Newb! 2006 Solstice
« on: October 05, 2009, 07:52:58 PM »
Hey everyone,

I was introduced to this forum by DeepBlueGXP. Met him briefly at the Capital Pontiac car show. Couldn't stay long as I was on my way back home from a wedding in VA Beach and was TIIIRREEED! My dad was there too asking all kinds of solstice questions LOL. He always claims to hate new pontiacs (he's got a bunch of older ones) but he seems to really like the sol.

Anyways, I bought a 2006 Red Solstice 5spd with 13k miles on it last month from a dealer in Wilmington, NC.

Got a pretty good deal on it and have really been enjoying it so far (my first convertible as well which is a blast!)

I keep seeing posts about a mod meet in Maryland... not sure if I can make that or not.

Here's a teaser pic of the new ride



Looking forward to learning from everyone

Steve
