Okay. Just got back from work.

Eh, I could do everything myself, but I respect him and would like his blessing, if you will, on doing something big like this. The car is under both of our names, which is also another reason.

First off, it's not my first car. I plan on keeping it a very long time, which means low miles is key. Also, I feel I know a good bit about the sixth gen gps. If I keep it, I only want to do small things that can help gas mileage and give small performance gains (would plan on a fwi, exhaust, dp, pcm), but since it's a gt, I wouldn't ever want to do anything major with it. Top swap is almost out of the question, since it would be somewhat expensive and the parts would probably be hard to find around where I live. The downtime and the fact that I don't have a ton of mechanical experience would also be a slight problem.

I have an album up of it. It's also the one in my avatar.

Yeah, I could try that... But yeah, I wouldn't do it without my dad's consent, not only because his name is on the title, too, but just kind of out of respect. I don't know... I could do a top swap and get leather seats/hud/etc. but that would end up costing a lot, and I don't want to hack anything up too bad... I was planning on keeping the gp for a long time as my dd, then getting a trans am as a "nice day" car (originally thinking a 2nd gen, 70-76 with a 455+4spd, but now I'm kinda teasing the idea of a newer one, because it's newer and would have better support...). I'm still in college so I don't know if I want to just wait for that good deal on a T/A, or would want to mod the dd, which leads me towards a gtp. Maybe I just think about things a little too much.
