After our last installment in the Because GTX Saga and on our way down to the 100 Acre Wood Rally... - there’ll be an update someday, somewhat soon - I received a message from an editor who saw our post on Jalopnik at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! inquiring as to whether or not we’d be interested in being featured, to which I replied, Fur Shure!

Spoiler Alert to the 100 Acre Wood episode that has yet to be released... we broke down.

(The dreaded transmission failure that’s told to all young GTX’s to scare them away from power and hard launches. FYI the car is back up, running and is stronger, faster, and prettier than before!)

So we dragged the car out to a pretty place, got our serious faces on, and got some pictures taken! Thanks !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , thanks !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !

Saw your post about this on the GTX Facebook group! Congratulations on the feature and on getting the transmission fixed. My GTX’s alternator died on me while I was driving back to Denver from the Pikes Peak hillclimb on Sunday. Curses!

Thanks and Crap! I probably have a spare for a 1.6 if you’re in need of anything. It might be a good excuse to tear apart the parts car. At least the alternator should be easy to find.

Thanks, I may take you up on that. To be honest, I haven’t even thought about the car yet. I was able to buy a new battery right before AutoZone closed and limped her home 40 miles.
