Oh? Nice. Also curious if the GXP is staying.

I just saw Livernois got a SHO to run 11s on meth and big turbos. :evil:

Long story short, the GXP was pelted with hail this summer. I paid my $100 comp deductible to get $2100 to fix the damage. It really wasn't that bad, with the only noticeable dents on the hood and front fender. I think the dealership that sent the quote to my insurance company worked really hard to find every little ding. I had the dents removed via PDR at my preferred body shop for $345 and there is virtually no evidence of any hail remaining. A few super small dings, but I'm not so sure they weren't there before anyways. I will keep it for now, but I might let her go just for the fact that I still love the car and it is still being good to me. I'd like to finish my Northstar experience on a good note.

Can't believe I didn't post pictures of the SHO. This was from last fall, although when Spring decides to show up and stay I have some work to do. H&R springs, Livernois Tune, thermostat, and catless downpipe all waiting to go in! Unfortunately, the GXP is gone. Had a good offer from the local dealership actually, and now someone here in the small town of Tea is driving it. See it now and then, although I have yet to see it clean, which sort of hurts my eyes. Been kickin' myself for selling it, but the new go fast parts should make me feel better.... #MISSINGmyV8
