I took some new pics of my car today after washing it yesterday for an hour and a half at my apartment. I had to get some dirt out of the door jams, clean up the engine bay for the first time ever, clean up the wheels thoroughly, and get quite a lot of dead bugs out of the fog light area and blinker area. Good lord do those blinkers catch a lot of bugs in the crevice around them!!! I haven't figured out an easy method of cleaning that honey comb bug killer on the front either. Any tips?

Anyway, the car attracts a lot of women LOL. I talked to about 20. It helps to park between the pool and where everybody lives I guess. The GXP attracts a lot of smiles and conversations (after I start them) compared to my old Corolla. It's truly impossible not to love this car. I love every single thing about it. The quality is top notch and everything is great. Pontiac deserved more praise for this car than it got.

Sorry for the bad lighting, I didn't take most of these pics until after 6 pm.

Nose is clean

Cleaned the wheels three times. I always use Turtle Wax brand spray on wheel cleaner. It seems to do a very fair job on all wheels. The front ones had a lot of brake dust. I sprayed them once, used a brush, rinsed, sprayed again, rinsed, sprayed again, used a mitt on the inside of the wheels, rubbed all the black gunk I could off, and rinsed. They look pretty good.

Went to where I bought my car last January and took some pics in front of the logo.

Some more pics, unfortunately the front shot is terribly lit, but I thought it'd be weird not including it. My mom's in the car in these pics because we were out looking at cars together.

Here's some other cars I took pics of today that were for sale at this dealership as well as other ones:

look at the weird placement of the old style antenna on the Solstice Coupe GXP:
Image

G8 GXP; seems like overkill, there's a big gas guzzler tax and it only gets 20 on the highway, I'd stick with the G8 GT:
Image

Rolls Royce:
Image

Maserati Granturismo (my favorite current car by any manufacturer):
Image

Skyline GTR:
Image

Audi R8:
Image

Chrysler 300 limo, sadly no price on the window sticker... I'm curious:
Image

Viper SRT10, sadly no Challengers on the lot. Dallas domestic car dealerships seem to be running out of sports cars. People are buying them up QUICK. Even the Pontiac dealership lacked many G8s. Only had 6 I think:

Nice looking pics. As for the front wheels and the brake dust.. yea. That's why I switched to Ceramic pads. Might consider that when you need new brakes.

lol no way! It already looks regular enough as is!

They should have put SLP hoods on them I think. I've never seen a GXP with that hood though, so who knows if it would even look nice.

Nah, I wouldn't be interested in putting one on my car, but I would like to see one on a GXP someday. I think I've only seen two pics of different GPs with them.
