Default so i finally broke down and bought it....

gonna go pick this beauty up tonite...got a great deal on her and how can ya beat the gas mileage, the style, AND the power!! doesnt get much better than this. i looked at alot of cars and this one just stood out. most important, its gonna blow Zturd's Zo6 out of the water...(in gas mileage).let me know what you guys think...




































going green baby!!! yeah!


ok, maybe not. but i was able to score a new 2009 Pontiac G8 GT in mavrick silver with the premium and sport packages which suits me alot better than a prius lol. who cares about gas mileage. picking it up tonight or tomorrow so ill post pics when i have it at home. cant wait.!!

I love G8's. Since i have been building a decent amount of them i like them even more. They can be FAST with minimal mods. We have a bolt on one goin 12.13 at 113. It has the record right now. Thats sick for a big *** 4 door car.

I don't know, the last I talked to Zturd he said he was goin for the HIGHEST MPG z06 record. Done w/ the ¼ mile ****, guy tapped out.

I think he is pulling out the LS7 right now and putting an ECOTECH in her. It will sound the same cruising around, he is just goin to carry a cd of fast car sounds and blast it when he goes by ppl, so they think he is hauling ***.

I think Saturday was the nail in the coffin when he ran 11.83 and I ran 11.79.
I saw the sad puppy dog just got ran over by a trash truck look on his face and knew he was done with racing.

[cough] gay [/cough]

though I can't argue with the gas milage part of the equasion that Prius brings to the table... i can argue against it based on looks. it looks like **** lol

the centered guage cluster is just ******* odd looking to me.

if i needed a fuel efficient car, i would look into the VW Diesels.

I didn't think you needed an excuse to wear a dress.

Not me, I love good gas mileage, it's like free money. Plus I'm a hiker so I appreciate clean air.
