Ode to the G!

I'm going to get all cheezy on your asses now! :p
I just got back from a great drive tonite. I was as a friends b-day party and bored out of my mind so I decided to go home. It's amazing what a drive home in your baby can do for your mood. :D
Since I have just about all the N.A. bolt-ons on my G it's about as far as it can go before the next step. With a dyno proven (http://www.g20.net/g20/images/dyno_jasons04.jpg) 15% increase in wheel horse power it can be called peppy. ** I think I'm losing some power because of my poor choice of resonator, but that's a different topic **
The transformation over the last two years has done nothing but bring a smile to my face every time I drive her. From hot lapping at Shannonville race track to trying to shave that extra 0.5 seconds off my auto-x time to reach that arbitrary goal I set for myself. This underrated car never fails to make me grin.
Doing my own mods has brought me even more satisfaction. I've learned more in the last two years than I ever thought I'd know about cars.
Even at this point I know I want more. I know this overlooked little platform is capable of much, much more. From this point on it can only get better. My grin will only get bigger. :D

hehehe, sounds like you had hell of a nite. :D
yeh, this little trickery does bring a grin to my face here and there. hehehe. :p but as ironic as this may sound to many, its the smooth shifting AT that brings the grin. why? i can down shift and get a very cool motor/exhaust tone with a silky smooth downshift each time. :D for a dressedup car, tone and image is very important.

Seriously, Jason, love your car.

One or two a month? wow, that's a waste of a great car Warren.
My job offers transportation free of charge to and from the plant (it's 30 minutes far from the city) and ever since I bought the Primera, I have cancel my option to use that transportation, just to have the pleasure of drive my P11. And have no regrets about it!!!!!!!:)
