My wife has been holding out for a convertible Camaro (she owned two 2nd-gen's back in the day), but with the 'vert in limbo for awhile yet, she's interested in the G8 GXP. Unfortunately we can't financially swing it for a few months, and the GXP's are become scarce (since there were only 1828 made). Might have to look for a used one next summer...

Re: Woot! My mom just got a G8 GT!

Nice car. My Mom actually drives the exact same car with the exception of being Sport Red like Hitman and T Type's cars.

I really enjoy driving it, plenty of go power and a great feel to the suspension and steering. It's not a bad place to spend a few hours driving cross county, either.

How long before she starts modding for extra power?

My brother's friends claim that she is a MILF. She went into his work the other day and that was all that he heard about for the rest of the day.

As to the surprise, I learned a big lesson yesterday: Do not surprise my mom with big gifts...

I guess she has a problem not being involved in the sale, and not knowing that my dad traded in her car. She basically flipped her ****, and not in a good way. She was much calmer and much more appreciative of the car today. I think that she was also having a bad day...

Overall though, she does like it, and absolutely loves the color!

I may have to jump the G8 band wagon. That thing is hot.

Don't repeat this to your mom but it sounds like your dad pulled a fast one..

Easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.. LOL

Awesome car.

She probably forgot she said she wanted that red hot G8 GT!
