I just don't see how anyone could sink as much money as you have into a damn 12 year old Grand Prix. Call me a hater, but I 'd rather save up and pay cash for a G8, then to spend 2 grand on a shiny supercharger......

It was sarcasm. But I bet he spent wayyyyy more than I ever would for a part on a 10 year old car. Maybe I like to save money for better things, but a spray painted supercharged would suite me just fine. He's at the point now where he's pretty much done all he can so he's going to start re-doing stuff that didn't need to be re-done to begin with.

yeah but its his money,his car etc. He can choose to do what he wants with it.
