Whats going on everybody! Ive been posting a little bit but i haven't gotten to introduce my self yet.
The names Shawn, i work 72 hours a week as an EMT - currently in school full time to become a Paramedic. I also volunteer for my rural Fire Protection District.
My other half and I recently went to the dealership a buddy of mine referred me to (hes a deputy who knows the manager very well) and got a pretty good deal on a 2004 Grand Prix GT with only 90k miles on it.
The owner before me had already put a scepter short ram intake in it, and painted the engine cover appropriately. But for some reason they painted the outer edges of the headlights black, and it was starting to peal pretty bad. Luckily a friend of mine has hids in his 08 gt and sold us his OEM lights for like 25$. (Good deal to get rid of the ugly ones). They had also rigged up some flashers or something wired to a switch, where if you flipped the switch, the brights turned on and off. Got rid of that thankfully because the wiring was terrible.
So far the car is great, my DD has also been gas efficient (2000 hyundai accent, and 2003 toyota camry ((still own))). The GP may not be supercharged, but the 3.8l 6cyl is so much fun. Today we noticed a brake fluid leak in the rear drivers side tire and found out that the caliper needed to be changed, so we took some time out today an fixed that. Our next project is to paint the calipers black (the calipers were painted yellow before we got the car) and now we have one off color ;-/.
I really wanna clean the engine bay out next, and shine that all up.
When im not on my phone id love to post pictures of the new(to us) car!
