No i didn't get it because of Transformers...

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

No i didn't get it because of Transformers...

Post by John Deere Boy »

But i may call it Bumblebee from time to time. I ordered it February 18, and picked up this Monday. Whew, what a car! 81 miles on the clock right now. Bonnie is too dirty at the moment to have got it out for a group shot, but I will before long.

2SS/RS, stick, leather, 426hp.

My prediction is that it'll have 162 miles on it by this time next year! :P

Looks real nice, Farmer.

:btruestory: hehe. I'm gonna try to put 1500-2000 miles on it a year. The bonneville has been getting 3000 a year so it'll be a challenge. :twisted:

The new Camaros have a HUD!? I did not know that. Perhaps their stock shall raise a little with me (but not too much)...

Why so low of miles? I put more miles in three weeks than you do in an entire year.

If I had a Camaro like that, you bet your heinie it'll get driven as much as I can.

sooooooo jealous!! My only question is how is the seat comfort as compared to the Bonne??
2000 SSEi (Silver Eagle) cleared corners (before accident) new LIM gasket, drilled 180 T-stat, new plugs and wires, new valve cover gaskets, new Supercharger gasket, third brake light overlay. Hopefully soon to start more mods for performance. Also, 2005 White SE totally stock and will remain that way!

The Camaro seat bottom is as nice or slightly nicer than the Bonneville, but the seat back of the Bonneville is better. The side bolsters of the Camaro are a bit too small and too wide to grasp my thorax. Made to accommodate 300lb people i'm sure.

But get this: the Camaro has more leg room!!!! Wow...i don't even have to push the seat all the way back. I did have to give up a sunroof because my head touches the headliner in sunroof cars.

I had another good surprise when i went to get it insured: $640/year full coverage, $100 comp deductible, $250 collision. Heck, i pay almost $400/year for liability only on the bonneville.

I need to drive a Camaro. The only time I've sat in one was at a car show with the batt disconnected, and I was cramped as hell.
