Default 250k, 2006 Grand Prix GXP

Hey All,

Was on base at Hurlburt Fld AFB shopette gettin gas. Pulled up to an old man in a 06 gxp. I said hey man nice car, he replies nice grey gxp havnt seen any in that color. I said thanks, hows ur car treating you.

Now what im bout to say may floor u all an u might want to call bs. However everything I say he told me.

He has 250k on it, drives it 1k per week, still on orignal ls4, new tranny at 186k he reports an he said he just did the brakes. Lol, also he reports he is still on the orignal spark plugs. An everything else besides tires is stock. Lolololol

He also said its all highway.

Amazing.........

Greg

Do you live a long way from your work? That is an astonishing amount of miles! Incredible, you have me beat by 185,000ish miles and you are a year newer!
