MY Toy Of Summer
IMG_9173

It might not be quite in the same league as Echowood's Z4, but this baby is now mine all mine.

I took delivery on Friday of a slightly used Pontiac Solstice, after wanting one ever since they were first announced. It's not only in beautiful condition, but it came with an XM/DVD/iPOD/GPS/Bluetooth-hands-free/front-and-rear-parking camera geek dream unit (the Pioneer AVIC-D3 if you're really interested). Since then I've been desperately dreaming up places to drive - "I could go to the grocery store... or I could go to the grocery store three towns over" - and editing my Drivetime playlist so when I'm at a stoplight with the hood down getting admiring glances, The Spice Girls don't come on rotation.

Any recommendations for cool drives within a 50 mile radius of NYC would be greatly appreciated.

Well, now you mention it, she does purr softly in my ear, hug me on the curves, and never complains that I'm a bad listener.....

Welcome to Kappa ownership!

I had #14/1000 of the 2006 model and traded up to a 2008 GXP last year. You will definitely enjoy this car. There are plenty of others in your area to drive with and show you some stuff about the car. I am in Syracuse, so I am too far away to see your perma-grin.

This looks like an NA, and yes you can add a lot of power to the car when you are ready. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message me whenever.

Excelsior, do not encourage him!! ;)

I see that the calipers are already painted and he has the chrome wheels. And the reg sticker looks to be from another state. the absolute first thing I would do is delete the front plate (as long as a dealer didn't drill holes in the nose of the car).

said Excelsior on August 11, 2009 6:45 PM.

I thought about taking off the front plate, but right underneath it there's a forward facing camera I'd also have to lose, which adds a level of geekness.

said Scaramouch on August 11, 2009 8:40 PM.

ok then. They must have mounted it to the bracket then. No biggie, I think it takes away from the look of the car with that bulk up front.
