    I was into the coupe GTP's for a while then I remembered when the 04+ GP came out and thought it looked sexy like hell . I test drove one and was in love . I ended buying a 05 GTP CompG off the showroom floor at carmax with 35k miles and in immaculate condition ive own it for 3 years now and has 75k miles and still enjoy driving it every day.

    GP.... Bonneville and Regal.

    A buddy told me how comfy and good fuel mileage the Bonnies could be. Then I got the SSEi and oh yeaaaaah

    every time I saw a grand prix (96+) i always wanted one. A guy was going to sell me a red 99 GTP Coupe for $800 but it needed tons of rust work and didnt even have an exhaust on it. Then I found the one i have now.. a 98 purple GT Coupe. and basically just fell in love x)

    My dad had a nice green 01 se that he had for about 10 years. I remember when I was 8 years old going to get it and I didnt know what a gp looked like only sunfires so I was expecting that so when we got the car I thought damn this thing looks awesome. I loved how the body lines looked and how it was just clawing at the road. 10 years later I got my license in that car but always wanted a GT or GTP. Now I have one.

    When i was 15 I took a trip alllll the way from illinois to texas in a gtp. Since the population was low and no one was around me and my buddy were able to take his uncles gtp around the block. I thought it was super smooth. Loved it. Got a 86 silverado as my first vehicle lol after a year I decided to rebuild it cuz the frame was rusted out. So I did. Classic chevy engine so I did a cam and what not. Bought a jeep as a temp car for 200 bucks cuz it had 2 bent pushrods. Then I had a kid and needed to save money so I sold the jeep and bought a 96 grand am SE. Nice car but I fricken HATED that when ppl sat behind me I basically had to scoot my seat as far foward as I could for the passenger to be comfortable. So I'm thinking this sucks. I need a sedan that has a little more balls to it and much more roomy. That's when I remembered the gp would be perfect. But if I was gonna get something newer it had to be nice. So I got the 02 gtp. Only thing it doesn't have is heated seats but idc.

    I had a 94 SSEi Bonne, with the Series I SC 3800. Comfy car, but I wanted more power, easier modding, and newer. Got the 99 GTP when it came in as a trade in at the dealership, went to the owner and told him I wanted it. Drove it home that day

    I knew about the GTPs from a Bonnie forum and really liked them, being early 20s it just screamed at me. My next jump would be a GTO or a 02 TA, I miss RWD and 6spd gear box. But the GTP is paid for and modding is about to commence, so dreams will have to wait, I got to make it FASTA!

    I liked the black one I had, but dislike my current one.

    I'm stupid and I'm tired of these cars.

    I had a 1990 Buick LeSabre given to me as my first car, then later bought my Dad's 1991 Olds Eight-Eight, both had the series 1 3800, owned them for a combined 10+ years with very little mechanical problems. So when it was time to retire the 88 and get something new in 2008 the only thing I liked the looks of with a 3800 engine was the GP. In hindsight I think I should of ignored the reliability of the 3800 engine and got a turbo Cobalt and hoped for the best.
