: Georgia G8 sightings
JTSnooks 05-24-2008, 06:47 PM We've got one of these for GTOs on the other board, helps find out who's who and is a good way to stay connected. Since I've seen 4 G8s out on the road in the past 4 days, I figured I'd post up and see if it's anyone here.
Wednesday: Magnetic Gray driving north on I-75 around 3pm
Thursday: Panther Black driving west on 120 turning onto Jones Bridge around 5:45. Gave him a nice rev, he looked at me like I was crazy :gr_jest:
Friday: Liquid Red heading east on 141 around 7:20.
Today (Saturday): Ignition Orange gave me a couple honks and waved, don't remember where, it's been a long day.
All of them looked like they were GTs with the 19" wheels, and all looked freaking sexy. I'm so jealous of the fender flares on those things.
So if any of those people were you, let me know! I was in the Impulse Blue GTO, except the first one where I was in a lipstick red Mustang rental :barf:

LOL That was me! :)
JTSnooks 05-25-2008, 11:32 AM LOL That was me! :)
Cool! The car looked awesome and so clean. I haven't seen a dirty G8 yet, and my poor GTO hasn't been washed in weeks. Do you have the 19s?
JTSnooks 05-26-2008, 02:16 PM Saw another one today around 1:30 or so. Panther Black GT w/ 19" wheels in the Home Depot parking lot off of Hwy 93 (Woodstock Rd.).
JTSnooks 05-27-2008, 03:14 PM Saw an Ignition Orange on Lawrenceville-Suwanee road around 12:15 this afternoon in front of Taco Bell.
Smtkd 05-27-2008, 03:55 PM Dude! Your seeing alot more than I have. I've only seem mine and the other 2 at the dealership still unsold! :D
JTSnooks 05-28-2008, 11:04 AM Dude! Your seeing alot more than I have. I've only seem mine and the other 2 at the dealership still unsold! :D
What dealership? There are at least two at the dealer near me, both V6s. One white (looks awesome in white) and one red. I think they have one or two more as well, not sure if they have any GTs.
Smtkd 05-28-2008, 11:46 AM Cronic on the Southside of Atlanta!
Dan1G8 05-28-2008, 02:03 PM If I'm not mistaken Colonial BPG on Hwy 316 still has the 3 they started with. Black one is a #888 they had a premium on. I know it has been there about 2 months.
justoneofmyhoes 05-29-2008, 07:19 PM Saw an Ignition Orange on Lawrenceville-Suwanee road around 12:15 this afternoon in front of Taco Bell.
Wait...Lawrenceville - Suwanee is where I go to spot Goats, lol.
Smtkd 05-29-2008, 09:32 PM Any of you go the the Falcon's trainning camp?
justoneofmyhoes 05-30-2008, 12:11 AM There are two GT's and one V6 at Hayes (Formally Tabor) Motors in Toccoa. I drooled on the white GT last Sunday and made up my mind, once the final payment is mailed on the GTO I'm buying a white G8 GT. I had narrowed it down to a G37 Coupe, G8 GT, or a 1 series BMW. The G8 wins out after seeing one up close.
JTSnooks 06-05-2008, 09:26 PM Hey Ignited, I passed you going the other way on L-ville Suwanee tonight around 6:20 or so, I guess you were on your way home. I gave you a pretty big rev, don't know if you noticed or not, but that was me.
Torqued 06-05-2008, 09:53 PM I think that's OVERULD. Most of my driving is backnforth on 285 from 400 to 20. Still haven't seen another G8 yet.
bluestang50 06-06-2008, 07:27 AM JTSnooks you must be driving around all over metro atlanta all day. I live probably 5 minutes from that taco bell on lawrenceville suwanee. I actually am right next to discovermills. I work at Capital Buick Pontiac GMC in smyrna on cobb parkway next to windy hill road. We currently have a black and a white G8 GTs and then 2 reds and a black V6 G8s. I am chopping at the bit right now to buy that white G8 GT.

Nope, but I do drive about 50 miles per day round trip to/from work.
JTSnooks 06-11-2008, 12:45 PM Hey OVERULD, I saw you today around 12:45, you went to Chic-Fil-A. Not sure if you saw me or not, but you had a nice broadside shot as I was waiting to pull out from Taco Bell. I was also two cars behind you at the left turn to chic-fil-a, but I pulled a U-ey instead of turning left.
wade2yk 06-19-2008, 03:54 AM hey I live in pooler, Ga wondering if anyone around that area. I havent been able to drive mine yet since i've been in iraq but i will be driving it on sat for the first time
JTSnooks 06-19-2008, 09:16 AM Welcome home! I have no idea where Pooler is, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're the only guy in town with one.
xcalibersgrl 06-19-2008, 10:12 AM It's close to Savannah...We might actuall move there.
(We have an '04 GTO now and we are going to be getting a '09 G8.

Sounds like what I did. I got back from Iraq in April, went home on leave for the entire month of May. First dealership I walked into had almost the exact GT I wanted, but with 18". I drove home with it that same day. You're going to love it. I'm down here at Ft. Stewart, if I see you on the road I'll honk. There's a WH and an MGM on base here, mine is the only PBM.
JTSnooks 07-02-2008, 07:45 PM Saw a Panther Black G8 heading north on I75 just a few miles south of Tennessee.
the big d 07-03-2008, 09:45 PM saw 4 at my local dealer
JTSnooks 07-05-2008, 01:41 PM saw 4 at my local dealer
I don't think the dealer's going to post up saying it was him...
bluestang50 07-06-2008, 07:11 PM JT were you going up 85n into SC at around 3:50 today. I also saw a red g8 about 5 miles further down headed up 85n.
JTSnooks 07-07-2008, 04:07 PM Nope, wasn't me. Furthest northeast I got was Northpoint Mall in Alpharetta :)
JTSnooks 07-09-2008, 12:47 PM Saw an MGM GT in the Monterrey/Subway parking lot off of Hwy 20.
JTSnooks 07-11-2008, 09:37 AM Revved at a Panther Black on my way to work this morning, don't remember exactly where I saw it.
BJ, I also revved as I drove past your work around 9:30 after dropping something off at Suwanee Machine.
Dan1G8 07-18-2008, 06:49 AM Finally saw another one on the road this morning. A White Hot GT (with Colonial BPG drive out tag) on I-85 s/b. Exited at Pleasantdale. Man that White Hot looks good !
xcalibersgrl 07-18-2008, 07:25 AM I saw a MGM in Lawrenceville around 7:20 this morning. Dan I think I may have spoted you last week around Hamilton Mill.
Dan1G8 07-18-2008, 08:08 AM Yes, it could have been me. There is a someone who works at the CVS on the corner of Jim Moore & 324 who has a MGM GT with plate that reads "JASONS".
Were you on Ga 400 around Dawsonville on the 4th of July ?
xcalibersgrl 07-18-2008, 08:11 AM No that would probably be a guy we refer to as "stickers" he is on the GTO board. Our GTO is a garage queen. It only gets driven about once a month. I have not yet gotten my G8 we have decided on '09 PSM and we are waiting to hear final word on pricing for the GXP and colors. We live in Braselton and I work in L'ville so I am in Hamilton Mill all the time.
Dan1G8 07-18-2008, 08:31 AM I like the PSM, I saw one over at John Bailey BPG in Buford, kinda reminds me of the Barbados blue on the GTO's.
xcalibersgrl 07-18-2008, 10:32 AM I like the PSM, I saw one over at John Bailey BPG in Buford, kinda reminds me of the Barbados blue on the GTO's.
My fiance went and looked at it before they even had it outside. It was up on the rack getting preped. I took a look at it that night but we were waiting on the 2 new blues and the GXP for this year.
JTSnooks 08-27-2008, 09:22 AM I saw a Stryker Blue G8 GT turning west onto 317 off of 85 this morning around 8. Sexy color.
JTSnooks 08-28-2008, 06:40 PM I see a black G8 GT going west on 120 almost every morning, woman driving. I rev at her but she's never even looked over at me.
Saw another black GT turning right onto hwy 9 at Academy this evening around 7pm.
Torgo 09-11-2008, 08:32 PM White Hot headed east on Old Milton in Alpharetta a little after 5 today. Anyone?
Dan1G8 09-18-2008, 09:22 AM Saw a White Hot yesterday headed west bound on 316 around 5:30pm. Not sure if it was a GT or base.
JTSnooks 09-19-2008, 09:13 AM I see a Panther black GT every morning on my way to work heading west on 120. Attractive lady driving it.
Rican219 09-19-2008, 05:01 PM Saw a White Hot yesterday headed west bound on 316 around 5:30pm. Not sure if it was a GT or base.
That would be my buddy eric he has a white one. I live by there too
Dan1G8 09-22-2008, 08:46 AM Yeah, I see Eric every now and then going southbound on I-85 in the a.m.
JTSnooks 09-22-2008, 12:31 PM I saw a White Hot GT down near Turner Field for the Braves game on Friday night.
Dan1G8 09-24-2008, 07:28 AM Saw a IOM GT yesterday on I-75 s/b around Cumberland Pkwy.
Liquid09 09-29-2008, 05:44 PM I just bought a 09 Liquid red GT this past weekend from Hilton Head automotive. I'm in a small town called Rincon (just north of Savannah).
athena9181 09-29-2008, 07:03 PM I have had my G8 for less than a month and I am purely amazed by it. I have been obssesing since last year when they released the drawing of the G8. I'm in Hinesville GA and I have only seen 3 G8 including mine in town. There is a blue GT I beieve in Savannah. I would only go there to test drive not drive, they treat you very bad.

Yeah Backus is hit or miss with there service. That's the main reason why I went to Hilton Head automotive group. They were very knowledgeable and didn't give me a bunch of BS.
JTSnooks 09-30-2008, 02:01 PM Saw a Panther Black GT heading east on Hwy 20 going over 985 last night around 6:30 or so.
Liquid09 10-04-2008, 07:00 AM I'm not sure what colors were offered in 08 but it kinda looked like a reddish brown GT being driven by a 20 something (hot) chick. She was going to the BoA ATM in Rincon of all places.

JTSnooks 10-09-2008, 08:52 PM LOL I needed a 4 car for the family plus I am going to build an all out drag car out of my 90 fox.
Well that explains it then!

Rican219 10-09-2008, 08:57 PM Well that explains it then!
Hey man, I might be going up to the mountains on Saturday morning, want to tag along?
Crap I won't be able to because I'm going to Brett's Wife's Funeral off of ImportAtlanta and after that I have to install 2 servers for a customer that afternoon! I really want to!!
MtbDoc 10-13-2008, 07:36 PM Saturday we were driving to ATL from BHM for the GT football game...and came up alongside another MGM G8, driven by a female who stuck here hand out and waved. I'm thinking it was around the Douglasville exit heading east on I-20.
the big d 10-13-2008, 07:45 PM i saw 2 silver ones
2 red ones
1 black one and a gray one at masterpontiac in augusta ga

Your GTO looks amazing...
Dan1G8 12-11-2008, 08:06 AM Yesterday saw a MGM GT along with another car in the right emergency lane on 285N east bound between 400 and Chamblee Dunwoody, may have been a fender bender. Anyone here ?
Also, I've been seeing new V6's everywhere lately. Seems the current offer of $24K is working.
BoostedOne 12-13-2008, 02:19 PM I don't think the dealer's going to post up saying it was him...
All those are mine!
I work at Colonial as a tech and I just wanted to let you guys know that we just got 2 White Hot 2009 G8 GT's in yesterday and slightly hotter that the 08's for some reason... I didnt think they made an changes to the engine or trans or rear but they seem quicker to me. Im just waiting for the GXP's
Rican219 - I remember you, I checked the trans fluid level on yours the time you came in for an oil change.
Just wanted to say hi and let you guys know there's a Holden enthusiast at your local dealer, if you need anything just PM me.
I have a few GTO owners that come see me everytime they need service.
Dan1G8 12-15-2008, 06:40 AM Did they ever sell the MGM 888 with the :quoties: 3K market adjustment?
BoostedOne 12-15-2008, 07:20 AM Yea they did. And for the record, that was ridiculous. But it got sold so I guess it was ok for someone.
Dan1G8 12-15-2008, 08:10 AM Yea they did. And for the record, that was ridiculous. But it got sold so I guess it was ok for someone.
Thats what I thought also.
I've used Colonial a couple of times for service on my GP and was totally satisfied with it. I bought my G8 from Horton in Monroe because they were the only dealer within 15-20 miles that had a base PBM GT at the time. I have been happy with their service also, but it would be more convienent to use Colonial or John Bailey.
BoostedOne 12-15-2008, 08:41 AM I'm always glad to have customers ask for me, I'm Tim if u ever decide to come in.
Rican219 12-15-2008, 09:07 AM All those are mine!

LOL yeah bro!! You pick one up yet?!
Yeah Tim is a good guy so ask for him if you gotta go there.

The minute someone turns in a white GXP I will have one, I've done the new car thing before and it hurts too much.
Thanks for that!
Torqued 01-05-2009, 02:15 PM Anyone with a MGM GT in the Ashford Dunwoody & 285 area?
JTSnooks 01-16-2009, 08:52 PM Saw two G8 GTs today. One was the lighter gray on Old Atlanta Road around 7:30 this morning. Gave them a pretty big rev, was a little louder than I intended so sorry if I caught you off guard.
Also saw a Panther Black heading west on McGinnis Ferry around the same time.

JTSnooks 01-24-2009, 02:44 PM Hey, if you're in Lawrenceville, then what is she doing driving on Old Atlanta in Cumming early in the morning?
JTSnooks 01-24-2009, 02:45 PM Oh yeah, saw a red G8 GT on Hwy 9 just south of Windward earlier this afternoon.
Oh yeah, saw a red G8 GT on Hwy 9 just south of Windward earlier this afternoon.
yeah that was probably me ... did it have HIDs?... was down there to meet a buyer halfway to sell my Civic.
Kinda sad to sell my fully built civic though... it made 380HP @ 11lbs of boost... its down in FL now.
Rican219 01-25-2009, 09:36 PM Hey, if you're in Lawrenceville, then what is she doing driving on Old Atlanta in Cumming early in the morning?

Oh cool. Well if you see a really loud blue GTO, give me a wave.
Your Civic may have been faster than your G8, but it was still wrong-wheel drive. And a Civic.
She works off of Mcginnis and 141.
Ah, so she was coming from your direction?

JTSnooks 01-29-2009, 03:41 PM Revved as I passed a black GT on Windemere last night. He pulled a U-turn, it was on a straight section and I wanted a race!
SuperPimp 02-07-2009, 03:47 PM wade2yk Im in Hinesville and have fun on your first drive. I got mine when I got back and have been loving it ever since
holyrollerz 02-09-2009, 08:08 AM i live in Marietta. Only seen two others on the highway. BTW, there's a big meet on the first Thursday of every month at the Varsity downtown. You can usually meet a few G8 owners down there. Last month, there were 5 G8s there.
JTSnooks 02-09-2009, 10:25 AM Saw a white G8 in the mountains of North Georgia this weekend, there were 3 of us GTOs tearing up the roads up there. Or maybe I should say the roads were tearing us up, there was gravel everywhere :(
JTSnooks 02-16-2009, 03:24 PM Saw Ignited GT twice this week. Once in the parking lot of Mi Casa (actually last week), and this afternoon driving on 317 over 85.
Dan1G8 02-17-2009, 09:32 AM Saw Ignited GT twice this week. Once in the parking lot of Mi Casa (actually last week), and this afternoon driving on 317 over 85.
The one on 317 was probably OVERULD, he lives and works in Suwanee if not mistaken.

Good call, that's what I meant. Forgot his username.
bluestang50 02-20-2009, 09:20 PM Black panther g8 gt on 85 north and got off at hamilton mill around 6pm. I was in the black CTS.
DodgeToG8 02-20-2009, 09:54 PM I saw a yellow GTO today around 11:15 at McDonalds on Windward Parkway at the drivethrough. Saw a Red GTO yesterday getting onto 400south around 10am.

JTSnooks 02-26-2009, 08:12 PM Revved at a white G8 heading east on Hwy 20 this evening around 6:45 or so.
adriand 02-27-2009, 07:04 AM Revved at a white G8 heading east on Hwy 20 this evening around 6:45 or so.
Might have been me. Where at on 20?
JTSnooks 02-27-2009, 12:42 PM Might have been me. Where at on 20?
If I remember right it was a little east of the Chattahoochie. Somewhere between Windermere and Peachtree Industrial.
You didn't hear me? Guess I need to give it a heartier prod of the throttle, open the pipes a little more.
adriand 02-27-2009, 01:15 PM Oh that wasn't me then. I was on 20 but on the other side of Pechtree Industrial Boulevard.
JTSnooks 03-03-2009, 07:00 PM Oh that wasn't me then. I was on 20 but on the other side of Pechtree Industrial Boulevard.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure they didn't have black wheels anyway. Yours, by the way, look sweet! CSL replicas?
adriand 03-04-2009, 07:02 AM Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure they didn't have black wheels anyway. Yours, by the way, look sweet! CSL replicas?
Thanks! The wheels are Breyton GTS, 20".
JTSnooks 03-09-2009, 09:15 PM Saw a bunch of G8s this weekend. Saw a red one and a grey one heading south on 400 coming back from the outlet mall area on Sunday around 11-noon.

JTSnooks 03-24-2009, 12:45 PM Saw a white one on Old Atlanta last night.
Dan1G8 03-26-2009, 06:12 AM Spotted what may have been a Silver GXP or GT with chrome wheels on I-85 heading north around Pleasantdale Rd.
barbeau82 03-26-2009, 01:12 PM Know of two different Orange GT's in Savannah/Richmond Hill area and a black and red on Ft. Stewart.
Otherwise, Savannah is pretty scarce on GTO/G8's in my experience
