Marylander Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yea! Changed the oil, washed, revived and americana-ized her, put on some VRT and we were back on the road this weekend. I'd forgotten how effortless all that V8 torque can be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Looks good. I agree with you on the torque thing you have to love GM LS motors for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on the torque thing you have to love GM LS motors for that. the really funny thing was the first few times I got in the car this weekend I'd put the key in, turn it to acc and then pause... I'm getting too used the the Jetta diesel where you have to wait 2-3 sec for the glow plug light to go off before starting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Looks real good Rich. The farthest mine's been is the driveway! Soon, very soon. Thanks Rich. My car is officially a "5 foot" car now... going over it this weekend I was practically in tears adding up all the little rock chips and stupid minor little things that only the car's "parent" really sees.

My car is officially a "5 foot" car now... going over it this weekend I was practically in tears adding up all the little rock chips and stupid minor little things that only the car's "parent" really sees. The bumper on my G8 is the same way. It maybe a two foot thing, but there are quite a few chips. I am upset about it but I have to drive it everyday and there is no way to avoid the chips.

I'm getting too used the the Jetta diesel where you have to wait 2-3 sec for the glow plug light to go off before starting it. I've driven diesel trucks my entire life and I do that in all vehicles I get into I took the mustang out a couple of weeks ago when we had some nice weather. It was so fun to drive, you forget how fast and fun to drive they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuff Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hey Rich it looks great! Can't wait to see it in person in April in Pa. I got my G8 out last week and had a smile on my face all the way to work and home. We took it to Toledo to visit with my daughter and son-in-law on Saturday and it's great when my wife wants me to drive it, even if it is for the heated seats. I love the torque and sound. I forgot what my right foot was for until I got back into the G8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 So this is what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life?!? Not too much in the summer, but it is a habit I still put the key in turn and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
