New to the Pontiac Bonneville Club

Post by djdani3l10 »

Hey my names daniel im 17 years old.

My first car is the 2005 Pontiac Bonneville SE. (didnt like it at first but came with Dale Earnhardt racing rims and got a good deal)

At first i didnt think much of it more than just a car.

gets me from one place to the next.

but then the Bonneville grew on me. I realized it had potential, and a lot of power.

It started at lights against mustangs and acuras that i realized it had quite abit of power and was pretty fast.

Now im looking to finally start putting some money into it.

So i signed up for this forum for advice, ideas, and help.

Hello everyone. My name is Ken from south jersey. I was given this 99 bonneville from a retired coworker. It is a great car indeed. Stock of course no modding just a daily driver.
