    Hello, my name is Steve & I have just purchased a 94 GP for 800 dollars. As u might guess, I have alot of work ahead. I bought the vehicle as a means of getting by until we can do better but my 14 yr old had a fit over the car, so who knows where this might go. The car is black, exterior probably a 6 of 10, interior {brown fabric}, a 4 of 10. The car is approaching 260,000 miles, but seems to go down the road pretty good. Car was a repo & sold through the auction, so you get the idea what I have. Stopped to get gas and it just poured out from under ther car right behind the drivers side rear tire. Got to address that first. Next is to get a juke box goin as previous owner too whatever they had with them. Is it possible to get a aftermarket to work w/ the steering wheel controls?? That would be pretty cool. You folks don't know how much I appreciate the oprtunity to be here, and will be more than happy to share my limited [& hopefully improving] knowledge of our common intrest. Thanks in advance for being here & allowing me to participate. Steve

    was coming home w/ car & stopped to get gas......after about 20 bucks worth, it starts pourin out behind drivers side rear wheel. i get the car home ok & take it to the shop this morning, and come to find out, someone had removed the bottom of the back seat, knocked a hole through the floorboard & through the gas tank to steal friggin gas. i finally found a used tank, drove 50 miles to get it and paid 70 bucks for the tank. Probably another 75 or 100 to pay for the r&r. the car is black & i'm almost sure it came w/ the gold snoflake 16" wheels. this wrecking yard had a set but wants 200 bucks for them. they had 2 of the pretty star alloys & wanted 50 ea for them. wish i'd had the money. heres hope that day 3 is a little less expensive.
