Newbie from FL, 99 GTP

Well the systems said it was a good idea to say hello in the intro section. SOOOOOO.... HELLO!

As the title says I am in central FL and I have a 99 GTP. It is a new to me car but so far I love it!! I have had a few w-body cars over the years..

First was a 96 Regal, then I got a 02 Monte SS now I have this one. SO FAR.. It's my favorite. I have had a lot of cars in my years also, ranging from just about every jeep made up to 2001 (when I quit chryco) and Fords of various makes. Mostly Escorts, best little car on the road IMO. I had a ZX2 that with the help of a t3/04 it was making strait line runs in the mid 12's. But as fast as it was, it lacked a transmission worth a damn.

but as far as fun to own, front wheel drivers go hands down GM got it right! The Taurus is not much of anything but luke warm wall paper paste to drive. So much so my kids did not like even being in it.. "it" was a 98 SHO. :th_thumb-down:

My current GTP is nothing to write home about, it is 100% GM correct. With all the bits in the correct spot. I wished it made the s/c sounds like my lighting did but I do like how the power comes on smoothly and is easily controlable under load. PLUS it keeps me out of trouble driving everyday not welding the gas to the floor board.

So far the only problem I have is the cruise control does not work and is giving me a headache trying to fix.

So hello and if you have any ideas about the CC let me know. Back to ye olde search.
 


Welcome to the forum. Happy to have you here. As for the cruise control, if you have a brake light out it won't work. A blown fuse, cable diconnected, bad control box, or a bad switch.
 
thanks all for hte warm welcome, you make the monte forums look like a bunch of grmpy old men :D

I have been using this really awesome tool called the search and it is FULL of info ;)
I have just been reading but still yet to get off my butt and go outside.

Thanks again..
