The end of an era

I have owned Grand Prix's since 1994. At one point my wife, son and I all had them. We had a total of 7 throughout the 23 years. Yesterday I traded in my 2008, our last. It's sad they aren't made anymore, they were such fun cars!

The one I traded had almost 210K on it.

I had a red '98 GT, when they were calling them Wide Track Gran Prix. That one had a leather interior and I loved it. The one we just traded also had leather, plus heated seats, sunroof, and Monsoon sound system which I've missed ever since.

So what are you driving now? Hopefully something as fun (and faster) than the Grand Prix. I've now got two which should keep me moving for many years. But I still wonder what I would get today...surely a rear-wheel drive V8.

I got a '17 Hyundai Sonata Sport. Nothing like a Grand Prix, yet a very, very nice car. Good pep for a 4 banger too. It's a commuter car for me, I need front wheel drive for winter snow, etc.
