I've gotta go with #4...not because of the backdrop, but I'm digging the RWL tires and I remember seeing a white SSEi at the car show years ago (sounds similar eh?) and I thought it was way cool for a big sedan to get the spoilers, rocker skirts, a supercharged engine, and all those cool toys inside.

I also clearly remember an older gentleman walking up beside me and saying, "What do you think? If it were me I'd buy the Lexus before I bought this tub."

I looked him dead-eye and replied, "Speak for yourself mister."

This is a "toughy". For one thing, all Bonne's? All winners! in my book. #4 has a lot of presentation value added with the dealer presence, posters, etc. AND is a super looking machine it rates really high in my book. Plus the combo of white on tan is always "sharp summer dress". #8's ruby finish is something that always pulls me, nothing shines like that red metallic when it's polished up nice. #2 has that sharp chrome grill and looks like it's in great condition if that's recent. (Nice cruise ship too) I'm sure each handles rides and feels like a star but I often lean towards something a little different and this month I'm voting for the "carriage" top exhibited on #1. Something you don't see very often and it gives the car a very unique look. #1 final answer.

Wow thanks, the site has given me so much, in the way of advice on diagnosis and repair as well as the inspiration from all the creative and well engineered modifications. So it’s nice to be able to contribute back to the site in some small way.

The local car show season is just beginning, so I’ll be showing my car at the All Pontiac show in Surrey next Sunday, then the GM Orphans car show in North Van on father’s day. We’ll be taking it down to Seattle for the Western Washington Firebirds All Pontiac show in mid-August and then finish off the show season with the All GM Motorama in Vancouver (Canada) the last sunday of August.

If you're in the pacific northwest, I hope you try to make it to one of these evernts, if so, find me and introduce yourself, thanks again, Mike
