G6 GT Transplant/New Build

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Yeah the storm that hit my area was bad. I’ve never seen so many windows busted out in my life. They used to have a G6 GT when they were new and it was nice as well

My biggest gripe is the window is too high up and the arm rest is too low. When I drive with my elbow on the top of the door it is above my shoulder. The should have raised the arm rest about 4 or 5 more inches. My Cherokee and Grand Cherokee were comfortable in that regard.

You're not really talking game until you have a Fiero

I watched one of those catch on fire, in a driveway, while running.

People who drive automatics are weird with their left arm hanging out the window, looking all goofy.

Good thing I am a professional driver and can drive anything from an electric pallet jack to an all out 18 wheeler. Automatics and Manuals alike.

Nothing like a manual. Nothing will ever touch it. You can't feel what the road and drivetrain are doing when you're holding on to paddle shifters.

Driving an 18 wheeler was the most fun I had at work lol. Granted it was oil field so I only drove once every couple days but man that was fun.

When I was 18 I drove those huge green Florida Power trucks. I helped build the larger part of the Pinellas County Jail. I helped run all the pipes under the jail that carried the electrical cables. That was a cool job. I made mad money when I worked there.

I was very fortunate to be able to offroad a ton when I was younger, and hunt and stuff. I learned to drive a 5 speed POS cj7 at 11-12 years old. Like I learned how to use a clutch by being forced to climb up the side of a man-made dam on a lake.

I miss that good money but being home every day is worth a hell of a lot more

I think everybody should be required to learn how to drive a manual. If you can't understand what's going on with a manual, how in the world do you know enough to safely drive?

I was 16 and working at the auto parts store all they had left was a manual S-10, I was told jump in and learn while taking these parts down to this place. Mind you it was on Jefferson Street in Joliet, IL which is basically a mini-chicago and that street is one of the 3 busiest in town. I learned real quick like on how to drive and shift a manual vehicle. Best way to learn just jump in and go.

Hate to break it to you bro but that doesn't make you a professional driver. It also has nothing to do with my post. Please say that because you deliver pizzas you are a professional driver. Please do it
