Default More fun with aftermarket vendors

As I always get a kick out of the misinformation and misunderstanding of the Bonneville line (or any car line for that matter), and in the interest of giving all of you a chance to laugh at, and ridicule if necessary, these faux pas too...

I'll list one I just saw this morning:
Shock Absorber
Brand: Monroe Sensa-Trac Shock-Absorber, Front, Sold Individually, Position Sensitive Dampening For Drivers Who Want Greater Handling And Increased Comfort, Groove Tube Technology For A Smoother Ride In A Wide Range Of Driving Conditions
Location: Front

FITS(chassis)
2003 Pontiac Bonneville
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, Supercharged, VIN "1", Bonneville, SE, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, VIN "K", Bonneville, SE, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, Supercharged, VIN "1", Bonneville, SLE, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, VIN "K", Bonneville, SLE, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, Supercharged, VIN "1", Bonneville, SSEi, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
3.8L, V6, Gas, Fuel Injected, VIN "K", Bonneville, SSEi, Sedan, Coupe & Hardtop
Post ones that you find humerous.

Good to see you are looking into some maintenance items... add on the Energy Suspension endlinks while you are there.

Because your original topic makes it a lounge post. Suggesting a maintenance item keeps it in General....
