Well we have a new member in our family. Michele bought on '04 GTO.
 
 I know a lot of folks don't really care for them for various reasons. We didn't really care for the bland styling when they first came out. But she liked this one. It came with the dealer installed SAP grills, hood, rear spoiler package which really "spiff's" it up.
 The color is Cosmos purple, it has the 6 speed trans., LS1 V8 350HP, 3.46 posi. power everything. 43k on the clock. Runs and handles very well. Quite surprizing actually for a 3700 lbs. car. Holden (GM Australia) built a very solid car IMO, compared to most of the GM tin cans over here.
 
 So soon as I get the camera out I'll post pics on my cardomain site.
 
I'm so happy the hunt for her toy is over. I sick and tired of dealing with people that must have been watching to much of the Barrett Jackson auction. A lot of cars we looked at were overpriced junk.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
It really is a very good car.   But keep an eye on the inside edge of the front tires.  They have a habit of rubbing the struts and blowing the tires out.  GM is working on a solution.
 
But congrats,  she should enjoy it!   Pics man, we needs pics!

Awww....when do we get to see pictures of the new baby?

How much does it weigh?  How long is it?  Is it a boy or girl?

But most importantly, Where are the cigars!?!?

Congrats.  A buddy of mine waited quite a while to get his Goat.  He also got the SAP, and I know he's been very happy with it - especially when he's taken it to the drag strip!


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Well I finally got time to take some pics of Michele's GTO.
It has some vette DNA it in. The distinct LS1 engine proves that. LOL
