I got a '12 silver RS LT auto today. I am out of the hot rod stuff till our kid is born. I will have time for a project car/truck later. 40 mpg is a hard thing to pass up right now.

Damn man, i thought you were about to trick out that G8 when i bought your ole converter? lol
Cruzes look good but i dont like the re-sale on them..
I have a Civic 2door ex mt, i got it for 10k with 70k miles, i get around 40mpg all day. I belive i could probally sell it right now with 90k miles for about what i paied for it...

I will take pics later. I have been driving/breaking in the motor right now. I belive in a well broken in motor lasts forever...which is how long this car is going to have to last me.

The G8 is a sweet car, but not what I need right now. I want to get a truck project down the road. I still Have a sweet spot for a RCSB.
