Located a loaded, 2008 GXP, super low miles (8k), and brought it home. It had never seen rain, snow, nothing but sunshine and nice weather, that will change, now!

Let the modding begin, in earnest, while I work on getting Kenny back to normal. (and try not to steal too many things from him for the new one)

Aspenrose there is a Body hanging out the passenger door . Other than that it is a good looking Sol.

Perhaps some braking issues?

he's resting comfortably, until I suck it up and march him right back to the offending shop and "give them the opportunity" to correct what they fubar'd.

Sweet! It's nice to know there are still low mile kappas out there.

I had a list of a couple dozen that fit my criteria, #1, low miles, #2, manual, and #3 not another 06. found two further away, both with under 500 miles, one, a Mean, had 101, and it was also an 08!

Congrats on the new Kappa!!! If I had two, I would be totally broke because I would buy 2 of every mod LOL.

Manual... definitely a requirement

I'm glad you were able to get what you were looking for.

Sweet Indeed! What an awesome find and now the fun begins with the mods. Have you decided on a name for the 2008 GXP?

Aspenrose · « **Reply #19 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:43:28 AM »

Well, I started calling him BoB yesterday at the dealer, just cuz he needed to be called something. Figured it was just temporary until I came up with something.
Well, on the way home, while trying to avoid anything resembling a highway, Mz Garmin advised a left on this road...the road was a short, bumpy, one and a half lane paved affair, with a twist in the middle...so we stopped to take a pic at the end of it..

Fate has a way of directing our path onto one we may not have chosen for ourselves.

BoB (make sure you spell it right

) is awesome! And me...a tad bit jealous. Can't wait to be sitting on the front porch now when someone walks by and there are 3 Solstice sitting there!

I have been spelling it backwards for years. BTW never name anything a verb!!!!!!

Someone will think you're having a car show or mod meet

With the exception of no jack stands, no tool floating around, no loud music, and no vendors present ....I guess you're right.

Mod-us interrupt-us briefly, rain has stopped momentarily, back to the tasks at hand...secret to breaking the tulip panel screws loose to install the WR posts?? I remember now, the last time, back in 06, it was not easy...
