2004 Impulse blue metallic, 44k miles. It'll be legal tomorrow.

One picture for now.

Very, very nice! And it's actually an attractive BLUE. Not like that horrible, faded looking, poor excuse for a Ford Escape blue that looks purple. Blue needs to be the right shade or it just doesn't work. Yours is the right shade!

This is the replacement for the gtp but I haven't sold it yet so now it's parked till somebody buys it.

This really is amazing though.

The pic doesn't say much, but it looks like it was cared for with the anal level of detail that Lane could be accused of having.

Did Lane cut loose a GTO?

It was actually a younger guy and he said he owned the car 9 years and barely driove it. He said he just didn't have time to enjoy it anymore. It's got a few new parts on it, but it does have some flaws. Most are easy fixes but the biggest thing is the tires. They are new but they are very cheap Chinese tires, I'm actually thinking of swapping the tires over from the Grand Prix since they are nearly he same size.

DONT LET THE CHEAP TIRES GO TO WASTE - HAVE SOME FUN AT their expense!!

I approve of this message.

Go spoilerless. It's all the rage.

IBM > All other GTO colors.

I was waiting for you to post as all I had was the pic in the text.

Also, I see you have the FRC's off, leave them off. "04's had an issue with the cover rubbing the fuel line potentially causing fires.

Harbles warmed.

You need to edit out that *dang* Chrysler product in a few of them.

God, so jealous!! That is definitely a very clean example of a GTO. The question is, will you actually drive yours (@Lane) :roll:

Congrats! Definitely a nice upgrade over the Grand Prix.

Mine has been driven. It has 15k on it. Which is 15k too much!

Thanks, so far it feels much better than the Grand Prix (no noise over bumps either). And this thing will be driven as much as possible. Rain or shine but never snow and salt. I drove it 300 miles home from outside Pittsburgh to Detroit and then yesterday evening I got it plated finally and I took it out and just drove for a bit to get a feel for it.

On the list for this week is fixing the parking brake and getting my Pioneer stereo from the Grand Prix installed. There is the tire delimma but I just have to find a place that'll swap them over that isn't gonna charge me an arm and leg to do it.

You need to get your signature updated now, since it's official.

Also, I'm really going to be needing a ride in it at the meet.

A ride? No, I plan on bang-shifting this thing from Matt's to Big Boy and back, at the very least.


Looks great Ryan!!!
