I was driving a 2000 WS6 Trans Am until the hubby lowered it and moded it to the point that I didn't want to leave it in the parking garage at work anymore. Then I got a 2003 Grand AM but that just didn't cut it, so I gave that to my son and now I have my 2004 GTO.

previous rides....
'98 Mustang GT (slow, but MINT)
'94 Z28 (mostly stock, VERY clean too)
'98 Z28 (still kinda weird listing it under "previous"
)
I'm gonna hang on to the GTO for awhile because i plan on doing something SERIOUS with it when the warranty expires (most likely a full drivetrain upgrade and a turbo setup).
afterwards though, my next car will likely be a slightly older but equally as badass 2004 Cobra (possibly a new '07-'08 GT500 but honestly, i really like the '03-'04).

Should have a GTO in the next 1-2 weeks. Just trying to decide if I want already modded or not. It will be my first endeavor into modern American muscle. For some crazy reason the GTO intrigues me whereas other modern muscle never did.
