Default Pretty new here

I think I've posted here once, but I have been reading alot...ALOT of articles on this site lately. Here's my situation, I'm deployed (Iraq) coming home in a little less than a month. When I first left I got rid of my 2000 T/A to help pay off some old debt. Since then I've paid the wifes college tuition, my old debt, rent etc... Now I have a couple thousand saved, a horrible credit rating, and my first child on the way (Oct. 19th!!). I was hoping for a more family friendly G8 GT or Trailblazer SS. But the more I think about it I seem to think maybe another ws6 and an Impala for the babymobile, due in part to my credit. My wife has a Mustang, which yes, I incessantly bitch at her for having it (she bought before we met though lol). I'm really leaning towads the latter option because it would give me more of a chance to play around I think. But if I could somehow get financing for either of the other two cars, then I wouldnt be against it. Does anyone have an opinion? haha Let me know!!

I would say the G8 because of the 6 speed auto and they look bad ***.GM is trying to sell Pontiac there might not be a G8 to much longer.good luck with what ever you get.

G8's are bad *** ....but ive got alot of respect for a well built TR. I agree with guy, with Pontiac waving bye bye it might be a great time to snag a G8... Good luck on your decision

And congrats on the child
