Okay, my turn

Post #191,714 by Nightowl 1/26/05 1:08:34 PM Reply	Okay, my turn Current car: 1 1968 Plymouth Fury Commando V-8. 383 Engine, 2 door, named Sapphire. When I'll replace her? I plan to keep her until it's no longer feasible to repair her. :) I've had her since 1987, purchased with 65,000 original miles on her. Car to replace her with: 2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT named Galaxy. Already own it, in fact, it's John's car. He's promised me that if Sapphire ever dies completely, I can have Galaxy. Galaxy came about because he asked me to look for a car I would like to replace Sapphire with (at one of the points where we thought she wasn't repairable). I fell in love with the Pontiac Grand AM GT in 2000. 2 years later, John's GEO Prism died, and he purchased a Pontiac Grand Am GT 2002..... I was in heaven, I have both my old car, and the one I want someday in the garage... and I get to drive Galaxy on weekends and times John is off work! Why I would replace Sapphire with Galaxy? Because I wanted a car that felt as much like my 383 V8 car as possible, and the GT won that honor. When I test drove the GT I was very happy with the feel of the car, and the power under the hood. I wouldn't have known it was a V-6, it acts like a V-8. Brenda "The people of the world having once been deceived, suspect deceit in truth itself." -- Hitopadesa 600?-1100?

I still have the pictures and article from the Car & Driver article they published when it came out. When I heard they were gonna remake the Dodge Magnum, I was elated, even anticipating it's release, until I saw it. Sadly, the new design of the Magnum pales against the original... I took one look at it and just couldn't believe it. I imagine it still hauls ass, I hear it has a lot of power, but I also have to like how the car looks, and the Pontiac GT meets both of those standards for me. I also once wanted (between the Magnum and the GT), a Dodge Daytona. Those cars rocked too, but I never owned one. Got to test drive a couple though! Brenda Edit: P.S. If they had offered it in something other than Wagon Form, the new Dodge Magnum might have had a chance with me, but in wagon form it looks like a short Limo. Bleah. And the old-style front grille looks ridiculous on it as well. "The people of the world having once been deceived, suspect deceit in truth itself." -- Hitopadesa 600?-1100?
