    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...

    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.

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