What did you do to your Car today?

[[ChaosweaveR]]

I test drove a red 2009 G8 GT on Saturday before the Michigan - Ohio State game. I loved the car - only problems were paint chips on the hood and front fascia and 74k onthe odometer. It was clearly a daily driver (not that that is a bad thing). I expect a few chips but there was a lot across the whole front, not just a few here and there. Dealer was asking $18k with 74k miles on it. Not bad but still higher than I thought it was worth for that many miles and the paint chips. The V8 pulled hard though.

Highway miles. GM plastics and paint don't like the endeavors of long highway use. My GAGT looked terrible from the front after two years of 50K straight highway use. My boss's 09 G8GT was a highway warrior too, same thing, probably looked like the G8 you saw and test drove.

These cars hold their value, though. Very unusual for any GM car, but it being a Holden probably plays a role in that.

If you do buy a G8, eliminate the DoD system, do an intake and exhaust and these things become animals. The DoD system really, really holds them back performance-wise.

changed the alternator in the outback today..was numbingly cold at an awesome 10*f.. was gonna wash it but the snow storm tonight kinda canceled that..looks dirtier in person. threw the snow tires on the stock wheels.. probably gonna pick up some 04-ish WRX wheels for the regular tires.

Does that mean you are going to feel sorry for him if his house falls into a sink hole or blows down in a hurricane?

I am impressed. You called him "sir".
