I DD my G8 - roughing it I know.
I quit back in 07 before I blew up my 05 that I was paying $660/mo and counted on to get me to work everyday. Had I not found the 02 for a steal, I would have quit long ago.
And there are days I wish I had never found the 02.
You should take a ride in Tims pro charged G8. By far my favorite car, nothing like rolling up to mustangs and camaros and smoking them with a 4 door.
