Time to start reporting G8 sightings, outside of seeing them on dealer lots of course.

I'll start. :D Saw a PBM, Black GT with tinted windows this past weekend at the Charlotte Auto Fair driving through the infield.

On Tuesday afternoon I saw a White Hot G8 on Gallimore Dairy Rd in Greensboro.

Actually prompted me to go over to the local Pontiac dealership yesterday afternoon to check out what they had in stock.

I saw a red G8GT with the sport and premium packages with the red seat inserts. It was on the lot in Jacksonville, NC on Wednesday. It was still there on Thursday afternoon. A few hours after that, I'm pretty sure I saw the same exact car in my garage. :)

Yay!!! Finally got my G8!!! And there was much rejoicing.

I saw a Red GT going north on 52 in the Winston-Salem area, and a Black GT on highway 150 - also in the Winston-Salem area. And, finally, I saw a Black GT in my garage in the - yep - Winston-Salem area. I have not seen either of the other folk's cars since, so I assume they don't live around here.

OK, I stink at directions and such...I took the kids out one day in early spring tooling around the Pilot Mtn. area. I got off 52 near the state park and followed some road that went between the hills. Curves and hairpins - awesome road. Trouble is, I was in our Yukon XL - not exactly a car you want on curvy mountain roads! I was VERY frustratedly waiting for my G8 to arrive!!!
Now I got the car and don't remember exactly where that road is and haven't had a chance to get back up there to find it...
I'll head up there tomorrow (Saturday) and see if I can't find that road...My son loves the car and my wife loves to get us out of the house!
Attached pic of my car (Panther Black, GT, Premium Package, Sport Package, Red Inserts on Leather).

How often are you on Gallimore Dairy Rd? I turn left (coming from High Point) on that road every day to go to work.
I've seen a gray, orange, and white GT so far.

Did you go to Flow Pontiac? I test drove the red GT they had.

LR 08' GT in K-ville. Bought it on 10\28. Looking to do a CAI, Rotot Fab Radiator Cover and Engine Covers Painted LR to match. Like to get a download. Been reading about VMS, but see others, don't know what to do. Any good tuners around anybody know about? Willing to travel to Charlotte or Raleigh if needed. No plans for car to see rain. 3 other vehicles to drive to avoid this. Hit 300 miles today!

The hot blonde wife may be driving or myself. Work at a custom sheet metal fabrication company in town. Trying to figure out some metal work original idea options daily.

By the way. Mine came off the showroom floor at Flow. 14 miles. The 08' on the lot was the one I took home for the weekend. Had some rust on the tail pipe tips as well as scuffs on the interior door panels. Exterior had some scuffs that would probably buff out. Ask for $$ off.

Things are looking up! Met up with WWG8 and his avatar (and his red G8) in Greensboro today to show off the exhaust and on the way home spotted another red and an MGM on the way home. Both were on 40W within 5 minutes of each other. most I have seen on the road in one day!

I don't know about anyone else, but I've had my G8 for 3 months and have only seen two on the road. It's kind of cool and scary at the same time to have a rare new model car.

I've seen a ton of G6s though, it's kind of funny how I notice them more now that I own a G8.

Congrats! Got my MGM from Rooster Bush in August of last year. You may see me passing thru. I live near Hildebran.

I've saw a Liquid Red at the Hospital in Rutherford College and there's another red one up near Hudson. Saw a white one at O'Charley's in Hickory (with Rooster Bush emblem) about two months ago. So, I'm not surprised that you'll be the only one in Morganton.

First Saturday of each month Char Gril on Atlantic Ave. has a cruise-in. It's basically for classic American cars but there are usually many different makes and models. I haven't been to one this year but last year I did a few and met a few other GTO-Monaro owners there.

Saw a silver G8GT and a white G8 GXP at Ocean Isle Beach this weekend. I think the silver car is owned by the guy who owns the GPS Store between Ocean Isle and Sunset Beach. I was riding my bike past it about three weeks ago and saw a detailing company cleaning it. I saw it again this weekend driving out of OIB.

The white GXP this weekend was in front of the ABC store at OIB.

I see some of you live in the Hickory area. I lived in the Hickory area for the past year (bought my PBM GT-Prem. w/ red seat inserts from Everett Chev/GM/Pont in Hickory) and only saw one or 2 other G8's in Hickory, most of which were just sedans.

However, the wife and I just moved to Lincolnton and within a month's time I've already spotted a Burnt Orange (not sure if GT or sedan car), a Silver GT owned by someone close to my wife's workplace, and another PBM just this AM. All three cars were driven by women when spotted.

Ryan in Hickory, I'd like to meet up with you sometime and get a listen to your exhaust set up. I've got a Flowmaster 40 series on mine and I'm still curious to hear the Corsa setup. I'm also getting ready to install the Vararam on mine. PM me if you're able to meet up, Ryan.

I am more thinking along the lines of a pure G8 GTG not along with some other event. Maybe something in either the Triangle or the Triad to make things more central where it wouldn't be too far for most to drive. Maybe lunch, meet and greet, maybe some modding, who's game?

I actually work out of a home office now. For several years I did work up in the park near the EPA campus. I'm down in the F/V, Holly Springs area, but I could probably arrange to meet for lunch up there one day next week. Let me know if you all decide to get together.

I actually work out of a home office now. For several years I did work up in the park near the EPA campus. I'm down in the F/V, Holly Springs area, but I could probably arrange to meet for lunch up there one day next week. Let me know if you all decide to get together.


Looks like we are aiming for Tuesday (6/9) 11:30am -12:30pm at Jersey Mike's (2945 South Miami Blvd. Suite 101, Durham, NC 27703) (RTP). This area has lots of parking! Hope to see some G8 owners!

Saw several this weekend while I was visiting my parents at Wrightsville and one when I got home this evening.

Friday:
White Hot V6 - I-40 East 1 mile north of the Cape Fear Bridge

Saturday:
White Hot V6 - Parked near Roberts Grocery at Wrightsville
Liquid Red GT - Intersection of Oleander and Independence with a lady probably in her late 60's early 70's driving.

Sunday:
Liquid Red GT - Parked in a church parking lot on Market street about 2 miles north of Ogden.
Black GT - Heading East on I-40 several miles north of Wilmington
Magnetic Grey GT - US 117 Between Mount Olive and I-40

Plus I saw Member IREG8 (saw the license plate in my mirror) at the intersection of Pearces Rd. and Hwy 96 around 6:00 this evening followed by an Impluse Blue GTO. I was the one turning in front of you, or your wife, in a big ass white Suburban starring hard. I was like "hey hon, look at that G......" she said "look a GTO" I responded "what"? lol (didn't even see the GTO until I looked in my mirror)

Well I've had my G8 for 2 weeks and I've not seen another G8 on the road until yesterday. On my way home I pass a silver GXP on 73 North(new loop around GSO) at about 3:45, then heading into Burlington I pass a red GT on Hwy 49 Maple Ave at around 5:15, and finally right before getting home last night, a blue GT passes me on Mt. Hope Church Rd. I guess they come in 3's huh?

That was me! I ad some late night work I had to do, so depending on the time I was either going to work or heading home (more than likely heading to work). I must have not been paying much attention because I'd been excited to see another G8 (much less a GXP). I work at Replacements, so if your in the area and see a blue G8 GT that's more than likely me.

I wasn't driving the G8, I was coming home from BMX practice in my GMC Safari, I was at the stop light coming off of 85/40, and yes you were going to work. I was curious if you worked at Replacements as I made that turn many times when I worked there from 1994-1996 in the IT department. I think one of the guys I worked with actually still works there, his name is Rob, can't remember the last name right off.

Only saw one G8 my entire trip to WV. But, on my way home Sunday I was heading east on I-40 and stopped at the Flying J on exit 150. Was getting pretty tired at this point so I figure why not step on the gas pretty heavy going down the on ramp and hit some pretty fast moving traffic. At this point I'm passing people however from the on ramp speed and move to center lane pretty quick. Look to my left and out of total shock I'm side by side with a Silver G8 GXP ... So at this point give him a friendly wave and followed each other passed Raleigh, he got off 40 into Garner. All in all though after that run in that definitely made my trip much more enjoyable. Other than one other instance with a Dodge Challenger R/T on the toll road in WV.

I believe I actually spotted you about a week ago. I was going South 85 and I passed a Liquid Red G8 going North 85 at around 5:30 PM Monday last week. I could see the driver and they weren't looking my way. Seems funny how a big blue G8 gets missed so often.
I'm honestly shocked if I didn't see you, I normally throw my hand up at any passing G8 however rare it is. Lately though I have been in deep thought while driving...damn job off-shoring will make you do that!

Hi, I looked them up in the company directory and his name is Ahmet and she's Hana. I've seen them around, but never really spoke to them. There's 480 that work here, so I don't interact much with them. I'm in the Information Services department and don't get around the rest of the company that much.


Okay, thanks for info and I know what you mean about not knowing fellow workers having worked at Lorillard when there was close to 2500 total at one time and doing the Reserve police with the city there were alot of officer's that I did not know, now I don't know hardly anyone up there same with Lorillard:driving:

I live off Youngs Mill Rd, so if anyone spots a SBM G8 GT on the east side of Greensboro the chances are pretty good that it's me. I also travel to Burlington quite a bit on weekends to visit a friend that has a shop North of Burlington.

Must have been a good gas mileage day filled up before leaving Wilkesboro and the Average Speed was 70.7 and the mileage was 27.3 in the Sport Mode. That I the best that it has ever done has a little over 11000 miles. Will get a good test next weekend going to Myrtle Beach for long weekend.

I talked with the guy who drives the white one while we were working an indoor marijuana grow last August. I told him about the site, he was kinda like "eh, cool". Really though, outside of work they can't drive it so to them it's just a work vehicle.

Over the past few weeks I've seen a Pacific Slate GT in my neighborhood in NE Raleigh(seen it twice over the last year) and my neighbor said there was a White Hot GT that stopped in front of my house checking out my car a few weeks back. Was cruising around town yesterday and saw a MSM GXP pull into the Best Buy parking lot off of Capital near I-540. My car is stock with the 19" Sport package (MSM color as well) but he had what looked to be chromed Camaro wheels and a shark fin antenna and it looked really nice. Made me think mine looked pretty boring in the wheel department. I'm usually not into chrome wheels but they looked great on the silver car.

Definitley not stock GXP rims. These were more of a 5-spoke design like the GT 19" but did not look aftermarket. They looked to me like chromed 2010 Camaro SS wheels.

Cool, before buying the GXP rims for my car I was considering getting the stock rims chromed. There's a company on ebay that exhanges the stock GT rims for chromed ones and I was really considered that. The G8s have plenty of chrome on them and I've felt it's either a fight it or go with it situation. Some people aren't a big fan of chrome, but chrome rims looks pretty good on these cars.

Yup, that was me. Had to run out to Sears/Panara/Total Wine yesterday. Also the Camaro rims are polished not chrome. Although they aren't as polished and bright as the stock GXP rims.

This has to be the mother of all G8 sightings at least for me. The wife and I had part of the afternoon on Tuesday and decided to go for a ride. Went through Lilington, Spring Lake, up to Sanford and back on US1. I saw not 1, or 2, or 3, but 6 G8's on that ride!

I think I have to declare Spout Spings (I think that's what it said on the GPS) as the G8 capital of NC or something. In that general area we saw 4 of the 6. We stopped there to get something to drink at the Taco Bell. Saw an MSM GT pulling out of the shopping center while we were in line, but by that time we had already seen 3 others. First was what looked like a LR Firehawk edition but I suppose it could have just had the look, not sure didn't catch a good look at it as it was going pretty fast the other way on 87/24. Also saw a PBM GT, and a LR V6. Then saw a SRM (think it was a V6) on 55 at the US1 interchange in Apex, and then a PBM GT in Holly Springs on the way home at the Harris Teeter.

By far my largest random G8 sighting ever. I have to think that at least 1 or 2 of them are members here.
