    I needed a car.. My cousin had a 02 GT 4 door that he bought new.. He used to bring it to my work.. (Chevy Dealer) For me to work on it.. I knew everything was new..
    He hadnt driven it since 05 when he go married and his wedding gift to himself was a 06 GT Mustang.. So after 5 and 1/2 years in the garage.. He sold it to me for $1900..

    Got sick of the 11 MPG Silverado and went out test driving cars and fell in love with a 2001 Silvermist GT, had it for a few months and wished I had gotten a GTP. That one got repoed 3 years later, and then I bought my GTP for $1800

    When I had my Jetta, I thought I was the sh!t lol. Till one day I had a stock GTP roll up on me. We raced, I got smoked, My Choice was made. I started reading up on the GTPs and realized there potential ( for a highschool kid lol ), 2 years later I'm Driving my GTP and love it, even though it hates me right now.

    I blew up my 95 Grand Am (half on purpose) and needed a new car. 3 days later I test drove this one from one dealership over to another dealership where I test drove an 02 GT coupe. Drove it off the lot 2 days later.

    well my grandmother had bought it as her car (6years ago).its a 99 gp se 3.8. she bought it with 98k on it. i had drivin it a few times and fell in love with it instantly. so she gave me the car. now its got 160k on the original engine with a new trans(about 3500k) on it now. this is the only car thats ever lasted with me behind the wheel.. thats why i love it. its still all stock besides a k&n filter and a new gt front bumper,painted calipers, head unit and snit like that.

    I totaled our only car (guy pulled out 10feet infront of me, while i was doing 55mph, the legal limit)...so about 2 weeks later my dad bought a 2000 GT, silver 4door. I loved driving it(with my newly aquired license)

    So when I turned 16, I got a job, saved up, and found a nice damn 4door black GTP in the autotrader, and grabbed it...

    You should see them on the wagon, since the GTP is now gone to a graveyard somewhere

    The old wider is better ads made me want the first one I had. I totaled it in a bad accident with a barricade. I had to have another. I blew the trans and got my third. It was a good car, but I had to make a 5k mile trip in the winter in mountains and snow, so I traded in that one. I got sick of my POS SUV and wanted something I could mod, so I went $10k in the hole after buying and selling every 6 months for 2 years and got the GP I have now.

    Also... Because Racecar

    C'mon up from New Haven and let's see how you feel about my Regal. Rich just cammed because with three guys in the car and nearly 190K on the clock....he wasn't able to shake the Regal. It's basically stock.
