Hey, how are you all doing? My name is Ben, I own a black '98 GT Coupe. I live near Cortland NY, but im currently in Iraq with the NY army national guard. Im 20, but Im not really a kid I guess. Im a medic so ive seen my share of stuff. and Im a college student with an undecided majore between medical and math teacher. enough about me, now about my car:

It's my DD, I have a 92 Camaro as well thats, well, slower than my grand prix for now. My mods on the GP are:

SLP Spoiler, 17" Mustang Anthracite Bullitt's, 5% tint on the rear, 35% on the front, clear corners, and orange trim. It really is more show than go, I haven't done anything really performance wise. It's got the cloth interior, but I wanna see if I can't find some leather seats for it eventually. It's got a nice sound system in it: 2 12" TC1000 subwoofers in a custom Sunburst Orange Metallic Fiberglass Box, and I just ordered a Sundown SAE-1000D amp for it. Also I ordered the Illuminated HUmount. Thats all I can think of, I hope to get to meet a lot of you here soon!

I have a couple pictures in my Fquick

hey, thanks for the welcome guys. I get a lot of time to post because I work night shift in the clinic (8 hours ahead of you guys) and it's usually pretty quiet. I do missions, but very rarely because im in a leadership position over here so im not able to go out as much as id like.

btw Jon, your car is awesome. If I ever decide to start modding the engine, which Im sure I will someday, I'll definitely hit you up for help.
