Default newbie GXP owner here

Well the wife caved last night and came home with an 05 GXP. It's blue/green, don't know the official name of the color with 21,xxx miles. I think she did good on picking this one. We started looking last week and after finding only 3 GXP's in the area this was the best one. We looked at an 07 at a dealer and since they didn't clean it up I walked away at the sign of bodywork and sanding dust all over the engine compartment. I've done some searches all ready so no questions to ask yet about what to do. My biggest concern was the stupid tires, but it looks as though most have figured out what to do. I'll be lurking and asking questions here and there. Nice to see what looks to be a good community for these cars.

I was under the impression the name of the color was Blue Green Crystal Metallic only offered up to the last 1/4 of the 2005 model run, but more commonly referred to as BLEEN! I love that color, if I could of found a GXP in that color then I would of gotten it, BLEEN would go great with my Fusion Orange Metallic (FOM) Comp G!
