You probably have both the cassette and the dual zone climate controls equipped on your car.

Also, '02 is the last year for those headrests, and the first year the passenger side front door lacked a keyhole on the door handle. :wink:

This site is full of so many awesome cars, and people. Have been part of so many other forums, and none have the solid group of people that run this one. I'm happy just to have been nominated :bwoohoo:

Good Luck to others:)

Are you interested in having your Bonneville be the next months COTM? It's easy to get there. The Admin/Mod staff will search through recent postings every month in the Your Ride: Pics and Videos section and candidates will be posted for public voting. The winner's car will be posted on the front page of this site. Here are some of the basic rules you must follow to be nominated as a COTM candidate:

1) Only 3800 or Northstar powered Bonnie/Grand Prix(H & W Body ),Buick( H & C Body ) or Oldsmobile( H,C,G & W Body ) cars can win. No other makes or models are eligible

2) A minimum of 4 pictures (640 x 480 or bigger) are required due to the format guidelines on the front page. (be creative)

3) Although it will not be a requirement to host the pictures in our own gallery, it is strongly recommended. Winning rides will have their pictures added to a special COTM picture archive in the gallery.

4) No photoshoped pictures will be chosen, although cropping and sizing are allowed.

Rules and guidelines are subject to change by that staff at any time. Decisions are made solely by the staff, and staff decisions are non negotiable.

Good luck!
:P

thanks for the support! for all the problems i have had with it, i like the car for what i know it is supposed to be. the grand prix wheels were a good addition, and the fact that the body and paint were in pretty good shape when i bought it really helps. i would like to get around to installing the cold air intake and free breathing exhaust...and a few other mod i have read about on here, maybe this spring if not sooner. still working out some annoying bugs for now. the car is 20 years old, so it should be headed for classic car status, but is still stylish enough to take out on the town. :wink:
