Don't you just hate deciding between hobbies?Jim W wrote:Quite true, and thats a very good point. I'm sure it is a 2005, but most likely a very early build. FWIW, consider the chrome bezels, totally sets off the interior (I've yet to do it, but its on my list - while I decide to either expand my photography gear or modify my GTPGonneVille wrote:A lot of little things like that get changed halfway through model years.captainmiller wrote:Thats odd...my VIN # brings up a 2005 on carfax and my insurance. The factory GM warrenty in the glove box, and the manual is for 2005 as well. Perhaps an early manufacture for the 2005 model year?)
I'm off tomorrow and it is supposed to be nice out...hopefully I can have a good photoshoot. The fall colours around here will make for a good back drop.

Nice GP! Congrats! The Bonne will be missed.
I'm way over my 94, though I still wish I had it as a winter car.

Good pictures! I wish mine had the quad tips instead of the stupid single outs the previous owner had put on. Gotta admit though, the 04+ GP's has a mug only a mother could love!

More good shots. I think that's the first time I've seen a S/C'd Series III.

Re: Bonne will be missed... *now with pics page 2*
Thanks for the pics. I rode in one of those once. It was pretty dandy. Back seat only, and no crazy stuff. It's a very smooth and quiet car from what I remember, and based on a few other GPs I've ridden in/driven. I think it's also a first for me that I've seen a Series 3 engine. As for the style, it grows on me every time I see it. It's still not as slick as the older GPs, but it's conventional enough while still being sporty and mean looking.
