Hi everyone. It has been a long time coming. GN's have always been on my list, and thought about selling my 85 TA about 2 or 3 times for a GN. The 85 Trans AM was purchased back in 88, kept it up for 19 years. Installed Recaro SRD seats , factory GM cloth, ZZ3 motor and some 1 LE parts from a racer I had known. I sold it to a good friend who is taking fantastic care of it so I could redo the roof on my back then newer home. In 08 I had purchased a C5 vette, auto. Yeah, I know auto.. but it was quick compared to a stick. Did some work to it, new LS6 intake, TI exhaust, tune and some more basic stuff. Well, been saving funds since then and the really nice GN should be home today. The GN's always has been on my list of bad ass cars to respect and has certainly been on my list of cars to own. Glad to be a part of the forum and the new owner of a nice GN. Thanks guys..
 
Good luck with the new car. This the place to find the answer to any question you might have about your car. Did you buy it local ?

Hey guys.. I'm from Southington, just off Queen. Actually took delivery of the car this morning. Its funny, I am in the middle or redoing our kitchen, and couldn't help but stop for breaks just to look at the car. Wife seems to think the kitchen will never be finished now.. :)

You must be a stones-throw from where I live. Bison originally from this area as well. I live up the big hill.

Humm.. sounds like I may need to take a ride up on the 19th, never been there yet and certainly would like to meet some Regal pilots.


James, have your info, I noticed the GTA style wheels, actually I think I bought some stuff from you years ago. Low mileage TA with a motor issue, I think, am I correct? I will certainly have your info ready should I need anything.

Bison, I've been texting you right? I'm pretty certain I have the right user, just want to make sure. Brian is pretty much the reason I liked the GN's back when PCA was still around.

Time to find some more GN books.. I'll be back tomorrow.
 
Hi Mark. Just wanted to let you know the flyer link you have listed is not working for some reason.

Yes you're correct. Street night has started at LVD. You should check everything over on your car and get a number out of it as is then start doing some bolt on stuff.

Welcome, and your avatar doesn't do that car justice!
I know the car and previous owner and it was very well cared for and only made better the short time he owned it! Hope to see you and the car around some time.
