Goodbye, old friend :(

Final HD Video: http://vimeo.com/19329468

You were the first car I bought myself, and you will be missed! :hello2: The SSEi was sold yesterday to a couple from Grimsby who are very much Pontiac and GM enthusiasts. This won't be their first 3800, and also not their first Bonneville. The turbo Cobalt in the video is theirs too! I know it's going to a good home and will do great as a daily commuter car. Considering I sold the car through the Ontario/Quebec Club GP, I hope they'll be here on Pontiac Bonneville Club as well.


Lexus IS300, Volvo 850, and the GXP bid their final goodbyes too:

Glad to see it went to someone who will most likely care for it.

Off topic; I got married in Grimsby (Casablanca Winery Inn).

I saw the video on the Face Jerry, sad to see it roll away, but sounds like its going to a good place/owner.

With a couple Trans Am's and a C5 Z06 Vette in addition to the Turbo SS Cobalt in their stable, it probably won't get any better than that :)

Jerry, you've had plenty of great use from that Bonny and now it will go to someone who is willing to keep it going. You can't do much better than that, IMO.
