Since the G6GTP lease was coming to a close it was decision making time........buyout the lease or get something new (different). Well here's what we decided!

It took very little convincing for Lisa to trade the G6 for the GXP. That V8 growl is music to our ears! Thanks to Peterg, for after one ride in his car I was hooked!

Those are Lisa's numbers Mike! She won't let me "test" out that guage.....seems there's a direct corelation between it and the gas gauge! :nono:

I checked it the other day and it was showing .71, 1.01, and .74, I'm sure I can do better than that though :twisted:
