Took a nifty pic or two. This was the best one.

Also got my first chance to throw the GP around some tight twisties. I quickly learned this car is not built for tight twisties.

Cool picture.

I had a 1997 GP 3800. At no point was that thing ready for something twisty. Weirdly though, it did have a sporty feel - right up until the point when it didn’t. It weighed 3400lb - which for 1997 seemed like a lot.

This was her the first day I got her. The wet spot is where she pissed coolant all over the driveway (intake manifold). I got rid of it after the 2nd time it tried to kill me. Wiper blades unscrewed themselves in a snowstorm and brake lines blew out when ABS kicked on during a different snowstorm. I do miss 64F G25 though. Those were both really good numbers.

I always love mountain area pictures. I’ve got plenty with rental cars, hoping to have my miata out in California some day and will definitely have good ones then!

Oh damn I love those things. Needs bigger rear sway bar and poly end links for better twisty-ness

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > C62030 05/14/2016 at 23:09

Your car is more 90's than Zack Morris.

I have a soft spot for that car my grand father bought one when new when I was a kid. Remember that new car smell...tho quickly replaced with cigar smoke.

Despite the shocking amount of smoking accoutrements, I don’t think this car has been smoked in. It actually smells really nice inside.

Mercedes SLK250. Hard top convertible was pretty nice to have and I got it for a steal on that trip, $50 a day! Plus in sport mode it was pretty fun and not anywhere near as boaty as the Camaro. Although the boatiness of the Camaro was kinda fun, felt like you were riding a bull.

Thanks. Me too. Best-looking Pontiac of all time IMO. Except maybe the Fiero.
