    You know you drive a GP when you forget to turn off the head lights when you drive some one else's car.

    You know you drive a GP when your window switch housing just "lifts" out of the panel from so many repairs

    You know you drive a GP when the morning after you wash your car there's sh*t on the spoiler

    i have that problem! haha

    you know you drive a gp when you can't, for the life of you, find a used 225/60/R16 tire

    ...when you end up buying new tires and the guy says "i didn't know grand prix's ran that wide?"

    Its called weight... more weight, wider tires. Keeps the coefficient of friction up.

    I got that once, I replied "why do you think they call it a W body?" or "what about all those widetrack commercials?

    You know you drive a GP when you get in another car and hit the horn while trying to change the radio station with your thumbs.

    You know you drive a GP when you've replaced a broken swaybar (or trailing arm) with a performance one.

    You know you drive a GP when people give you a funny look when you say you've flipped your dogbones.

    You know you're a friend of a clueless GP owner when he tore up his hands replacing the rear spark plugs and enjoy the shocked face when you tell him he could've just rocked the motor forward.

    When you buy parts for a 97-03 GP and the autozone guy gives you a weird look when you ask for a buick regal or 04+ GP cabin air filter.

    You enjoy the drive to work because of the tight highway ramps.

    And finally..(for those with a good alignment) you can take your hands off the wheel going 90 and others driving it give you compliments on how the wind doesn't blow it off the road.

    ^^I realize a stock L36 is not as fast as the sticker implies, but this sticker has worked and it is still a hell of a lot of fun to drive considering it's a grocery sedan.

    At my work, cabin air filters actually come up under 97-03 GP's.
