I had a Grand Prix for a long time. Best car I ever owned, until I got rear ended.

I have yet to see a Sky in the KC/Liberty area. I work with a guy who has a base model Sol, I saw a white one running around, and apparently there a blue one running around Liberty as well.
One of the things I've really enjoyed about this car is that it is rare enough that I don't experience the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon with it. Every other car I have ever purchased... I begin seeing it absolutely everywhere as soon as it is mine. I'm always mindful to look for them while I'm out and about but they are nowhere to be found. |

I love the Fiero and it looks damn good in black. Was that a photo of your old car or was that a random photo to show us that it looked like?

I don't want it THAT much. Have you done work to the Firebird or is it in the same condition as when you bought it? |

Did some real minor mods. New Ram Air box, new Ram Air hood with 4-port heat extractors. Some basic suspension improvements. Billstein shocks, BMR springs etc. Nothing too major. |

Had a 00 Trans Am Ws6 right out of high school. Was great for cruising. And with t-tops the ladies could get on top. Had it lowered, 3.73 gears, built tranny (is a 4l60 ever really built lol) and had a 408 stroker built to go in. Traded it for a trail blazer SS with a spun main. That was a wicked ride too but not a white trash Ferrari like my T/A was.
I was topping my Trans Am out on the way home from cruising memorial in Tulsa. I passed an OHP int he opposing lane while doing 160ish (speedo went to 150 and it was buried and still gaining). My butthole puckered to say the least. One of my favorite cars was my wife's 09 G8 GT. Put whatever was the popular CAI, cat back and a tuner on it and had a ****ing blast. Such under rated cars. I hit 140 in 4th with two gears to go. I never tried it any faster but always wondered how much more it had. There's a special place in my heart for Pontiacs. |

They had a cool carbon fiber body and mine had a little tiny chunk about the size of a quarter taken out of the door where the first owner had somehow broken it off. Whenever I see a picture of a black one like this, I always peer at the spot on the door to see if it might be mine. It wasn't noticeable unless you knew where to look, so I figure that no subsequent owner would have replaced the entire door to fix it. |

I have an 06 GTO 6spd in spice red metallic. Very few of those made and I don’t drive it too often. It just chills in the garage.
I recently replaced the water pump, alternator, belts, tensioners, and coolant. I took my time over the weekend to complete it. Car cruises but does have some gitty up. My son loves it when I pick him up from school in it. They can hear me coming. |

I almost traded my trail blazer SS for a GTO with a Maggie blower. I drove his, he didn't even bother to drive mine. I handed him keys and the title. He handed me keys and .... a rebuilt Katrina title. I was 20 and he was 18. He worked at a BMW dealership in OKC I threatened to kick his ass and make a scene on the showroom floor and he reluctantly handed the keys back over. Always wanted a yellow one.
