I am the proud owner of a Red (oh, gee, I don't even know the correct color name, it's like a garnet red) '09 Solstice Coupe!

I've been lurking here for a while as a visitor, and finally got around to registering.

This is my dream car, and when the CFO (wife) finally said I could, I hunted one down and bought it (2 sold before I could get to them!). I am a native Washingtonian (as in the District of Columbia) currently residing in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area, and have 5 children (adults), and 6 grand-children.

I also love music and try to play guitar and bass guitar (something I dabble in) and I like to take pictures. Anyways, I hope to meet some of you at a meet or somesuch in the coming months!

Welcome! Whereabouts in the "Greater Washington Metropolitan Area" do you reside. There's a lot of us around the area... for example, I'm in Gaithersburg (well normally, in FL right now though)

Thanks for the welcome! OK, I'll post pics, but all I have right now are from my phone:

Welcome to the Kappa Performance Forum dabbler and your wicked Coupe is indeed awesome. You will become addicted after getting acquainted with those who hang out on this forum. As I recall the color wicked is one of the rarest Kappa's.

Gentleman Jack · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:00:08 PM »

Very nice. One of the sweetest, most caring, kindest and wonderful people in the world has a coupe just that same color...

You will get to meet her soon. Please make sure she knows I said all those sweet things about her.

If GM had painted the Kappas an earth tone would they have named it "GJ brown noser"?

Welcome to the forum Dabbler, I would warn you about all the others around here but than they are just going to warn you about me. None of it's true I tell you, at least not the negative things about me.

Sure... it says that now. Pretty sure it didn't say that when I posted. But even if it did:

I saw the announcement about this too, but I doubt that I'll be able to do anything this weekend.

And, I can already see that I'm gonna enjoy the folks on this forum quite a bit! Great cars

, great people

, it doesn't get much better than this! I just hope I don't spoil it all!

It is about a 4 hour run each way. I have done it before in one day but it does wear on you.

For the old guys in the group it would I suppose...

Welcome to the Kappa Koupe Klub!
Not sure if you're interested in performance modding, GMPP (Crate Engine Depot), plus their plug & play pigtail so no more crimping into original harness), of course others prefer the Westers Tune, and DDM Probeam & Backbone, and couple different front chassis braces available to tighten it up.

Solo Performance for exhaust. Just be aware to advise them you have a coupe because they'll probably advise resonators due to the coupes inherent cabin drone.

Solstice GXP Coupe with Solo RCD Exhaust and High Flow CAT

If auto, 4 for around town driving, D for highway (fth gear).

Go-Driven appreciates last 6 digits of VIN to attempts to keep record of coupe owners on big board.

Respectful folks here, without the drama.

Too funny Chop, I was going to say your house and road look a lot like Joe's (DeepBlue), They I realized that is Dee's (Lady-in-Red) car. The lake was the give away.

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #24 on:** July 10, 2012, 08:31:31 PM »

I would have thought the garage at the very beginning was the give away. That was before he built the shed for Kappa parts.
