Thought I'd post this now before the guy picks it up tomorrow, because I won't be able to handle doing it then.
Good bye, my dear friend. A little photo journey for fun:
First day I brought it home:
Found the Bonneville Forums (GB you all) and was bitten by the mod bug:
First major repair: Sunroof drain tubes. Who would have known the TMNT were making a nest?
Test for leaks!
Preparation for its new look, gold lace rims:
Cleaned up, repainted, mounted:
Oooh! VHT!
Of course the various ONBF'*!
Emblems were pretty ugly, cleaned up and new overlays
Time for a polish!
New to me steering wheel:
Fast forward a bit, Torque Star rims, its second new look:
Sickens me to sell it, but I've enjoyed every crazy minute of my four year ride with this great car. Real nice older couple bought it, so I think it'll be looked after well. I don't want to sell it, but it hurts more to see it sit in the driveway and not being enjoyed. Maybe I can buy it back in a few years?
Cheers Bonnesaurus, I'll miss you.
Cheers to all of you on this great forum. I've met a lot of new friends, and will stay in touch despite not being a Bonnie owner!

I bought a 2006 G6 a few weeks ago and the Bonnie has been just sitting in my driveway. It hurts to sell it, but it hurts more to see it just sit there. I gave it a good wash today before the guy came to look at it, so it'll leave on a clean high note!

This is why a lot of us own GM'*. They might not be the most reliable cars on the road, but they have personality, and as much as we can, we love them. They mean a lot to us. They aren't just beaters with heaters. Its about enjoying your car every minute you own it, through thick and thin.

Grrr,
Buyers so far have been a no-show this evening. No phone call, no email, no kiss my a$$.
Nothing like toying with my emotions! Here I had myself all prepared to say good bye to it, and they don't even bother to call!
I'll keep you posted.
