I'll briefly speak of the other place: ClubGP. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Arc, how could anyone challenge you? You gave us the ultimate car exterior detailing how-to!

Rebecca, mine is a fleet vehicle... and it's pink, if that rings any bells.

Shouldn't be. This is only my first day! You'll always be the female who has been here the longest.

Ding!

rick you were brave id have to admit that. that road is 9 x out of 10 full of cops you just got lucky... wounder how that person's hood is taking it? haha and arc like rook said you have a specail place here no one can take it, just keep up with the good work and i might have to send my sad looking gp down south for a lil clean.. it disappoints me seeing the mud, salt, and road grime on her from this *cough, cough* beautiful weather

I passed on the shoulder once...I was trying to get in front of a Camaro that I couldn't pass not because he was faster than me, but because of traffic...so, I went to the far right, passed a car on the shoulder so close I could have touched her mirror with my hand, and then the Camaro was behind me.

However, x2 on the whole illegal and dangerous part...

Welcome to the site, Rebecca!

Howdy!!! Welcome to GPN.....YEEEEEE HAWWWWW !!!(felt like being cowboy-ish today)

What surprised the hell outta me is that there were very few rocks and such on that shoulder. And I did notice from running through the range roads of FT Indiantown Gap that the fenders/rear fascia of the 07 GP prevented anything from gettin spit UP from the tires. Man, those are some nice cars. The 06+ GPs seem to have found a few more ponies to massage out in that Series III mill. Rebecca sure has a nice ride.

BTW: Im to assume from the "code talkin" between you and Rook that yours is a pink paint as well? Wonder how you're gonna sharpen that Panther's claws?

Also, do you allow others to call you Becky? That sure is a long name to type out.

Oh, by the way, post some pics of your car! We loves pictures here.

AFAIK, the pink GPs ended with our body style. New ones ('04+) just get a pink MK badge.

Arcx is defintely the long standing female among us...you can learn much from her (especially detailing...check out her thread)...but the rest of us will be glad to chime in our knowledge and opinions (maybe more than you like sometimes )...glad you dig your new ride and as was said previously, we are some serious picture whores on this site...so post up that new ride and welcome (we all like to see what you start with before the mod bug strikes)

Welcome!

Thanks. I spent a lot of time as I was saving up considering what I wanted to buy. It had to be something with an engine with longevity, and it had to be a V6. Four cylinder cars are better on gas, true, but they are so anemic! And it had to be a sedan because sometimes I need to put something in the back seat or have people ride with me. And then of course I wanted something that looks sharp, is comfortable, and is fun to drive. And all this had to be American.

Working in used cars, I had many chances to sit in and drive various vehicles. My boss has had a few Bonnevilles lately in the past year or two as his personal vehicle, so I had a chance to drive those and I liked them. That's how I fell in love with the steering wheel radio controls, which my car also has. I'm not sure how I went from liking the Bonneville to wanting a Grand Prix, except that I like the look of the Grand Prix better. They are basically the same car, if you think about it, because they have a lot of the same options and share the same engine.

So mine is "liquid silver metallic" with alloy wheels and ebony interior. The interior has some leather and chrome accents and, like I said before, it has the steering wheel controls for the stereo. (Sliced bread only wishes it were that cool.) It also has the five-button Dash Info Center (DIC) and factory remote start. No sunroof, but I don't really care about that. I love everything about it and probably won't change anything. I'm not really into making mods on cars. My Z28 has Hooker mufflers, but that's only because some critter put nuts in the original mufflers and subsequently I had to replace them. I've seen all the headaches that my brother and others go through in making mods to their cars (my bro has a 70 SS Nova) and trying to get them to run properly after doing so, and I just think all that hassle is for the birds. My GP runs fine just the way it is!

I said "ding" about Rook's pink car because I know that means it was a Mary Kay car.

Some people do call me Beckie, yes. You may call me that if you want. As my Dad says, just don't call me late for dinner!

LOL, you guys are not alone in being picture whores. I'm on some other forums, and the other one that I'm on the most is one for horsey people. We're all big-time picture whores over there. Every time a new person joins we're always saying "post pictures of your horse!!"

Here is a picture of Silver (like the Lone Ranger's horse) when I first saw her in the garage at work. I don't have any other ones yet because it's wintertime here in Michigan and that makes it kinda cold for outdoor picture-taking.



The sign taped to the window is from my boss and it basically says thanks to me for everything I do at work, here is the perfect car. I've worked for him for nine years now and in addition to being my boss he is my good friend and mentor too. The car was a total surprise to me. I knew he had been looking for one for me, but I didn't know that he had found one. He was out of town the weekend before Thanksgiving and he asked me to go to the car lot and check on the heat in the garage to make sure the pipes didn't freeze. The whole thing was just a ruse to get me there to see the car. Best surprise I've had all year!

hot damn, sharp lookin car. mayhaps some rims, tint, and a conservative sound system, you'd be all set. good find.

rick couldnt say it any better.. the only i dont like on the new ones are the driving lights ... or also know as fogs they are retarded
