Davemac, gotcha on the observations aspect.

I have a similar story to your 02 Bonny. My first Pontiac was an 89 GP SE (back when SE was the top level). I loved it and kept it for 5 1/2 years and 110,000 miles. I traded it in for a 95 Monte Z34. It was OK, but I enjoyed the Pontiac more. So after a little over 2 years I bought a 97 GTP and had it for 6 great years until getting the OO 04.

Just to comment on the key issue, I have a ton of keys on my keychain, and I don't notice the rattle at all. I guess it's in the ear of the beholder :p
