May 8, 200619 yr 6/5/06 update_______________________________ OK, so I got the car cleaned up this past weekend while at my buddy's house. Here's a couple new pics and one of his car. __________________________________________ Well, here are some pics from the weekend. Managed to get the car cleaned up a bit, even though I was out of town. The rest of the pics may come next weekend after a more thorough cleaning. And one to amuse Josh... the new background on my Sprint phone ] Edited June 6, 200619 yr by Olds Guy
May 8, 200619 yr b-e-a-utiful car olds. I was just down at the dealer yesterday and they had one just like it. I only drooled on my shirt a little. I would love to own one of these cars one day, just can't make it happen right now. Nice ride.
May 8, 200619 yr Nice pics. It looks good and I really like the color. I think you should lower it about half an inch though to get rid of some of the wheel-well gap. Were you really going almost 100MPH at only 1k rpms, or did you like shift to neutral or something in that pic?
May 8, 200619 yr Author I was wondering how long it would be before that got noticed. The magic of PhotoShop. I was doing 25, not 95. Thanks for the comments. The GXP logo on the phone pic is from my door sill plates. Nice touch, GM!
May 8, 200619 yr Congrats on the new ride. Kinda funny your name is Olds Guy and you have two Pontiacs. :AH-HA_wink:
May 8, 200619 yr Author The Aztek belongs to my mother-in-law. Actually we have a Pontiac and a Buick. The Buick: New Vous GM has made it awful difficult to buy a new Oldsmobile these days! Edited May 8, 200619 yr by Olds Guy
May 8, 200619 yr Congrats on your new ride. I'll hit my 1 year mark with my '05 GXP in a week. Great car and no problems to speak of!
May 9, 200619 yr Very cool! I wish they had kept the driving lights in the traditional place up front, I'm sure they could have fit the turn signals on the inner corners of the headlight clusters. My only other real gripes w/ this gen GP are the rear end and the body-side rub strip- the way it ends at the front edge of the door makes it look like the wrong fender is on there. Like the fender vent, tho. And after all is said and done, it's a V8 GP, can't argue w/ that! That's a great color, too. Any mods on it yet?
May 11, 200619 yr Great car. The Impala SS is a little too mushy, but I love the sportier and more driver-oriented GXP FWD, yes, but at least it's done VERY well in this car.
June 6, 200619 yr Author Had some fun with the car this past weekend. Got it cleaned up, and took some more pics. Its funny how in the one you can clearly see the yellow Bilsteins. That the first pics I got that has that.
June 6, 200619 yr Nice color, but you need to do something with the front fascia... I still don't like the GXP's.
June 7, 200619 yr haha I caught the MPH vs. RPM thing, too. Nice car.. same color as my dad's but a helluva lot quicker.
June 8, 200619 yr hey if its possible id like to see chrome trim on that quarter panel vent . . . the grill has it and the vent might look good with it too beautiful car just get a differnt rear wing not a lip spoiler actually if you darkened theo tint and gave the window a chrom trim outline and then dropped it about an inch it would be hot as $h!

June 9, 200619 yr Nice! I like the GP GXP more and more every time I see one, which is rather often, seems like I see one every day. (EDIT- OK, I'm a dope, I forgot I'd already replied here.) Have you seen these tallight covers? http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Scre...gory_Code=04EXT IMHO, they fix the biggest flaw in the car's styling. I saw a white 04+ GP w/ these on and painted body-color, and MAN what a difference! FWIW Edited June 9, 200619 yr by Mach5GTP
