#1323 of 1325 A great car, possible collector item. by eddierapido Jul 25, 2009 (4:44 am)
Writing from Canada. Picked up my Solstice near the middle of January. I trailered it to my home, about 225 kliks. It was covered in the driveway, for 2 months longer. We had a terrible winter in Muskoka. I started driving it in mid March. Even had the top down, early. And, let me tell you, it is not rocket science, to drop or raise the top. I can do it, in less than a minute. I will agree, about luggage space, with the top down. Belay the cup holders, who cares. They are in the same category as ash trays. It is a black GXP, 5 speed, goes like a bat outta of hell, and gets great mileage! Handles well, and shifts well, just watch the red line in first gear, under full acceleration. As to these so called experts, who tested the Solstice, they must be very girlish. Some wag, said bring tools, re: the top raising and lowering. What, sweetie, afraid you might break a nail? I love it, and the end of Pontiac, is a pity, indeed. Buy North American! It could be your neighbour's job. Replies to this message: pao (Jul 25, 2009 1:13 pm) eddierapido (Jul 26, 2009 4:49 am)

Replying to: eddierapido (Jul 25, 2009 4:44 am) dont think you will ever see the convertible as a collector item unless you have the very last one or the very first one manufactured....the coupe with around a 1000 or so total production will be much more rare than the convertible.....but again....if its the first one or last one...with limited miles in 20 years....you never know Replies to this message: eddierapido (Jul 26, 2009 4:49 am)

Replying to: pao (Jul 25, 2009 1:13 pm) But who would have thought, 40 years ago, that Austin Healey 100-6 and 3000's would fetch the price that they now get, at the auctions. I don't drive my roadster every day, I have another vehicle. I do plan to keep it for awhile. I still say, that it draws more than its share of admiring glances. And, IMO, outclasses the much beloved car of the test ladies, (Miata) in looks alone. Then there is the power advantage, of the GXP. This car is alot of fun, and a great ice breaker with the ladies and car enthusiasts. There are not that many up here, north of Toronto and London, Ontario.I got a great deal on the car, when I bought it in the winter, from a dealer in Burlington. Looking through the on line Auto Trader, the prices are $5000 higher for a used one now, with lots of kliks on them. So, who knows?
