone modded
