So the whole sleeper effect doesn't apply in my eyes. I'll know what you are when you show up for NEBF'*

but when someone sees the less sporty front bumper with the fogs appart near the ground...they assume it is a lower model.

I gotta side with Bill on this one. While I love my Bonneville and know the differences, they typically don't get the looks that your F or W bodies do (excepting maybe the 2000+ models).
Being from a backround where having a good working vehicle came before flash and dash, I would vote for keeping the good, low mileage, sweet looking (fast) car you have for now. Especially while you are a student. JMO, you asked.

Started right up for me. you younger guys apparently never had to mow a lawn.. (5 of them can't start a simple lawn tractor)
Simply..95% of the people that see my car don't think or say how cool it is..or anything about it being supercharged. They really just don't notice any differences in the models.
