OT, Bought a Car: G8 GT

 

After nineteen years with my old faithful '89 Formula Firebird, I
bought a new car that actually fits my boys in the back seat (w/room
to spare). It also seems to fit all their hockey gear in the trunk!

It's pretty cool. My wife and sons fell in love with it at the dealer
last week. I went and did some reading and based on some great reviews
by all the car-rags (as well as all the on-line reviews done on it),
we done went and did the deal just in time for Mother's Day.
Firebird will stay in the family as my son will be sixteen soon. I get
to teach him to drive a clutch car now (shouldn't be too hard as he
rides a dirt-bike well).

Congrats, Rayvan.

But will it beat a Sportster in a drag?  ;)

    I've never seen a Sportster in drag ....

    Some come mighty close, though :-).

On Star and a black box that will rat on you to the cops.  I have
really liked the Olds I have, but I won't buy a car with On Star or a
black box that will rat on me.
