New member, '90 SE my first Pontiac
 

Hi guys,

New here and I thought I would check in...

Just traded my '92 ford 150 pickup for a '90 Bonneville SE yesterday.

I will be using it as a daily driver commuter vehicle, the gas mileage on the pickup was killin' me.

This is my first Pontiac even though I have been a fan of them for years.

I have only driven it about 50 miles so far but I must say I am very impressed with it so far.

Very quiet and smooth and seems to handle pretty good considering there are no mods to it.

I will be hanging around here and hope to learn a lot about my new baby.

Heres a few pics...

good call

looks good though welcome to the club and enjoy

Thanx for the warm welcome...

The car is pretty clean but does really need new paint and a few other pieces replaced.

Grill is cracked, and there is a hole in the panel surrounding the rear lic plate, and the fog lights under the front bumper look like they might have hit a curb, they're broken and bent upward.
Also the tail lights look a little ratty. It's what I would call a 20 foot car LOL.
It's presentable enough though, I don't have to be ashamed to show up in it anywhere.

Yes it does have hood pins. :roll:
Tthe hood latch does not work, it looks like the hood might have blown open at one time. There is a crease about 18 inches in from the back of the hood on each side.
It is hard to see unless you know it is there.

So I will probably replace the hood (and latch of course) before getting it painted.

I checked my RPO Code decal and I do have both these codes, I'm guessing this is a good thing.

Here is a pic of the RPO Code decal...

Anybody care to decode some of these for me?

I drove the car to work today, about 30 miles each way on the turn pike,
and again I must say, I am very impressed with this car.
Quiet, smooth and it seems very powerful for a six banger.
I'll have to be careful driving it, I'd be cruising along at what seems 65-70 MPH and look down at the speedo and see that I was doing 85-90 MPH,
like I said very smooth and quiet. :D
