My '09 Pontiac G8 GXP 6M Journal

HKYStormFront

Haven't posted anything recently because I've been so busy. The GXP made the trip to St. Petersburg for race a little over a month ago. I took my friend Dustin (from Z1), his wife and myself along with all our luggage and my photo gear. Both Dustin and Erin were really impressed with the car as we all three took turns driving the beast. On the highway the new Super Sport tires really showed their advantage providing a quiet, comfortable ride. After St. Pete, I took it to Stone Mountain to meet with the Georgia G8 club for their first big meet. That was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of really nice G8 owners!



That's me standing almost dead center with my friend Ryan on the left and my car just above and to the left.

Somewhere during this time, my dad bought me a set of Lloyd Premium floor matts for the car. They came out great! (see pics in link below)

A few weeks later I drove the car to Barber Motorsports Park for the next World Challenge race. Once again proving to be exactly what I wanted in a car, I ended up with 3 other people along with my luggage and photo gear comfortably whisking us back to Carrollton, GA, to drop a few friends off at Z1. For this leg of the trip back I decided to let Jon drive as I was pretty beat from walking every square inch of Barber and insanely long days in the paddock (see my post about the race for my info on why!).



After all this running around the car was really starting to look worse for wear, despite my best efforts to keep it clean. In the capable hands of my good friend Andy, I dropped off the car last week so it could be detailed just in time for ZdayZ next weekend. Andy made a post about it over on DetailersBliss. Here's a link to that so y'all can see the paint correction process, it came out amazing from what I can see!
