Default Finally got a new car

Well after months of looking and changing my mind on what to buy I finally picked up a 09 G8 GT and so far I couldnt be happier. The car handles like a dream, has some nice power to back it up with and the color is beautiful pictures def dont do the car justice. Here are a few pics its alittle dirty since I just dove it back home and ran into a bad storm.

Yep its the new DD got rid of my SS Cobalt wanted something with alittle more room and a V8 in it.

As far as mods go I have no plans for it right nowbut I'm sure I'll atleast do some kind of catback system to give it alittle more sound. I want to try and get it paid off first before I do alot of mods plus I have the TA if I want to hop in something and really go

That's what they all say. Give it a few months.

Imagine the Stryker Blue GXP with the original VE spoiler and the Clubsport fenders. Now that would be unbelievable.

It has 22,000 on it now. Its alittle higher then I really wanted but it was certified and the next nearest one was over 600 miles away and I had my Slowbalt to trade-in so I went ahead and got this one.
