    Maybe keep the prix for commuting.

    My idea is that vehicular assets should be up to 1/3 of gross annual income.

    If I make 100k, most likely my GTP would have to go. Now that I think about it, at 50k, my car would have to go lol

    100k a year buys a lot nicer car than a Grand Prix.

    I'd keep my GP, snail it. And also put most of that into restoring a '69 Goat.

    And smile it's Blacktooth Grin!

    if money wasn't an issue... yeah, i'd still have it. it's my second car, got it when i was 17, known exactly what's happened to it for the past 60k, and have had way too many memories in it. i'd like to have it till the body rusts off of it, but now that it's modded i'm sure something will break and i'll get tired of dumping money into it. assuming it doesn't, i'd like to do a manual trans swap but that's a pipe dream.

    I'll be over 100k in a couple years and I'll still have a 95 Bonneville. I definitely don't need a typical social status car.

    If I was banking that much I would have to let the GTP go. Either get something newer and faster stock while restoring a classic/building a hotrod... or just go all out and scratch off one of my dream cars.

    I only say this because at the end of the day my GTP is just another "Grant Prix". Whether its ZZP's 8sec 1/4 mile record holder or just another stock GP its a grand prix... but this will turn heads no matter who you are...


    And I would be proud of that. 92 3.3 Turbo S
    Est KBB is 30-50k depending on quality and miles... I can live with that

    I agree. I'm over 100k now. I'm selling the GTP and going to DD my $1500 Regal. I see no reason to buy cars for the cool factor.

    But I do have plenty of other cars that I have plans to restore. When you have no money, you have lots of time. When you have lots of money, you have no time. I associate closer with the latter.
