Any So Cal G8 owners here?

[JoeSyko]

Maybe it's because I don't drive all over town for a living but I've only seen 3 G8s on the road since they first hit the streets.

Is it cuz all of California's on this Prius kick or what? :qf:

Post here if you're a So Cal G8 owner and proud of it. :thumbsup:

Mine is the Stealth Blue. Or as I now call it... BLURPLE. Be nice to get some pictures of the 2 blues together. Maybe we could get a meet together one of these weekends. I'm game if anyone else is.

A So Cal G8 Cruise is being planned over on the G8board forums by Mike Haddad.

It's planned for this Sunday thru the Malibu canyons.

If any of you guys are interested, here's the thread: http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6217

(hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting that link. If one of the moderators lets me know, I'll edit my post.)

[GPDAN]

yeah i'll be there on sunday. are any you guys going?

[DRAPER]

ya i should be going cant wait to see everyones cars.. im gonna be jealous to see everyones modd g8s haha... but i cant wait!

[phlydude]

Curious if any of you guys in SoCal have put in your car to be used as a test car by Edelbrock?
If picked, they keep your car for 3-5 days, give you a loaner and you get to keep the parts for free.

Not a bad deal if you ask me

[JoeSyko]

I checked their website and it doesn't look like they are looking for a G8 at this time. Here's the list of vehicles they are looking for:

Year Make Model
58-64 Chevy Impala/Biscayne (348-409 V8)
67-69 Chevy/Pontiac Camaro/Firebird With V8
70-81 Chevy/Pontiac Camaro/Firebird With V8
08-09 Dodge Challenger
66-74 Dodge Charger (383 or 440)
05-09 Ford Mustang GT (4.6L)
64-67 Ford Mustang, Falcon, Ranchero, Comet
68-70 Ford Mustang, Cougar, Ranchero, Fairlane
68-74 Plymouth Road Runner (383 or 440)
67-74 Plymouth Satelite, Sebring, Super Bee, Belvedere (383 or 440)
70-74 Plymouth Barracuda, Challenger (383 or 440)

But you are right... not a bad deal. A loaner and free parts. Pretty sweet.

Sweet. Welcome to the group. There will no doubt be some future SoCal G8 cruises coming up so I hope you can make it.

I used to live in Chino. I sold my house in Creekside 2 1/2 years ago and moved to the mid west. I bought my G6 from Rio Rancho, and Speedway muffler put an exhaust on it. The 1st G6 with Magnaflows.
My office was in Industry on Gale near Azusa.

I don't have a G8, and I'm in Chicago right now, but I'm moving to San Diego within a month. I'm taking my car with me, and until I get residency there and are forced to register my car in California, I'm keeping my not-so-emission-testing friendly exhaust on. :devil: It passes the test here, but that's just an OBDII scan, and I don't throw any codes with my current tune. So if anyone sees an obnoxiously loud silver SS rolling around in the next few months, feel free to stop me for a chat. :) (As long as my car wasn't too obnoxious that is.)

[BigRob]

White Hot G8 GT!!! Hit me up! im down for a cruise!:woohoo:

Pacific Slate Metallic in San Diego

[JoeSyko]

Nice color choice. I've been dying to see that color in person & up close. Only seen it in pictures so far.

Hope you enjoy your new ride and hopefully we can get some SoCal runs up & going soon so you can represent the Pacific Slate. :)

[Filterman]

I'll put my Ignition Orange GT in the mix...think we can cover all the color choices and take a group pic? How about a run to Julian for some smoked pork and apple pie:)

You're lucky, your driving against the flow of traffic. I used to drive from Haven to Azusa Blvd. off the 60.

'09 MGM GT in San Diego.

Hey BigRob, have you ever driven through Rancho San Diego? Specifically sometime in mid-december 2008? If you're who I think you are, you're the reason I decided on getting the G8 over a '09 Maxima - Sweet White Hot GT flying through Jamacha Rd.

[BigRob]

How about a Saturday sometime in Feb??
