can you believe it's been 10 years already?

[Jeremy]

I just got my 10th domain renewal notice for GrandAmGT.com! Hard to believe this site has been around in one form or another for 10 years. I still remember back to the old AOL days, even the bravenet forum we had going for a bit.

What amazes me the most is the activity/questions/new members we still get every day for a car that hasn't rolled off the assembly line for about 5 years now. That shows you that people are still passionate about their cars and still have in interest in the community we've built here.


I know of at least 1 marriage (and soon to be baby) that GAGT.com was apart of making (the marriage..not the baby). I've met some truly amazing people in the years, I've built some great friendships, had plenty of good times, a few bad times, but all of it has been a great trip.

In the past 10 years, I've had the following life experiences:
- 1 got married to an amazing woman
- had 2 beautiful children
- built a house
- been at the same job for 10 years
- lost some people that were very special in my life
- more than I can probably remember.


Anyone else here have some thoughts/memories/experiences/weddings/kids/etc. happen while being a part of the community?

I joined on the suggestion of a friend (NDPrunner22) that was on here during my senior year of high school, I think. I applied, go into, and graduated from college, and started a "real" job from that point onward. Crazy stuff...

Edit: hm, guess it was the last semester of my JUNIOR year that i joined-- just looked at my join date

[DrFabulous]

I joined shortly after buying my first GA... back in senior year of HS

Been on this site, on and off, for a while. I've honestly met some cool people from here.

I still talk to him on facebook once in a while, sounds like he's doing pretty good.

Im alive!!!!!

[westerndragon]

grats on all the good man i joined this forum after spending time at that other less nice ga forum and ive never looked back this place is so much fun and so informative i will be here long after my ga becomes a cube of scrap thanks for building such an awesome place

[Ajaxus]

Oh the list..

Well, by the join date I was finishing up my first semester in my first college..been to 3 total by now, scraped only one degree out of the whole mess,

Gotten 2 tattoos in that time, traveled the world, experienced unemployment, worked multiple jobs..blah blah blah

Became a Mason and really improved my life, that's the biggy for me, and probably the only reason I'm not flaming GTLUVA anymore for her monetary/car decisions..because I'm actually trying to be somewhat of a decent person,

Oh, and I made thousands and thousands of useless posts, I've learned how to piss Bob off all over again, I've contributed maybe <1% of my posts to good useful info on here (car detailing)..and I've gotten a few members banned after MASSIVE flamewars..and yet, I'm still here.

I've also probably racked up more warning points and bans than any members present or past..and they keep letting me come back, for some strange reason,

I really hate to burst your bubble....but you don't do anything to me. If I choose to respond to you I do it because I need to entertain myself and have the time. And my responses are generally based around the notion I think you are a delusional fruitcake who talks out of his ass. "AJ at GrandAmGT.com" hardly pops into my mind at all at any other point in my life outside this forum.

Sooo what you're saying is that..on this forum I do "pop into [your] mind"?

Bob, I made that comment as a complete joke, nothing about it was serious..yet look at the wonderful response you graced us with.

Sik and Terese was a ruse...

Actively joined the site (I Googled Grand Am forums.. ) a year after buying the GA, which I bought a couple of weeks before going on my 1st deployment to Iraq in '05. W/in the 1st week of posting, I got my 1st warning pts for PWing a F/S thread... . I've seen alot of bad a$$ GA's and got alot of help and advice on fixing up the GA. I've PW'd more than I can remember, met alot of cool folks (most of them named Matt.. ), a few a$$hats, some that are questionable concerning their manhood or gheyness, one really ghey Asian guy and one that knows everything about oil and poutine, and unfortunately...some straight dumba$$es... . Flirted w/ alot of the women on here and now I'm a "stalker" because of it.. and learned about wet laptops

It's stilla great site, I still love to PW and ya'll are great folks

not Sik an Terese...Amber & Tony. I remember at the first GAP that the hotel wouldn't let Amber check in cuz she was under 18 or something like that.

puhleeze, I was at least 18..maybe 19 depending on what weekend in July it was.

[lone_wolf025]

I joined soon after I got my GA and I've been lurking ever since. Met a number of good people as well as some rather interesting characters. Learned a lot and forgot even more. Good times through all of it though. Looking forward to the future.

My fav experiences of GAGT were the GAPS, and the police escorted convoys. "BRAKE!"

Don't forget Batman...

I've been here pretty much since the beggining, I didn't join until I got the GAGT. I met lots of people and had alot of good times.

I believe I was the first to have the whole SC/T kit on. I still remember hearing the winning numbers (for the SC/T kit) as I looked down at my raffle ticket and quite honestly couldn't believe my ears. even though I no longer own the GA I still check the board about everyday. Jeremy and Ryan put togethor a great community for people to learn about thier cars and well just waste alot of time chatting etc.
