Just wanted to say hi. Finally got rid of the TBSS and bought a G8 Gt. Great car! Can't wait for OC MD in May!

Personally I had several VERY BAD experiences with the TBSS. The Tranny is just too darn week for the power it puts out. I can tell you that the G8 is great, but the CTS-V is a whole other animal. Both are great choices.

Oh he has been talking about selling it forever. He brought home a vette last March and oh boy. Monday the goat rolled back in and the vette was gone . Plus it was a HUGE piece. He was waiting for the this one kid to buy it but he ended up with a Cobolt SS. I told him just to mod the goat. Get him to keep it free beers in OC MD. LOL
