How come you got rid of it? maybe I missed something......that thing is sweet!
A few reasons... Repainting the entire front end when I got the new hood was one of the worst things I ever did. I looked fantastic, but I hated driving it. You never realize how much crap flies at your car until you have a spotless front end. I hated the idea of getting a single chip in the new paint. The car was never my daily driver, so mostly it just sat in the garage while I finished up payments on it. At one point, it sat so long that it killed the battery to the point it wouldn't hold a charge. After replacing the battery, I started to wonder why I had a car that I loved, but really didn't enjoy. It was my own fault, just my own mind refusing to allow me to enjoy it.
Shortly after thinking it over, my daily beater punched a fist size hole through the block and I had to start driving the GTP everyday. I drove it two weeks and made the decision to sell it, since my last nerve got stomped on when I was trying to beat a severe thunderstorm home and got stuck in hwy traffic at a dead stop behind an accident while the storm rolled through. It got pelted with rain and high winds, but thankfully no hail which was my biggest concern. However, I made the decision then that I just couldn't bring myself to daily drive it. I needed a truck anyway, so I could use the money for that.
I loved the car, but don't really miss it since I rarely drove it anyway. I know it seems silly to those of you who daily your cars. I have owned a few classic cars and have that classic car mentality I guess. It never saw bad weather or winter unless it was unavoidable such as on the Power Tour.
I sold it to a guy a couple towns away. I see it quite a bit since he lives just a couple blocks from where my wife works. He drives it daily, but takes really good care of it. I'm just happy that someone bought it that appreciates it, enjoys it, and is taking care of it.
Car is splendid, both performance and looks...wow
