  1. I just got the same yday, 20% all around. I haven't had any visibility issues, have you?
  2. Not bad. I'm on number 12. First one was bought 5/16/09. Want a list?
  3. I don't follow, what'd markpeterson do? I'm assuming have a nice car, then sell it?
  4. Alright, let's begin: March 1st, bought this 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT from a neighbor. Originally my cousin and his parents had asked me to find my cousin a good first car. I've been driving by this 02 GP for years, and ever since I got the GTP I've paid attention to it. About a week after my cousin told me to find him a car I saw a bright orange for sale sign in the car's window. Stopped, talked to the guy, looked the car over and test drove it. We talked about price and it sounded like a great deal. I told my cousin and his parents and they just blew it off. Took the opportunity and bought it for myself. Plan was to put both the Hyundai and the GT on craigslist and whichever one I sold first I'd just keep the other. It didn't matter to me which car I sold first since I knew I could make a profit on both, but I prefered to drive a GP over a Hyundai. I bought the GP, and that night my brother told me he was told to find a car for his friend. He told me how much money she wanted to spend, which was way over what I was asking for the Hyundai, but I showed her the car and she loved it. So that was the end of the Hyundai. Felt kind of bad selling it for a high price, but if she wanted to spend a lot of money then who cares. Pics! Headlights had moisture in them, and the tails were just as bad. If I'm going to replace the lights, might as well get aftermarket
  5. I'd post pics but I have to do this damn hw. I hate college
  6. I'm going to try to get a nice photoshoot of the two before I sell the GTP though. Maybe one of all the toys together
  7. Originally I was going to sell the GTP, sell the Hyundai, and buy a vette and a bike, more specifically a silver C5 vert. Then save up over the summer and buy another rat. But after cleaning the GT I fell for it. I'd still sell it, but for the time being I'm going to use it as my daily summer and winter. The a/c actually works, the heat works, and overall its a great car. And I don't have much in it to begin with. Besides I'm going to be riding my bike most of the time anyways. So then it came down to money. I sell the GT, I have that in the bank. I sell the GTP, I have even more in the bank. I'd take more money everyday of the week. My current line up is 02 GT, 01 GTP, 69 van (never selling), 08 V Star, 75 RD60, 96 jetski and 79 Express II. I want to sell the 75 Yamaha, the jetski and the GTP. Save more money, move out. Then who knows. If the blue grand prix dies, then I'll just replace it with another grand prix, preferably a deep red one, and GT. GTP needs at least 91 oct, more expensive insurance, and I know this sounds stupid, but it's too nice. I didn't want to do any of the mods I've done to the blue one because the GTP is mint. The parts are too nice to replace. I am going to miss the speed though. I was racing a charger and lost due to the GT being limited to 105
  8. Alright, so I have some updates. Sold the Hyundai for a very decent profit. The 02 GP is now my daily. The head lights were fogged when I got it and the tails had moisture in them. So I'm doing some visual mods. Pics to follow. I also bought a bike, 08 V Star 650 custom. Selling the GTP
  9. Wait, that's what that antennae is on the rear glass? The Onstar? I thought that was the normal radio antennae
  10. Great pics. Car looks fantastic. Just my 2c, maybe the rear can go a little lower to match the front? But thats just being picky. Props to the bonnie too, looks great
  11. Looking forward to seeing this car not dirty
  12. Bought another car: 02 GT. Either going to sell it for a quick profit or sell the Hyundai and use this as my new winter rat
  13. How'd you figure out the build date? I'd love to figure out my car
  14. What. The. FORD. How in gods name did you find a triplet? And at $350, wow. I'm in shock. I'd say part it. Those roof rails are wanted. And that 2-tone interior is great. Scrap the rest and you'd pay a month's worth of gas or more. Funny, on my way to work today I stopped and looked at a 02 GT that was for sale. 110k for $3750, but the body was mint and the interior looked great, maybe next rat?
  15. 2 questions: A: how long did you wait out there in the freezing temps to get the railroad x arms shot? B: when the car was stock height, did you get any rub at full lock? I get a little but only at full lock and I have the same size tire, 245/45R18, so if not it must be my rim offset
  16. That 1st pic has an awesome background, but whats with the light issues? Heads and fogs? Stance is great though
  17. Can you give an example of a photoshoot height? Please
  18. You know what's better than having a GTP? Having 2. Buy mine. They are twins afterall
  19. Gave up on American reliability. These 4 banger imports may look stupid, but this Hyundai will last much longer than that Buick. When the guy came to pick it up it was leaking oil, wouldn't go into any gear, and blew a brake line. Such a shame since I liked the styling, ride and engine. Got pics: And I like this one cuz the GTP looks pissed it's getting replaced by this little bug. They are like 2 brothers, mean older brother and the one that didn't get enough air... I have to admit, driving this thing is actually kind of fun. It handles like a go kart, and I actually have heat now. Took me around an hour to figure out how to use the deck, still don't know how to use it but I can now hear music, so that's good. No tilt or cruise, not liking that. No power locks, annoying. Manual power windows, doesn't bother me, at least I know they'll be reliable. And man is this thing slow. I'll feel like I'm going 60 and I'm only doing 40. Merging onto the highway is kind of scary. But for what it is and what I paid for it, I'm happy. Already looking forward to spring when I get back into the GTP or possibly a vette
  20. Been awhile since I posted last. Today I bought a 04 Hyundai Accent GT with 49k miles for $2800. Gave the guy very little money and my Buick. Nothing wrong with it other than having a salvage/rebuilt title and the A/C doesn't work, which I don't care since it's a winter rat. A girl owned it and did HIDs, a K&N intake and a deck. I pick it up tommarow. The Buick's transmission failed miserably. It wouldn't even go into gear. So now the GTP is going back off the road for the winter. And just for shiz and giggles, I'm throwing it onto craigslist just to see if anyone will buy it.
  21. Got it Then imagine these on it Oh and update: my brother sold his Protege5. Now he currently has my older brother's 90's Buick Century, which he also plans on selling for a profit. Not even gunna waste my time posting a pic of his Century, but I do kinda get excited about both of us owning Buicks, the Buick Bros
  22. Finally back on here. Yea the Buick sat pretty high with those rims. Before I picked up the car I had the guy switch those rims out for the stock steelies. It sits normal with the steelies. I got a pic around here somewhere...
  23. Just bought my new rat, 1993 Buick Lesabre. I told the guy I didn't need the tires, so he took some off the top. Not a spec of rust on it: I'm going to get white letter tires and wrap them around black steelies. Tails are tinted, and the front grille is done in black
