Ha Ha. Happens all the time to me.

You know you drive a GP when the cloth seats are more comfortable than the leather ones.

X2!!!!!!!! Im convinced its vinyl, not leather...

Sadly, it's real leather... Just really low grade. I'll be doing a '04+ interior swap in the future to correct the problem.

You know you drive a 4-door GP when you have to yell at people not to slam the doors, and they still do cuz their so damn light.

yeah right. the coupes had such heavy doors you just needed to let go of the door and it closes itself. everyone still slammed my doors.

^^^^ Lol that is a good point, I hate it too :P

you know you drive a GP when friends and co workers ask you why you keep dumping money into that POS.

you know you drive a GP when its dark and you can't find your controls cause THEY'RE BURNED OUT!

you know you drive a GTP when you look at an SE and say, "hmm, an SE, thats cute"

^^ X2. Everyone is always slamming my coupe's doors. Women are the most notorious for this. For some odd reason, they think that some obscene amount of force is necessary to close the door because its bigger and the car only has 2 of them DAMN IT!! STOP SLAMMING MY POOR DOORS!

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

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.

^ also u kno u drive a GP when u go to the parts store for brakes... they ask what kind of car... u say GP but i need F body pads.... they give me this stupid look everytime.
