OK, with MANY months of research; tons on this website, (decided on 2005 black GranSport)....then.... searching for that "perfect" deal (7000 mile, perfect car from California with every option I desired)....I paid for this car (sight unseen except pictures and a salesman's description- whose life I threatened should he stear me wrong, 2 months ago...(was at San Deigo MF for an auto door lock issue)...had the car shipped in a covered car carrier...dilivery was delayed due to shipping logistical effeciencies.....
I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TODAY!!!!

I put at leats 75 miles on it...getting used to the paddle shift, etc (was a bit stressed as many people in Houston are evacuating because of a looming hurricane (Ike). I LOVE THIS CAR.


Everything seems to work fine. The car is flawless. The clutch actually works!


At this point, I am a happy camper. I've had BMW's (loved the M Roadster-great value), Porsches, Mercedes (even a 1974 SD455 Trans Am) and ya know what, this car rocks.


Just had to "vent"...hopefully I won't be frusturated too quickly as I have an "issue" or two.....

Thanks guys...you have no idea how influencial you were to my decision.

Congratulations from another black GranSport owner

We need pictures!

Great News... Enjoy the GS, they're a phenomenal car!

 

[Niteroi]

I almost bought that GS (at least I think it's the same car) before I got mine. The funny thing is that I ended up buying a car in Texas! Just like you, it was at the San Antonio MF and I bought it without seeing it in person.

Congrats!!

You've got the fastest color. Ask BigFoot why!

[Spyderluv]

Congrats on your purchase

You sound psyched!!! Enjoy it.

Hello,

Yes, a bit psyched...day one.

Yes, the hotel is the Burg al Arab UAE...awesome place; I highly recommend it.


The only thing I didn't anticipate was....no owners manual. I'm sending an email tonight to the seller in California but if they cannot come up with one; do you guys know where one can be aquired?

I'll get some pictures on soon.

I think there is a user here who is from Denver or CS....we have a ski place in Salida (Monarch)...maybe we can get together..

Thanks, Eddie
