Default Bought a Pontiac

Price was right, pulled the Solstice wheels and added a set of dipped SKY wheels.

Not a Turbo

I got this thing for under $10K before tax so I took it, wife loves it so the Kizashi is gone. Always liked the Solstice alot, it's just the SKY looks so much better.

I kinda like owning two orphan brands, maybe I'll look for a clean Oldsmobile next.

How many damn cars are you going to put in your driveway? By the way I like it, thanks for letting me drive it.

Darn - that's a fine ride. Looking at the pictures, however, remind me of where my brother lives in Henderson, Nevada. Those pictures could have been taken in his driveway ..........

How big of a power difference is it between the turbo version and the non turbo version (I never really followed GM cars before my saturn - so I dont really know)

Hmmmm ..... 300hp tweaked and tuned .....

Wonder if I could shoehorn that engine into my '93SW2? Sure would embarass some of the local "rice-burners" ......

Hehehe that thing would fly - you might beable to take on abit more than rice burners then, youll just have to keep tires on the front of it.
