Thread: Why did you choose to buy a GP?

I've sort of always wanted a GTP. Then I bought my first 03 Cobra (silver metallic) and was driving my old car, a 91 Cougar XR7 5.0, in the winter time. At long last that trusty steed broke down, it has an expensive high pressure brake system and the pump burned up. I decided I'd had enough and sold it for $600. The floorboards were about to rust out, also.

I drove my Cobra in the snow to meet a guy near Youngstown to buy my 01 GTP. It was treacherous to say the least. It was cold, snowy, and I didn't have a chance to really look over the car; not to mention I didn't know what to look for. Bought it, probably overpaid a bit because I had a specific scope -- GTP coupe of this body style. I found the blower fan only worked on high, interior lights didn't work, few other things wrong. I was able to fix most of that, except for the interior lights (there's a short in the wiring above the headliner somewhere).

It's been mostly trouble free but things are breaking more often now. I'm considering selling it.

Easy, the 2006 mazda I bought brand new blew the motor at 75k, @ $434month payment, women was having the 2nd kid and the 1st trimester she was sick as a dog and couldnt work, gas prices went up over $4gal so almost 2 weeks worth of working went to gas, fell behind on bills, couldnt afford much food, couldnt pay rent. Taxes just came in and I know I needed a car sooner than later (wanted boost to play with after this short spat of hell) spent just about all my taxes buying a gtp with a blown motor, then borrowed $600 from the women so I could buy a replacement engine.

Not to long or before the daughter was born the mazda was repoed and I was left with a blown gtp in the parents driveway. Took another week off of work to get it running and walla. I was forced into the car do or die, now its my sex machine and I love it.
