Well, this will be a joint thing with my wife (I'm sure I'll do most of the posting though!). I've been trolling for a while now and finally set up our account. There is a lot of great info here...thanks!

We purchased two '08 GXP's a month ago... mine's a Sly w/manual tranny and my wife's is a Mean w/auto tranny.

Due to issues with the dealer, my wife has only had hers for four days since we bought 'em, but I've put close to 1200 miles on mine and done an oil change (love the filter set up).

So far I love this thing! We'll post some pics when we're allowed.

OK, here are a few pics of the cars. We took a little drive together a few days ago and snapped these.










The yellow is getting stripes next month... I'll post some pics after it's done.

Congrats. Except on the dealer issue part. Eesh!

I am debating on an auto coupe for the wife. I draw the line at matching outfits though.

It's in the trunk... plates haven't arrived for hers yet. Unfortunately we're in a front plate state.

Congrats, nice pics'. You need 2 Sols today. They are so fun to drive, you don't want to just sit in the passenger seat & wait your turn. Sorry to hear you're in a front plate state.
