Get the new guy!

Hey all!

Just bought and just joined the group! I just picked up a loaded, black, 1999 Grand Prix GT, with 130,000 on it. It will replace my 2007 Jeep Compass when the lease is up. I do not want a car payment anymore and why drive new for a 12 mile round trip for work?

Anyway, I am way into cars and my pride and joy is my 1998 Corvette 6-speed. It is making 330 HP and 340 lbs ft torque at the rear wheels, dyno'ed two years ago. Approx 380 at the crank. I also am a moderator at corvettemechanic.com

Anyway this site is not about that car, I have a load of questions about my GP and look forawrd to talking cars with all of you!

No pics of my GP yet as I am still working on it. Need to buff it out again, change the fuel filter, replace the broken front sway bar, replace the drivers side door actuator and a couple more things. No one touches my cars but me and the warranty on them is me and my tools. Between my tools and my Tech II, there is nothing I can't do!

Welcome!! Nice 'Vette too, next car might just be a C5 Z06 Buddy is REALLY talking me into it...

Thanks for the welcome you two!

Well I replaced the door actuator and the drivers door lock will still not lock with the remote, the door button or putting it into drive. It will unlock, but never lock. I swear I saw it lock once though, very slowly. Not sure what is going on there and I will post in the appropriate forum, as this one probably is not right.

And bluegtp91, you can't go wrong with a C5 Z06! For the money, it is a great buy. My car has some Z06 parts on it and I paid $20K for it 5 years ago. I am sure prices have dropped even more on all C5's. These cars depreciate so much, then stop, but that depreciation is just the reason how I could afford one! I did not buy it for an investment, I drive the car!
