Maybe this is old news to some of you, but I saw someone pulled over yesterday morning on highway 11 Northbound, about 10 minutes from Barrie. The cop was in one of these: ![http://www.allautoreviews.com/auto_reviews/pontiac/photos/bonneville%203.jpg](http://www.allautoreviews.com/auto_reviews/pontiac/photos/bonneville%203.jpg) It was green, but of course had the typical dark tint. I cant remember if theywere aluminum wheels. Anyways, heads up, dont know if they’re down your way or not. I also hear many places have taken delivery of their new Chargers… I wonder if they’ll be using more Bonnevilles too. ---

Haha…that’s because matt photoshopped it himself! What a goof… I’m going to agree though, the older SS’s are where it’s at…rwd. A little chunky, but definately pimp. These new ones look too…ehhh…maybe I just don’t like any new car designs. :? ---

Well, it’s 40 years newer, weighs about 200lbs less, is faster 0-60 but will still get beat in a drag by it’s grandfather. It really looks an awful lot like a bit of every not-american car out there.
