I'm 19, I bought the Pontiac off my parents, I can understand how someone might think it was your parents' car. Almost all of the people I see driving Bonnevilles are either middleaged or older. Most of my friends drive beater Hondas, Toyotas, etc. My car is a welcome change. Most people mistake it for a more expensive car, it'* easy to work on and fairly powerful.

I doubt you will get an accurate reading on the average age of the Bonneville owner here, I'm guessing we are mostly young guys here on this site.

FYI SSEi'* have a speed limiter at 126. Welcome to the forum.

For those keeping count, here are the statistics thus far:

-Number of respondants: 36
-Average age (arithmetic mean): 23.9 yrs
-Youngest: 16 yrs
-Oldest: 45 yrs
-Median: 20.5 yrs
-Quartile 1: 19 yrs
-Quartile 3: 26.5 yrs
-Standard Deviation: 2.8 yrs

In other words, we're generally a young bunch, with a few older, wiser outliers. I suspect the perponderance of young folk on the board is due to the penchant of 20-somethings to use the internet more than baby-boomers. Thoughts?

Hey Jeff, if I ever have a math question I'm asking YOU!

Boy! I feel OLD hanging around all you young people! I'm 38 and have had my 92 SE "Bone-Evil" for 2 years now! Before that I had a 87 LeSabre LTD for 4 years before that! I was first drawn to "H" bodies by my dad'* 86 Parisiene with 3800 FWD back in 86! I used it alot to travel to the next town to visit my girlfriend back then!

I"m 36, I had no option but to wait till now to afford a bonneville SSEi. An uncle bought one and I had wanted one ever since. this one works just fine...$125.00 fine...Damn caught again!

I am 21, I love my 97 SSE, it is by far the nicest car I have ever had. plus it is invisible to cops!

I have a hunter Green Bonneville that I got in November 1994 (it was a 93, with 22,000). I was 18 when I got it. In winter, when I put the steel wheels and snow tires on, it looks like an undercover cop car, especially since I put a set of high intensity driving lights behind the grille!!!!

19 here. Proud owner of a 93 SSE which I have had since I was 16. I fell inlove with the Bonnevilles when I looked at a parent'* friend'* 92 SSEi, but when that sale fell through, I searched for another. bought the 93 with 104,000 mi on it and 3 years later it is running strong with 140,xxx mi on it. I have a couple friends who have SE'*, but other than them, it is all old people driving them around here... and I have only gotten my car to 107. anyone know if there is a speed limiter?

Yup, there'* a speed limiter. The exact speed at which it governs varies by model; check out http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=196 for details.
