    Default I'm Back, But Not in Black This Time!

    Hey All,
    I usually don't post much, just more of a lurker, but I'm so excited that I had to this time. Back 22 months ago I sold my last G8 (PBM GT) in order to place a larger down payment on a brand new house and regretted it like I never thought I would. It was the right thing to do, but damn we were all heartbroken. Even the Wife! I've been telling myself that I'd be back in another someday and that day was last Friday! I found this Stryker Blue Premium Sport beauty with 27,500 miles and in immaculate condition on the internet and the next thing I knew I was racing 400 miles home at 1am to swoop her up before anyone else could. This was always my favorite color and I've only ever seen one other in person so there was no way I was letter her go. Figured out the finances with wifey while on the road and was driving off the lot at 1:30pm. Couldn't be happier!!! She's in perfect condition, still smells new, and as soon as my girls saw it there was some whispering and they asked me if they could name it Blue Devil. It's awesome to be able to connect with them this way, they love it as much as I do and can't wait to get to work with me. I washed and loved on it for about 4 hours early Saturday morning then cruised around Temecula and the surrounding back roads all day.

    Not sure what my plans are with her at the moment, but I cant leave well enough alone so I'm sure there will be more to come.

    No homemade mufflers on this one, I'm surprised you remember that. It's already got an x-pipe and Flowmasters.

    Well I'm convinced this car belonged to someone on the forums. Just go under it for the first time and saw that its got the mid-muff delete with x-pipe, pup cats are gone and a Flowmaster axle back with Helmholtz tubes spliced in. I'd be cool to know whos it was so I can thank them for taking such good care of it.
