That surprises me. Does anyone in San Diego own a G8?

There's a few. The G8 is a rare bird here in So Cal. I see maybe 1 a month not including our G8 get-togethers.

there are 3 gt's and 2 gxp's that i see at the Naval Station regularly. other than that, i haven't seen any. i'm in my home town right now, small town in southwest kansas and there are 2 gt's and 1 gt on a dealers lot (asking 31k for it) and there is only 30k people that live here.

Hey guys, I'll be in San Diego next weekend for the Bengals game. :) Any Chargers fans down there?? Should be a hell of a game! I think we're staying about 15 miles outside of town...my buddy set up one dinner @ Flemmings (either attached or walking distance to the hotel) and a nice sushi joint another night. What is a "must see" while we're out there?

Balboa Park. On tuesdays there is no charge to enter the museums. Old Town is fun too. San Diego Zoo. Sea World.

While I can't speak for G8 owners in San Diego, I've seen G8 GTs and base G8s in different areas of SO Cal but haven't seen any GXPs yet.

I'm staying at the U.S. Grant which is in the Gaslamp district.


MEXICO!!! hahhaha... j/kNice plates!


Balboa Park. On tuesdays there is no charge to enter the museums. Old Town is fun too. San Diego Zoo. Sea World.Thanks for the tip also. I'm going to SeaWorld for the FIRST time on the 26th. First theme park I take my G8 to. I'm praying for no door dings since I've been super careful since the day I drove her off the lot in June!!!


While I can't speak for G8 owners in San Diego, I've seen G8 GTs and base G8s in different areas of SO Cal but haven't seen any GXPs yet.I have seen both GTs and V6s since June...but it's only been a handful too. I was CLOSE to seeing a GXP...but missed the event :(

San Diego is an awesome town! We stayed @ the La Jolla Hyatt (with all the players). Had dinner @ Japengo's (sp) twice, Flemings, hit the casino, the bay & the stadium. You socal guys don't realize how good you've got it! It was 30 & snowing when I returned to Cincy!! I'll be returning soon with the wife. :)

Sorry I missed your post....would have tried to make it down for a meet & greet. Big time Chargers fan here....what a great game huh? We play Tennessee on Christmas Day...they're playing good right now. Here's hoping we can continue our streak. I want this to be our year.

I worked on North Island for a while about 6 years ago and I remember a lot of fast cars on that base. Lemoore and China Lake too. Also,a shit ton of bikes. Must have something to do with the pilots not being able to go fast enough!

I saw a white g8 v6 one today. I live in Oceanside by camp pendleton and drive all over sd for work daily and I probably see a g8 maybe once a week if that. Not very many for sure. I see Camaros by the dozen though. Its kinda cool to have a rare breed of cars not some over populated beamer or camaro.

Saw a Sport Metallic Red GXP in the Imperial Beach Commissary parking lot last Sunday. Had to do a double take and make my husband drive to the other lane just so I could be sure. :) Anyone from here???
