Title: How often does this happen?
Post by: killinprixs on March 13, 2009, 02:11:35 PM
So this red TGP has been lurkin around town lately with a nice elderly lady behind the wheel.  The car is actually her daughters who bought it brand new in 1990.  Luckily i had my camera with me AND my TGP , it was just cool to have 2 TGPS red and black in the same vicinity let alone driving down the road together. sorry my camera and my photography skills suck.

The car has only 40k and is in immaculate condition.  She said it does have a stalling problem and i did explain a few things about the car to her as about why it might be stalling.  It has been to a few garages and no one wants to touch it.  I have personally talked with them on 3 different occasions and it has been agreed that if they sell the car or have work done, i would be the person they call.

I dont want to get off topic, but I noticed you are missing most of your valance. I found one that is black at the junkyard this week, and was thinking of picking it up for someone here.The last 1 I picked up they charged me 30 bucks for it.  And u look like a good one to have on. Back on topic, I dont have any TGP's close to me to enjoy a friendly conversation with. Thats cool to see both together.

You need to get the VIN for me! ;) Looks like a nice car besides the two spots of missing paint.

Very nice man!  Looks like it has been repainted at some point though, where there should be black trim on the front bumper cover below the headlights is painted red instead.

I want a valance, but money doesnt allow me to pay attention right now...

Yeah I have been lucky. There is 2 91-93 Grand Prix's in my local junkyard, and both had their valances still attached. No one around here needs them I guess.

Almost every GP I come across here still has a lower valence.. must be due to a lack of snow to not beat them up :icon_mrgreen:

On a side note, with a valence on your black TGP, that car will look awesome.
