I?ve had my 07 GXP for about 5 months and am really looking forward to nicer weather here in Ohio to be able to get out and play. I was a long time Fiero owner but my wife did not like the design and wanted something newer. So a GXP came across my path and I thought why not. I?m looking for a Solstice group to join, does anyone know of any around the area? Any help would be appreciated.
You have come to the right place!! Welcome aboard! I am the instigator for NE Ohio, but not to worry, we actually run in SE Ohio from Newcomerstown all the way south to Marietta and a little east of there also. I'm mainly on Facebook, but I can link the group info here.
I usually do a Spring run (SOS - Start of Spring) in May and a fall run (T2TR - Twisting to The River) during Columbus day weekend. My work schedule may not cooperate with me in May this year, but we'll see. It's a little up in the air right now.
There are a few other owners in the Dayton area! Look for a Red special edition Solstice - His name is Billy Martin if you run across him. Then there is another couple - Ron and Lynne. They had a sliver GXP, but they traded it for another one and I can't for the life of me remember what color they have now. Too many years with the silver one! There is also one other couple, but I don't see them out much any more - they also have a red Solstice. You'll find a few Skys to your east in Columbus also!
My dad also had a friend that had a solstice, but he's in his 80's now and I believe he sold it.
A guy named William Biddlecombe also has a nice event in September to Put-in-Bay, and there is another gentleman - Rick Metcalf who does a lot of car shows and has a nice little run in the Toledo area if you are willing to venture north a bit for something different!
Spring is coming, so we'll be out and about soon!
