A couple of pics of my GXP...

[Bigerik]

Thought I should finally share some pics of my GXP. Took these about a month back. Finally got around to getting them online.

Looks great!! Kinda goofy w/o HUD, though.

Just kidding. Any issues so far? How many miles/km's on it?

Yeah, every option but the HUD. Go figure.

Issues? Yup. A couple! How much time do you have?

Just turned 133,000 KM today (82,000 Miles?).

Great car! I really like that color.

Thanks!

The colour actually would not have been my first choice. Buying it new I would likely have gone with either the red or black. But it does look sharp.

I got time, lol. Gotta take ours to the dealer today to get the Air Bag light scanned...

Spill it Erik, whats up with the car?

Looks great though! Impressive detailing

Let me see....

I have an appointment to get the instrument cluster re-done.
Then the Steering Wheel Position (Rotation) switch is bad.

Just did the PS pump (twice), reservoir, High pressure line. Oh, and the belt while we were there. Hopefully the PS leak is gone now.

ISS a little while ago. Did the inner tie rods at the same time. Couple of tires.

Needs some pads and rotors. Vibration while decelerating from highway speeds.

More stuff I just can't think of right now.

It seems an oddly flakey car. No major issues, but just a little sensitive, it seems.

Not even a thorough detailing job. More touching it up now and then.

Not too different from how it was when you drove it.

Don't know if I will be keeping it or not. Might have a company car coming.

Do you need another N*/4T80 in the driveway, JIm?

[00Beast]

Don't ditch it already! Company car means you just keep the miles off the GXP! You know you'll regret selling it. Company cars can be a PITA about putting personal miles on.

Don't know that the company will be too hard on me about excess mileage. I am one of the owners...

[00Beast]

Ohhh, gotcha, lmao. Still. I think if you can afford to keep it, keep it.

Actually, it is more a matter of the accountants figuring out the best way to handle things.

I can afford to keep it. The car is paid off, so not an issue that way. Just have to see what makes the most sense.

A years storage shouldn't add up to too much....

Well as long as you get a G8 GXP as a company car, I could see your reasoning for selling the Bonnie, but since that won't happen I hope you can figure out a way to keep it (or at least keep in the Bonneville family)! That was a nice ride I took in it back in the spring. Gotta love that V8 groan! That was partially my motivation in buying the GP GXP (that and Peterg's lil test drive).

So you liked my car so much that you just had to go out and buy a faster one? :D

Well, the G8 GXP won't happen, how about a CTS V?

[RJolly87]

Seeing your pictures, I really now appreciate the looks of the GXP, more so than before.

Thanks!

Well, if the Aurora is dead (and it might very well be), short answer yes.

[Bigerik]

Well Jim, if you are interested, please let me know. Things might go very quickly, and I'd be willing to give you a great deal on it.
No worries either way. Just wanted you to know.
