When I was young my uncle used to work at a local Pontiac dealer which I visited him at alot so I came to liking Pontiacs. My Uncle had a couple GP's over the years including a '90 Mclaren Turbo Grand Prix, I thought they were nice cars, but I never really took much notice to them as I only wanted a Trans Am. That was until I went to the NY Intl Autoshow and saw this
The 300 GPX concept. Finally 4-doors looked cool and kicked ass! Needless to say a much tamer version of the 300 GPX made it to production as the new GP. Few years later the Daytona GTP came out as I started driving which I also took a liking to, but could only dream about. I was learning to drive on my dad's '95 Grand Am which eventually became mine and one day my uncle comes over and wants to take me out driving in what? non other than an '00 supercharged GTP sedan. I really liked the car alot. A few years down the road I worked at Pontiac with my uncle for a short time and the first thing they had me do was take an '04 GTP compG for gas. It was from that point on I realized I was sick of my Grand Am and wanted a GP. One day during late July of '04 while I was working at the dealership my uncle took in a black '99 GPGT off a lease return. He showed me the car & asked me if I wanted it. I fell in love & bought it as a late 20th birthday present to myself. It was no GTP or 300 GPX for that matter, but the car was immaculate & the price was right. Needless to say I ended up keeping the Grand Am as a beater.
