Yep, It's an 06, and almost fully loaded. The only big things it's missing that I'd like are a sunroof and HUD, but it was between this one and a base model with almost nothing, this one won.

It's sharp, it's clean, and it's fast..so I'm pretty happy. The only noticeable things wrong are the lumbar is broken in my seat, and the intermediate steering shaft is rattling. I bought an extended GM warranty that covers everything for a $100 deductible so I'll get those fixed eventually.

The Bonneville, unfortunately, was getting too old and too slow for me. She had a bad oil leak, along with other problems like the front end making noises and other things that I couldn't fix myself since I don't have anywhere I can work on my car. The underside was all rusted from it being a Michigan car, the A/C didn't blow cold enough for the Texas heat, and I was basically ready for an upgrade...

Wouldn't mind having one of those! I'm curious what kind of mileage these cars get with the L32.

That seems to be a common thing with the L32, it doesnt get good fuel mileage. My Aurora got better mileage.

Good looking car (despite the last GP having a bug fugly face).

Mines optioned exactly the same way but it isn't an L32. I'd would have thought you would have at least have the Monsoon package in that. Does your DIC have the g-meter in it?

(And personally, I think having the engine hours meter was a freaking waste of space in there)

Yeah I'd rather have something more useful than engine hours, but who am I to complain? It doesn't have a g-meter, and no Monsoon, and no sunroof either, but I couldn't find one that was fully decked out unfortunately. If I found one with a sunroof, it was missing dual climate control and leather, and so on. Either way, I'm still a happy boy now...I like having all the "bells and whistles" as my dad calls them. Gives me something to show off lol
