New GXP owner from Aurora, TX
« on: June 13, 2021, 07:44:48 PM »
Just bought my first sports car for myself since I was 17 years old.  I am now 50.  All other vehicles have been Chevy trucks.  2008 Black GXP, manual.  Looking forward to having fun and doing some basic modifications.  Hope to get some good advice.  Thanks everyone.   :cool:

Welcome
Lots of knowledge here as well as very nice upstanding people.
I've been out of the Solstice arena for 6 yrs now and just got a little sentimental the other day and tried to locate my old vehicle.
I might still have some goodies I saved from when I had my GXP.
