Pictures of my car!

ktgdgt04 · 06-09-2005, 05:39 PM

I finally got some pictures of my car taken today!! Here they are!! The 2 close ups on the front end are when I ran my car into a tree 1 month after I got it. I lost control and hit it

. Well a friend knew a friend who painted it for me and now the paint is all chipping and peeling off!!! He also painted it sunburst orange instead of fusion orange and YES you can tell somewhat of a difference in the sun. So now i have to pay a lot more to get the whole bumper redone. Well neg and positive comments are accepted but please dont hurt my feelings!!! Ive worked hard in the 9 months Ive had it to get it to this, its not much but its mine! I also have a system, not to much to brag about just a couple JL 12" and a JL amp, and also my alpine head unit that cost more than almost the entire system!!

Enjoy! Oh yea by the way that sexy chick thats me!! HA HA HA!

Well it is me but yea.

Graxall · 06-09-2005, 06:59 PM

Ide never sit on my car

hehe jp but its a nice car i love the color, never see none with interior like that in a while lookin good...

The painted interior looks great............BUT, you should repaint it with fusion orange. First of all it'll match and second it's metallic. The paint you used looks a little pumpkin-y. Not downing the work at all though, it looks great, smooth, and I like the way you only painted part of the radio bezel instead of the whole piece. That's a nice touch.

The interior isnt painted, its vinyl. Me and my boyfriend did it it took some time and that is the closest color to that fusion orange that isnt metallic. I didnt want a sparkling interior. I wanted to vinyl so when I sell this car it still has some value (I can take it off)and if I ever want to change it I can! Im not to fat so I can sit on my hood and it still comes back to normal!

Graxall · 06-10-2005, 07:05 AM

I like the "no motor vehicles" sign in the background....

Every time I see someone my age with a 2004 or something, I start wondering how the fock they can afford a new car.... unless they didn't buy it.

Yea I thought that was funny to! Well I worked for my car, in a stinkin factory living at home bring home 400 a week why not buy a car that costs me 430 a month right?? WRONG! I made 1 payment on it, lost my job and now my grandpa is my "suga daddy"

! Then I moved out on my own, and with rent I cant afford it but my grandpa pays for it for me I just pay for all the modifications done to it. I also have to pay for the insurance, eek!! Im on an sr-22 for to many speeding violations and its pretty ugly! Im a little spoiled, but he doesnt mine he works at GM making more money than he knows what to do with and he pays for my car, and my 2 other sisters that are driving to. But this fall im going to school for 3 months and after that I will finally be able to take my car payment back on.

DrFabulous · 06-10-2005, 09:19 AM

Jeez. I bought mine used, paid off the loan in about 6 months, and I have to work 60 hrs a week during the summer and 40 during school just to be able to afford to keep mine running.

I wish I could take off a year of school, make enough money to actually put something on my car. Anyways, it's a nice car, take advantage of it!

Metallic paint isn't that 'sparkly'. And don't worry about the vinyl hurting the value of the car. The value was lost when the factory put the Pontiac badge on it.

I totally agree with that comment!! Ive had quite a lot of stupid problems with this car, I also had a 04 cavalier that I had problems with. I think its just GM made cars. Not doggin on them (alot of my family works at the one where I live) but jeez they cant make a good car!! I read a news thing that pontiac and chevy are one of the lowest ranked models due to all of the warranty recalls and warrant work or something like that.

Get....the.....phuck....off....your hood. Its not a 69 chevelle.
Ya know how alot of people scratch their cars? They lean or sit on them. You have rivets in your jeans and pants (most) and when you go to get off you scratch your car. In your case you took a big chance of denting and scratching. I do not allow people to lean against my car.

equinox520 · 06-11-2005, 09:58 AM

nice looking car.....the only way I was able to get my new grand am was to buy a crashed one....hahaha.....it is much cheaper, but it does take quite a bit of work....

crazypontiac03 · 06-11-2005, 10:11 AM

Looks Good.

Im not to worried about scratches, its a car. It doesnt have a ding or dent in it yet but im sure the time will come when it will. No car is going to stay perfect unless its parked in a garage! I guess if I was worried about it getting a scratch I wouldnt even drive it. I lean against it ALOT and so far so good. Im sure if I had a lot of money into it then yea I would be more anal about what I do with it. But im not worried, Ill only have it for about 4-5 more years unless it gets smashed up and totaled. Or if it even lasts that long and by the looks of the way things are going with it, it wont!

Maybe just those of us that pay for our GAGT's on our own actually appreciate what we have, enough to take care of it and protect it from damage.
