It's just my view on it, but to be in the badass category for me, one of the specifications is a 2 door.

No doubt the G8 Firehawk is fast, but I honestly see it with the same enthusiasm as I would a 4 door Dodge Charger, or even a Grand Prix. No offense, but its just not my cup of tea.

I know what your sayin'. It's just nice to have somewhat badass cars available that will also haul a family of 5 if needed! And at my house, it's needed lol.

I'm busy workin on everyones car but mine lol, but I did take part of the interior BACK OUT to spray underbody coating/sound deadener on the inside (trying to cover the damn smell still, grrrr), and to fish some wires out from under the carpet we missed when the dash went in. Speaking of which, anyway I could borrow the welder for a few hours friday night to weld an exhaust hanger back on compton's 240 after we swap his tranny?

I totally understand, and GM did a great job on the G8 reaching to guys like you. For me, its either a car to get the family from point "A" to point "B", or its a 2 door agressive looking monster that every teen age boy dreams of. To me its either one or the other, you can't have both. But I am happy GM saw there was a need for such a car, and went with it... its just something I could never do.

You might be right Josh. Thats why I told the wife I have to get the MKIV Supra TT before we have kids. That way I can have all the sports cars I want out of the way so if my perspective changes, I would already have the toys bought

Let's do this!! Each of us take 4 passengers, all wearing seatbelts...... Actually I already told myself I'm not gonna get too crazy with mods on this. If I get it to run with the Formula, I might as well sell the Camaro

Josh is right, and so are you. It would be better to get your toys out of the way early. And the Camaro is my real toy. The G8 (like my GTP or the TBSS was) just makes getting from "A" to "B" alot more fun. My problem is, it seems like whenever we go somewhere, there's always someone who wants to play. And it sucks when you are in your daily, and you know you have a faster car at home! With a G8, you can play whenever your out lol.

I will never sell the Camaro... NEVER. The Formula I would like to keep as well, but if it came down to it, I don't have too much wrapped up in it. The Supra I have wanted for the last decade and when finished will put the Camaro to shame power wise (probably not 1/4 mile wise though). Don't know that once I finally get it I would consider selling it either.

I already feel that way when someone wants to play and I am in the Formula knowing I'm not even in my fast car.

The brutes fight themselves, you don't have any control of it. Just who you fight is what you have control over. Its random with the fighting and what weapons they use.
OKAy, thanks. I hoped for more control.But it's addicting. good game.

Kids change everything. I'd much rather be putting the money from the sale of the camaro into my kids' college funds, but it doesn't look like it's going to sell.

Anyone going to the Tincaps' (Potheads) opener? Julie won 2 tix and got 2 more from a coworker. We'll be in section 101 (right field/first base line).

Chris, looks like your G8 might be collectible. Hold off on those mods, bud.

Hey Scott, your link is not working in your signature for your car being for sale. I think it could possibly because of the * at the end of the web address.
