Default Bought a new 09 Stryker Blue G8 GT

Went and bought an 09 Stryker Blue G8 GT. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the color of the car. The Blue really pops in the sun.

Just got some pics of the car. Pretty simple pics. Weather is still not great. Soon as it gets good will get some better ones.
No mods yet besides getting the back windows tinted. Now just need like 35% on the fronts

Got a sad story about it already though, less than 48 hours after buying it. My dad, brother and I were moving our camaro out of the garage that we are building with our ATV because it is on a sloped driveway. So my dad is on the ATV pulls it up the hill and proceeds to hop off the 4-wheeler while we turned the car around to put it back in the garage, by the time we all turned around the ATV had rolled into the back of the car. Did some damage but really without the right light it is really hard to see. Needless to say i did not talk to my dad for the rest of the afternoon. I guess **** happens when your car has to sit outside in the weather.

Just thought i would share my little story and add that I love my car and am very pleased with the performance of it for being a completely stock 4 door sedan.

Thanks Shawn

Congrats on the car! They had one in the lot when I bought mine and it really is a great color!

Too bad about the slight damage. Is it something that needs to be repaired, or not noticeable enough to spend the money?

Fair enough. I know this THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS! LOL. Like i said the weather here sucks right now, unfortunetly. Rain today and tom. Hopefully by the weekend there will be some sunshine and be dry for a change for me to get some pics

The damage is not bad enough to really spend the money right now only being a month old but by the summer i will prob have it replaced just cause i know that it is there.

Guess you missed all of the snow in Illinois. That blue is one of the best colors I have seen on a car in a long time. Enjoy.
