Howdy!
Just thought id share a bit about me, and introduce myself to the community. A couple of years ago I fragged the clutch in my daily driver, a 95 Chevy PU. With a heavy heart, I started looking for something to replace it. With Fuel prices over $3 for the first time, and a lengthy commute to work, I resigned myself to the fact that it would have to be a car. After a week of searching I came across a 2004 Pontiac grand am. it got decent mileage, and had enough trunk space for all the gear im prone to hauling around. After a few months of driving it, i started to like it.
Fast forward a couple of years, (this feb) and Im on vacation with my wife in MO when a chrysler attemped to mate with my GA...
and wouldn't you know that it would be just weeks after I replaced the radiator, ac condenser, and fans!
needless to say, we rented a Vibe to drive home... 600 miles
Knowing that the insurance company would likley total my car, I had the time, and motivation to think about what I really wanted.
I wanted a Grand Prix!
After a bit of shopping, I found an 06 that was new enough I could pretend it was... and so after a month of driving and loving my GP, I find myself browsing this forum daily, learning and looking for the next item my Gp needs!
Thanks for all the help so far guys!
A little about me:
Raised in the country... no, really the country. I work for a large Law enforcement agency in central oklahoma. In addition to playing with cars, I also shoot rifles competively, and for fun. On a good weekend ill be at the pond getting my thumb prints obliterated by the lower lip of largemouth bass.
er... if my wife lets me.
gotta love Oklahoma...
