Why would you ever need fader controls on the steering wheel?

This was Pontiac’s idea of the future. Thankfully, it stayed in the past.

    Never been inside of one, but always thought they looked pretty decent. Those buttons on the steering wheel though…

  3. James says:

    Holy shit that fade button is freaking HUGE!!!
    Did they have a surplus of giant buttons that they just needed to blow through?

  4. Brandon says:

    I love the buttons. It’s unique, for sure.

    This was my high school car. 1989 sse bonniethang. I rode this car so hard. Twin infinity Kappa 12’s in the back. With a Kenwood thousand watt amp. Loudest car in Memphis TN in 1997-2001. Yea rode it hard and pit it up wet and ruined. Kids. The buttons are really cool for stereo guys and there was a equalizer so this was the cats meow when it came out. The compass was just for looks but crazy sophisticated for.back then. Keep this car the 3.8 ain’t bad either.

    This was my first car, and the best car I have ever owned. I loved my bonnie. She was midnight metalic blue, and I bought her in 1998, from an old man. She had 39000 miles on her, and I bought her for $3,900 cash. I was a senior in highschool in a Imperial Beach, CA. A little beachy town in San Diego. She had the comfy plush bench seat in the front, and I put in an Alpine cd player with a detachable face, 2 Pioneer 6×9’s in the back, 2 JBL Audio 10’s in the trunk with a Rockford Fosgate Amp. You could hear me coming a mile away. I had a hawaiian lay in the front mirror and my car smelled like vanilla and me (sunflowers by elizabeth arden) I thought I was hot stuff. lol. I road all over san diego in my baby, until I had to sell her because she was falling apart, years later, and I couldn’t afford the fix. I really loved that car.
