It's got my Volvo wagon!!! I think that one is a year older though.

Talons being classic cars, does that affect insurance at all?

You kids must all be too young to remember when the Grand Prix (and Monte Carlo) came with a V8.

They were also HUGE, heavy and, I believe, only available in 2 door.

Edit: nevermind, I just looked at the link, and they mention the FWD cars. I was thinking back to when they were also RWD....

Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

GXP had a 5.3L V8, the GTP was supercharged AFAIK.

Random list lol.

GTP has the 3800 series 2 with a blower. The GXP had the V8, to different generations of Grand Prick.

Lets face it, DSMs are easily the biggest cult classic car ever created.

They are more addicting than anything else I have owned, and their style was one of a kind!

From what I gather (Wiki), there were V8 GTPs before the '90s and it was not the body style they show in the picture. Then V8 wasn't available again until 2006, which is not nearly a classic yet!

Oh and the 2G they show in the picture, it's gonna need at least another 5 years to be a classic ponder
My 1G is almost ready, however pimp

Wow, I've been here for almost 5 years now, and I think I've had a new DSM for every year I've been here.
