    ....My GTP decided it no longer needed to pump its oil. I refuse to dump any more money into this thing as it is just to drive. I put all new gaskets on the intake/supercharger setup, while doing so the TB fell off where I sat it, which was stable, and broke both the MAF and Tps sensor. A lady backed into me and smashed a fender that had half repaired damage while i was on my way to go get xrays from being hit and hurt by an non-insured driver (which the cops are doing nothing about).
    So far in the last month my car situation had gone to hell. I have My newly salvage title Regal GS with its wonderful bent frame and a blown up GTP.

    I wish i had the credit and money for a nice G8. I do like them though except the auto only thing once again. As for fords, my family has terrible luck with them. I'll probably look at a Subaru forester, never had many issues with Subaru's. owned a WRX and a Forester.

    Gtp is rusting thats why i have no care for it. Regal is same year almost 30k more miles, way more options and still looks and runs better than this gtp ever has. Also has almost no rust anywhere. Atleast not anything out of normal. just around bolts that are exposed to the elements.

    Wow, bad luck reminds me a lil of my hit and run with my Tbird, bastard got away and cops were like we know we wont find this guy. Traffic cams didnt work that night, Non of the stores would review the cameras, The CVS manager would not look at his previous tape from that day, he played like he di, but i knew he didn't.(almost like everyone was protecting whoever did it.)

    But my next car i'm getting is a Miata, i want to learn to drive stick and have a spy car...
