Two Bonnies - One Bonnie = Sad
Its a sad day for me, but I sold Clyde (2004 GXP) due to too much engine work that I couldn't do myself. He had an oil leak that led to a massive splotch on my garage floor. I just didn't have the time to fix the problem. Bonnie (a 1996 SSE) had TWO top end rebuilds (the notorious oil-antifreeze gasket problem that many members here helped me with) before I called it a day on her a few years back. Sadly, I am now Bonnie-less. I dare you to guess what I replaced the GXP with. I was totally shocked myself but am so happy with the new wheels. I will always love my Two Bonnies. I only wish that the corporate pigs that killed Pontiac would go away so I could own another Bonneville. Hint: Its a Mazda 3 with the 184 hp manny-tranny.

Re: Two Bonnies - One Bonnie = Sad
Yeah, I know. I did really want a G8, but who has them? I looked at specs and performance across mid- and small- sided car and BOTH sucked! I drove at a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Subaru Impreza and just could not come up with a better money for value than the Mazda 3, sGT (2.5l). If only Pontiac was still alive... <sigh>.
