Spotted a MGM GXP yesterday at Slaughter and Manchaca, It was rather dirty though. So that makes a total of about 5 GXP's in this area that I have seen. I will say Austin seems to be a popular place for G8's.

All within a week, I have seen a red, a silver, and a black GT in my area... TW45/130 and Kelly Lane. A black GT is now starting to visit the new 24hr Fitness by the Target/Home Depot.

Saw a black G8 on 685 @ Rowe Ln. Way too many in the area...thought I was spechul... guess I will have to go put a blower on it to be a little different :)

I spotted a PBM with blacked out molding and grille at Short Stop, on the corner of Manchaca and Brodie. Also was debugged including the pontiac symbol. I see this one all the time.
That would be me! :) But I think you mean the Short Stop at Manchaca and William Cannon since Manchaca and Brodie don't intersect. I live out past Slaughter on Frate Barker Lane. Do you guys wave at other G8 owners when you see them? Something I do, but I came from the Vette crowd and it was something that was always talked about. Seems like I always catch people off guard when they see the wave.

well, i dont have any extras right now, such
as cai, or headers, so i figured this would
give me a little tranny tuning ability, and be
able to turn dod off, until i get a few more
things. we need to get 2gether sometime, i
wanna check out your ride, and ask a few
questions...

That's the beauty of the tuning that my buddy does. You pay him once and can come back as often as you want to make changes as your car progresses. He uses HP Tuners so TCM tune and turning DOD off is a snap. Just something to think about for the future.
