    Hey everyone,

    My name is Paul and I'm a senior at MSU in advertising. I recently sold my cobalt ss/sc and have been tossing around what car to buy. I went from a Wrx to a whole bunch and fell in love with the g8. I wanted a manual and that's what made me shy away from the g8 gt but after hearing it cammed I fell in love with it.

    I am also on 600rr.net as the same username and own a 2003 600rr that is my pride and joy and won bike of the month over there.

    I know I don't actually own a g8 but I got on here to find a well taken care of car that has been loved unlike 99% of the cars on CL.

    I love cars and hope to work for a car company someday and have been looking at every car for a long time tryin to decide what I want next. So looks like its going to be a g8 so I hope to find a good deal that's been well taken care of and is ready to venture to some car shows once spring rolls around in the next two months.

    Here was my 300c that I bought stock and modified.


    And sold it for this because I wanted a sports car
    2006 cobalt ss/sc that was an impulse buy and bought almost stock and modified with tint, stereo and plasti dipped wheels.


    And here is my 03 600RR that is modified

    Welcome Paul!
    Very nice 600. I went through my share of sport bikes over the years. My very first was a 1992 CBR600F2. http://www.motorcycle-fairing.eu/med...ry/600f2_2.jpg
    I progressively upgraded after that. Now I don't get on them ..like to cruise more than sport ride now.

    You will find that G8 just keep your eyes open.
