Default Kris new Auto X car GXP

Kris and I just got back from a 15 hour road trip.

She bought a GXP out in Tx yesterday. Decided to get rid of her e30 track car and get something with 260 HP.


She like the color of Treekillers car so went with Brazen Orange. Its a cool color changes depending on the amount of light. There were only 1155 of these coupes made so it should be a pretty unique car.

Already washed and all the bugs removed.

That is a BEAUTIFUL car! Congratulations! You are going to love that Turbo'd 2.0! Fantastic engine. I think the GXP coupe is one of the best looking cars around. Not often you see them.

Yep Mars this is the 3rd American car I- we have purchased in the last 4 years. So now we have a Dodge Ram and Saturn and the Pontiac. We will see how they hold up. Since the BMWs have been running for over 200k miles without major issues.

Snook. So have you sold your Solstice? I saw it was listed.
We really liked the look of the Coupe. Kris wanted the Orange, and since there may be no more coupes made we decided to grab one. My brother works for GM so between the employee price and rebates we got a great deal. The only problem was there were only 2 Orange cars in the US left. One in MI and this one in TX. Hence the road triip.

Gues it will be easy to spot in photos, from the Auto Xs and Sebring days.

So that is the "orange" she is driving ...

May the radar guns look the other way as she passes by as her lead foot returns

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

That car is classically sexy. I'm jealous... and it's very rare that any new car makes me jealous any more!

Our Solstice has not sold yet. I can tell that if it was a coupe, it would not be for sale! That Brazen Coupe is a keeper. The new wheels look great.
