Rico's New Ride!

Rico · July 05, 2007, 04:43:10 PM

Well, gang I didn't have time to put together a real video cast like I wanted, but I am uploading a short rough cut video of my new ride as I write this. Just picked her up this afternoon. Got a 2007 G6 hard top convertible. This car is very sweet. It was really hard to part with my old machine, but she served me well over the years. Here are a few quick pics.....

WOW... Nice Ride Rico... love the license plate, isn't that from your previous car (can you just swap out license plates like that?)

Did you buy or lease?

Locutus · July 05, 2007, 04:48:55 PM

Wow! Nice! I love convertibles, but I'm not responsible enough to care for the top. Good luck with it! (Don't get a ticket joyriding.)

Nice. Congratulations.

Rico · July 05, 2007, 04:55:15 PM

Nothing special to car for on the top. It's a hard top! This isn't the greatest pic, but here is how she looks closed....

What a sweet ride! Congrats!

Nathan and I love it!

Have fun, don't get any speeding tickets!

You can transfer old plates in Michigan Kenny. I ended up leasing for a variety of reasons. I've never had this type of car before, and the hard top has a lot of mechanicals in it. I'll post some pics some time of that. It like a Transformer. But I really wanted it. If I like it a lot, I'll just buy a new one in 2010 when my lease ends.

Ahh, ok. I missed that initially. Even cooler.

Geekyfanboy · July 05, 2007, 05:09:20 PM

Oh I got your Transformer reference.. .I was going to say.. that's not one of the cars in the movie.. but with the convertable hard top.. it's like a Transformer.

This is rough, but you get the idea....

Nice.. I really like those convertable hard tops.

markinro · July 05, 2007, 05:30:50 PM

Its like a transformer -- OMG !! So, when you get the new dog -- you have to take her for a ride too !!!

Very nice -- I'm sure you will be very happy. How is the radio with the top down ?

I figured you would lease -- most of my relatives with families lease one of their cars.

Yeah -- I REALLY liked that yellow car in the movie....really liked it....

Rico · July 05, 2007, 05:35:40 PM

Yeah - it's really a blast to drive. Handles well so far. The radio and just talking is fine with the top down. Even doing about 55 MPH - or more. :)

Mark - we have to go see Transformers again with this car. And then put the top down as we leave the parking lot. LOL!

P.S. The new dog will go in Lynn's car. ;)

jedijeff · July 05, 2007, 05:40:06 PM

Wow, that is a really nice looking car. I am sure you will get lots of enjoyment out of it. Congrats

Ok -- but you need to get the Transformer sound effect on a CD. What am I saying -- probably already have the CD. So, you're to blame for the thunderstorm ??? Thought maybe someone had just washed their car. Do cars today still have a break-in period ?
