Hello everyone,
Seen96, I live in Orchard Park, N.Y.
8 year old Matt, next summer bring your car and 3 kids to Fantasy Island Car Show, ( Grand Island, N.Y.), third week in August.
Mike, The GOAT you have sounds like a screamer!
Jerry, I have gone over 100 MPH in the GTP. Back in the 60's, I had a 1961 Chevy Impala (now they are called bubble tops), with a 348 C.I., with 2 four barrels. I am not sure how fast I went, the speedometer only went to 120 MPH.
Larry H., Thanks for your help in registering to this forum.
Rick, Thanks for the welcome, are you still an active Marine?
Carl, where is your Pontiac?
Seems like I am one of the Senior Citizens in this Club.
Thanks for making me feel welcome. I look forward to being with people who appreciate the difference between a regular Grand Prix and a high performance model. Too bad GM didn't dress up the GTP, I guess I will have to do that myself, any suggestions?
Take care,
Sal Cerrone

I chose the father of the 3.8 chasis. It's okay that Pontiac had to borrow the engine.

Negative I got out last year after 7 being in for years. I'm medically discharged/retired, I guess I took that whole use and abuse your body thing too far and now I have a shitty back. I miss it like a son of a bitch though and wish I was back down south where cars are rust free and the women wear less clothes. besides southern hcicks with they way they talk is sexy as all hell |

Hello everyone,
Ed Green, I f that is apicture of your 2004 GTP, I notice your wheels are different then mine.
Carl, Thanks for the Auto history info, until 2004 when my wife and I were looking for a new car, we almost bought a Buick LeSabre, until I spotted the new Grand Prix's, prior to that I was stuck in the last Century.
Matt, I am not sure when you are clowning around?
Rick, thanks for serving our Nation, I hope you are receiving the proper medical care, good luck with the southern chicks, they can be like a double edged sword.
Take care,
Sal Cerrone |

Hello everyone,
Brian, it seems you have made some modifications on your GTP. My GTP is still OEM, only oil changes. Only 16,800 miles. I was thinking SUPERCHARGED decals or emblems and a different air spoiler.
Also, I have 17" 5 curved spoke chrome aluminum wheels.
I would be interested in obtaining a back up set of OEM wheels.
Take care,
Sal Cerrone

Matt's shenanigans are mean and hurtful.
He thinks he's funny and he thinks everyone else thinks he is funny.

That about sums it up, really.
If you aren't sure that I'm screwing around, it's safe to assume that I am. |

Hello everyone,
Larry, I drive the 1993 Buick Roadmaster Wagon with snow tires in winter. Great car in winter (like a tank), 25 MPG doing 70 MPH on highway, loaded like a Caddy,leather and very comfortable ride.
The wife will drive the 2008 Impala this winter (with Grandkids), previously she drove our 2005 Monte Carlo, but she complained about only having 2 doors. The wife drives only the GM cars with Onstar and safety equipment (grandkids), the 2008 Impala, besides having 4 doors,has side curtain airbags. I want my 5 Grandkids to be safe, and yes I spoil them.
I have question, why is it the women always drive the newer car?
Later,
Sal Cerrone |

What's not to like about a w body? Well, except the engine facing the wrong direction driving the wrong wheels. And understeer. And rusty gas door fillers and rockers. And windshield cowl leaks. And engine fires. |
