I sold it for a 2007 Chevrolet HHR, check it out here.
Profesional-style pictures are now up on the second page.

Nice ride Rick. Why wasn't I included in the crew? Not cool enough? No Euros allowed? Are you racist?

ooo yea. My 60 ft. was 2.08. Tried launching a little harder but I just got wheel hop. Perhaps less than 31 psi in the rear tires next time? And you sir, 14.19, very nice. I was hoping to see a 13.99999. I think You could do it. Next time we go (If you dont have your tune by then), were gettin a bag of ice, and I'm going to help you push the car down the staging lane. Thats what I did in the TA to get a 13.0. haha

That is a beautiful Sky you have there!! White is such a great color. Man, I wanted to get one of those (if I had the money, lol), and I love the look of the Sky such much more than the Solstice. I bet that sucker is quick, too!! Sounds like you've got some mean plans for it for the future, so good luck with those! Again, awesome ride! Later!! - Greg
