View Full Version : Back Behind the Wheel of the Grand Am GT

After speaking with my insurance agent about bringing the GA out of storage either this coming up weekend or Easter weekend, I learned that with the GTP under my name, the Grand Am would only cost $25.23 a month! So i put her back on insurance last night!
Today is luckily a 50 degree day, so I changed her oil, replaced a bad blinker bulb and am now diligently wondering why the F my subs don't work! I have power running to the amplifier, but nothing. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the amp itself, but my bro is going to look at it tonight and hopefully he'll be able to find out what's wrong with it. Otherwise I suppose it's almost time for a new amp.
If I manage to get out and about I'll try and post some pics with the new headlights!

As I mentioned above we're having a relatively warm Minnesota March day. I took her out for her first photoshoot and here's what I came up with. (Just curious: is it possible to win Grand Am of the Week more than once?)

I hear ya, that was my situation until i found out how cheap insurance was now, and we're luckily having a warm March. The last couple days have been 45 degree days. We have rain/snow coming tonight so I won't be driving her until possibly Friday :( (at least she still gets Garage Parking)

Yes, I found that 15 foot treasure behind a Target and strip mall lol
Really nice pics and car

What you doing about the whole AED thing?
I haven't been able to do anything sinceLen never answers his phone or replies to email/PMs! Even if he did there is a 99.9% chance he'd just dish out more empty promises (I was supposed to get the hood back in June for my grad party, and again it was ready to be shipped out as soon as they returned to Cali from Michigan)
Looks good is that Gus's old spoiler?
No I ended up hacking Gus's wing with an axe (shame, it had an amazing paintjob) UPS damaged it during shipment. This is the one I bought and "RECEIVED[/U]" from AED and JDitch helped me put it togetehr just in time for my Grad party.
Thanks guys!

hmmm. well the only thing i think could have happened to your amp is while in storage it got so cold, maybe built up even the slightest bit of frost, then it thawed and the condensation ruined it.. lol i know its out there but it could happen
