Its funny you mention that... A long time ago a good friends 87 Bonneville had that window lockout feature... But that was one of the only Bonnevilles I ever saw it in...

interesting... I should check my neighbour'* car then...

Isn't it weird....the lockout is on many cars but not bonnevilles.

They must have figured we were too high class to need the lock out feature.

I know this is my fault b/c i put flowmaster exhaust on....

I hate the drone in the exhaust at about 2k rpms. If you just leave it at 2k it just sounds like flat exhaust.. no rumble or baffle to it. So i learned how to drive accordingly..but when i first started it was pretty loud inside the car. I hide it now I for one, LOVE the cup holders! Theres soo many! haha
