Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I’m not sure what possessed me to check in here but I see everyone is doing well! I know it’s been sometime since I’ve posted but I’m doing well. The wife, kids and I just recently moved to Texas. Starting a new chapter in our lives. We left the hurricanes of NC behind us to deal with tornadoes! Yay!

For car related information, We still have our Acura RDX. We really don’t drive it that much. It’s sitting at 110k miles and it’s a 2009! It’s having a starting issue recently that’s stumping mechanics so out of caution I don’t drive it a lot just because I’m new to the area and don’t want to get stuck. I drive a 2017 accord touring ( that car is fun to drive)! Just the right amount of sporty looks, with all the comfort inside and a very powerful v6. My old civic we gave to my wife’s niece. My wife’s RSX was totaled in a car accident almost two years ago. A guy was cut off, swerved into the next lane from t boning a car that cut across the road, my wife’s lane slowed down and he plowed right into the back of her. As bad as the car looked the frame wasn’t bent, both rear quarters didn’t even buckle or dent. What did the car in was he hit the car dead center in the rear and crushed the rear hatch deck lid in, apparently those cost almost 3000$. So we said goodbye to that and got a fully loaded Honda Pilot with the tv in the back for the kids. I do miss my old grand am more so for the looks of the car. I did manage to track it down to about where it was last located. It finally died or given up on in Mississippi back in 2014. I saw it was issued a junk title. Just prior the car had a new oil pump put in and a bunch of motor work which I bet lead to its demise. The town that it was in I can almost guess which junk yard it ended up at. My g6 I tracked down to Kalamazoo, Michigan. Not sure the fate of that car exactly. It was last registered in 2019 and was only driven 600 miles between 2018&2019 and never registered since then. Not sure it it died, was parked some place or what. I’ve searched the vin for pictures seeing it was up for sale nothing. It kind of just faded away.

Other then that we are surviving and trying to be as safe as we can!
