Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I took my dad's G6 GT out to the movies and was doing doughnuts with the E-brake in a movie theater parking lot next to an empty cop car he never saw me though but it was fun!

Well a $250 car is bettter then walkin with the 250 in your pocket. Dont find many deals like that around here....

Weather stupid here... it was in the 60's yesterday and by 11pm it was almost 30deg... Gotta love this global warming.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

hey my car is harder to doughnut thx to stiffer suspension... to me the G6 has bad handling, but it could just be because im used to mine. Or maybe I have no concept of handling abilities at all?

That's not Good!

So doing doughnuts in your fathers G6. I still have yet to do that in my 6. I did manage to pull off an impressive burnout today... I produced enough smoke that the interior was filled up that I had to open my windows to clear it out.

a $250 dollar car... The only place you can find that is on ebay, with a non working engine and 300,000 miles... oh wait THEY even go for more then that!

Man, Im still deciding on what car I want!!

cause now im like... Oh miata (in a non-ghey way)

Just save money for an engine build from flyin miata plus their insane turbo setup to go along with it... that is a flyin miata

I'd invest into a hardtop though, no convertable for me

It's a morph between the marshmellow man(ghostbusters) and the michelin tire man.

You like that snow Vipey ?

I have about 4" up here, had a blast this morning in the GT... oh, and then in the truck in these big empty parking lots.


Gir , you still havnt figured out what to get ?
I have noticed you are looking into the import market.... they are gas misers .
I think that's what we all should be lookig toward, but it's not gonna happen for me.

Keeping busy to-day!

not completely import
been looking at a few used T/As as well, some nice, some crappy ... but all in all, still affordable...

I'm just trying to tie it into future, like what mods I want, what sort of car I want. big/small .. v8 NA? 4cycl Turbo? lol

Either way, Im going to baby it like crazy

Ive been looking more at some T/As, since I know pontiac at this point more than any other car... I still think about maybe the vr6 golf gti .. just cause its a really strong v6

ALSO, there are the LS1 04 GTOs available in the $20k cap price range

I've seen plenty done to an LS1 that can whip out a decent amount of power

That white dude looks like the Abominal Snowman doing a happy dance....

Gir a miata? Are you serious? I'm sorry... I just can't see it! I could see you in the VW more so then a Miata. What about an Acura RSX-S? My girls is fun to drive... when I take it out. They aren't terribly expensive and you can mod them within reason.
Speaking of GTO's I went to the Honda dealer yesterday to find a H emblem for the trunk for our civic... ( they want $25 bucks for that... Yeah RIGHT!) Anyways right across the street from the honda dealer is naturally a Pontiac/Buick/GMC. and they had a used Blue GTO for sale... OH MAN it looked sweet. Then off to the corner they had a new G6 GXP sedan... Not bad looking... It would look better without the sticker saying "sporty and luxury" on the windshield.

Well it's snowing yet again here. we're only expected to get about an inch.... but it's all good!

Well I'm off and running!!!!

Yea I have some miata love... it can be pulled off if you do it right

just need a hardtop, 18/19" Rims w/ sleek performance tires and a custom rear bumper with a different exhaust (HKS Ti Carbon Fiber)

Ill get pics of my friend's setup when I can.. his is that dark british green with a black hard top and metallic golden brown rims sorta like the STi have but different... very lightweight also... he has the cat-back exhaust w/ the HKS Ti muffler and a Typhoon Short ram intake... its eh 'Decent' when you actually look at it. It takes away the perspective of... Its a miata.

hmm... but yea, still skimming options even though I have a while before I plan on buying...
