You Bonneville guys are a funny bunch...
 

Hey all! I've decided to join your merry forum. You guys are freakin hilarious. I love your kills section. I find myself ROTFLMAO. I found your forum while checkin out Bonny's on Cardomain. I like to keep myself informed of most 4 doors. Yall sound like we do on the Impalassforum.com! I guess we're all 4 door, heavy riding freaks. I love a BIG 4 door that's fast. I still haven't gotten a race with a bonny. You definitely have the most comfortable seats and I want some. I guess people really love these cars cause I can't find many at junk yards and the ones that I find only have cloth seats. Well I just wanted to introduce myself.

HELLO BROTHERS & SISTERS...

Hey! We're not all men...just 99.999999...% of us! :lol:
Anyway, great to have you. My hubby and I seriously considered an Impala instead of our Bonneville...great cars. Stick around and maybe your next toy will be a Bonnie. :D

Oh, and as for the seats...good luck. Most SSEis and SSE/SLEs with options don't end up in junkyards because we can't bear to part with them. You may get lucky though...and you can post a request in the "Wanted" forum to see if anyone here has some...some of the people here are parting out their Bonnies.

welcome
and if it's not a bonnie...it's for sure an SS!

Yep us BC members pride ourselves in having THE BEST car forum on the internet.
Welcome to the Club, great to see someone who appreciates the atmosphere as much as I do.
Check out all the Kill Stories written by Burgundy Boat, all of them will make you fall out of your chair.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I may just take Hailey's advice and get one for my wife.She has a 92 Buick Lesabre that has gotten us through a lot of years and I want her replacement car to be just as good if not better. I would love for her to have a bonneville! Now, if I could just convince her. One major thing about the BIG cars is the safety. There's a lot of room to work with especially, after seeing some of these cheap cars in accidents. We have two boys 4 & 6 to think about also.
So, till I talk to yall again, make mine a Bonny & SS!

Nice to have you here HeavySS. Question: does your 95 have the shifter on the floor or was that only the following year?

that was only the 96's...

Welcome...gotta love the fast 4 doors.

SS, an H body is an H body. You're more than welcome here!

As far as the Imapala is concerned, I love 'em, and I'm damn glad to see them and the MC get the L67 now. Just saw the first commercial for it yesterday. I just wish they'd put the Impala front end on a Monte. No comparison.

Welcome!

The SS isn't an H body. 95/96 was the same as the larger RWD Caprice, whatever body it is, and the new ones are W body, I think.

But you are still more than welcome here. :wink:

I believe that your car was classified as B body. There were 3 mods to that chassis...the B, which was Caprice/Impala, the Parissiane (SP?), and the pre-86 Delta 88and Lesbre.
The D body was the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and the 98 Regency.

Great cars all!!!!!! Long live the BIG CARS!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Forum HeavySS! I've always been a big car owner too! The bonny is my first V6 ever. I bought it 5 1/2 years ago, the choice was between a 95 ImpalaSS and the bonny. The interior of the bonny won me over, especially the seats!!
BTW- when i bought the car the kiddies were 2 & 4. Their 7 & 9 now and love riding in the big black (fast) boat. :wink: (I dont now if i would attempt to race you tho) :lol:

Welcome to the club Heavy SS, the main thing is having fun and we do that very well.... :twisted:

Oops. I didn't see the pic. I assumed it was an H Impala!

I had that same body, too. A Buick Roadmaster with an LT1. Alas! That car got totalled. 10k of damage to the rear end alone. Now I drive a Bonneville, so I guess it wasn't ALL bad!

Welcome.. Impalas are definitely nice.. funny how it seems a lot of people are torn between Impalas and Bonnies. I don't mind the new Impalas.. but drool over the pre 96 LT1 RWD ones.. the only reason I didn't get it was cause I have a few friends and I at times will participate in street racing ( no.. only on industrial areas as so the public don't get hurt ).. and have and Impala would make a lot of people uneasy ( thinkin it's an undercover ) or worse.. havin people go talk to the undercover thinkin it was me. My choices were pre 96 Impala, Cadillac STS, and the Bonneville. I chose the Bonneville cause of Muffin ( AKA Tamara, Queen Bonneville ).

If you're wife and yourself wants a newer bonnie.. I would recommend 95+ N/A model with Series II.. or 96+ S/C'd model. If you can afford it.. 98+ S/C supposedly have re-enginieered heads that doesn't crack when you mod it. But since I don't think she'll want to mod it.. those would be good..
