I've been hoping to trade my 81 Firebird Esprit for a G8 GT for some time, but I blew the engine this past summer and its still in about 400 pieces all over the garage, and the body setting outside all winter, yes its bad, as its a very solid car with awesome factory metal, though I did have to patch the toe-boards on each side. So I was loving that noisy thing till a cracked head brought the whole shebang to an inglorious halt.
Long story short, I have 18 year old twin daughters who think their calling in life is to run the wheels off the nicest vehicle we own, an 07 Grand Prix,,,, so we've been down a vehicle, and I've been looking for a nice "family car".
Yesterday we met another couple from southern Obamastan and purchased their Ignition Orange Metallic V-6 car!
As we are pulling in to the bank parking lot where we agreed to meet and purchase the car, I point the G8 out to the Honey Badger, (who was thinking Hugger Orange), yeah, I'd love that too, but one look at this chick and she's like is that it?? Well one of the twins was also along, and for the three of us, it was love at first sight...
I have driven several G8s including a V-6 car new 8 years ago, but this this just flat runs, I mean it screams, and handles, and drives like a performance car ought too,,,, one daughter wanted to know if it was a BMW.
We are all just loving this thing, and I'm going to be trying to finish the 400 rebuild and get my old bird back together to send down the road, so I can trade it for a V-8 car, but hey, this thing is awesome, and I am really surprised with just how NICE it is.
