Thread: New Member .....from the land of OZ

New member here, My last Pontiac was a 67 GTO, Prior to that I had a 65 GTO, made that the local street terror, and also hit the drag strip with it, was spending nearly my whole paycheck on it every week............then came a wife and kids......FUN OVER!! So now I am an old man, just turned 67......have a few bucks to spend and still feel like the kid that I was 45 years ago. I always loved the thrill of acceleration......high speed cornering is a big plus. Looking to get either a Grand Prix GTP or GXP, I thought maybe I can finalize my decision by hanging out here.

Best wishes............GoatBoy

Glass and without proper maintenance the gxps doesn't last long. But welcome

Thanks for the input. I am still looking for a car, probably will be a GTP based on price difference.

Me personally, I would go with either one, GTP and GXP, mix it up a little bit, add a little bit of this a little bit of that and voila.......Lol
