I am telling you it made a god-awful noise before I took it to the tech. Whenever the boost and RPM's were up, it was a dog also. It had not guts. I am sure that it finally went bang when he was driving it. I know the service manager and guys that work there. I have bought 3 vehicles from them in the past. He did feel bad that it happened.

And as far as a lawyer, it would cost more to get one then it would to fix the car. If it would not have acted so bad before I took it there I would have been on them more. They gave me a good deal on the Commander. I will tell you one thing, those commanders with a tune are one bad little 4x4. I will definitely have fun in the snow this year :lol:

Just remember, it'll go fast in the snow, but it won't stop fast....

Where I am going there will be no need to stop fast ;-)

The funny thing is I already found a programmer, CAI, and some exhausts. Trying to decide between a Gibson, borla, or Magnaflow.

Don do you drive your G8 in the snow? I had my eye on a G8 GXP at the dealer but the price about made me crap, and my wife has never drove a manual. She has to drive the other vehicle to work when I am off with my twin daughters. My daughter did love the G8 and the camaro and picked them over every other vehicle.

Yeah I drive my car in the snow, and it did great last winter with the Eagle GT's I put on it. Mine is an automatic and I payed $20K for it used. The GXP is over priced, and with the mods I have it will pretty much run dead even with it in the quarter mile.
