Default Sick sleeper G8 GT

I would let my TA go if I had the money for this set up. Take the kids to school, go out to eat, the wife wouldn't mind driving it. I'd just turn it down......

You should see house of boosts shop. It is like spotless. I was there a few months back, right after they got that G8. Poor G8 was the odd man out. There was like about 8 stangs, and then the G8 at the shop at the time.

That car goes pretty good. You can pick those up on the cheap now too, brand new of the truck under 30k isn't a bad deal.
