Southwest Missouri Drivers??

[Chrisu23]

I just joined but i look at this site all the time but never ever see anyone from southwest missouri. However i see new G8's popping up everywhere. Just wondering if anyone is on here?

Welcome to the board, I've been on here for a while, since last April owner since May 26.

Which G8 are you? Locally I have seen a couple - a White GT with 19 sport package by Nat & Battlefield, a Gray GT with black/red pinstriped wheels out by Kickappo, the only GXP in town (black), a white Base model, or the Red GT with black 20s. My wife keeps ours as a daily driver, while Im stuck in the mush boat (Crown Vic) til I finally come out from my under-employement(I have a Masters Degree in History from a World Ranked Uni in Aus. and unable to find anything but mowing grass for a paycheck). Keep an eye out for the Stryker GT with red calipers, watchout her right foots longer than her left.

I am the one with black and red wheels. I do go to Kickapoo. I havent seen the stryker but would love to because i think they are amazing. There is also a gray GXP that I have seen on this side of town before the winter. Pretty sure the person lives down the street from my friend. Also the red with black 20's resides by my house but have never talked to him. What mods do you have? And do you know anyone else on the board from around here?

I live in Joplin. Although, I do come to Springfield fairly often. I have a 2009 GT Stryker with 20" Boss Wheels.

Man i would love to see one. I have not seen one in person. You ever come down to Springfield?

I live in Joplin. Although, I do come to Springfield fairly often. I have a 2009 GT Stryker with 20" Boss Wheels.

My wife's friends say they saw our car around town, but then noticed that it had different wheels so it must not have been ours. I believe I've seen your G8 in Spld on Primrose across town by Target. The stryker blue was and still is the best color to have out of the G8 color selection, sure can find it within the sea of blacks, whites, grays, silvers and a few reds. It was the only color I would have bought for 2009, and Orange would have been my 2008 selection. I really would have given up all my modding and probably saved $$$ I told my wife if we would have gotten a GXP stryker (one of 55 in the lower 48, the 56th is in Hawaii) she almost agreed.

*So if anyone out there is going to sell there GXP A6 anytime in the next 6 years with reasonable mileage send me a PM.*

Met the GXP match the other day at the local Audi dealership, really wanted this one but reliablity and serviceablity $$ would have killed me. This week they got they got a 2003 rs6 on trade and the next day sold it, not suprised when the sales manager puts it for that price. Had less than 40K on the clock, new tires, dealer full service, new brakes, local driven for only 28k. That would have been the only car besides the GXP that I would have traded my gt on. 2010 Mustang drawing my interest but who wants a four letter F word in their driveway and couldn't live with a car that Joe Blow and others down the street have the same one.

I would trade the gt on a rs6 any day of the week. Beautiful car and for that price of course it was gone quick. If your going to buy a mustang you should for sure wait till next year and get the 400+ hp. It is going to be an awesome car.

Mistake...Really meant 2011 Stang bring on 412hp, but like others say its a little "emo". In three years or so, the new production stang will leave you second guessing yourself in the choice of a two door car, the 2010 Camaro sort-of brings up idea of sorry to say "white trash" (what drug deal doesn't have a 90s camaro busted by COPS) if it wasn't for the $40k price tag. The new camaro has a very cartoonish look, its awesome to a point and in time will become a box van isore (sorry to SS owners). G8 has a "sleeper" look and you can haul five full-size (6.5 ft tall and room to spare) adults without a problem, as in the words displayed of a fellow fourm member's G8 "Member of the Four Door Mafia."

[Chrisu23]

Yeah that mustang is going to be really nice but it will become the new camaro where you see 2 or 3 everytime you go anywhere. Totally agree with the sleeper look. I love watching people try to figure out where the exhaust sound is coming from at stop lights. If you get a blue gxp I will for sure have to see that in person.

Yeah, that was probably me... I was doing pharmacy rotations in Springfield during September and October, at Select Specialty Hospital and Cox South. I was also in Springfield on Friday March 19 in the evening.
