I'm on W-body.com as GMFWDFAN. smile Most of you here will know me from there. I still like W-body, but I figured I'd come over here too. My name is Tyson, and I don't own a W-body. However, I have driven, ridden in, detailed, and loved many of them.

Currently, I drive a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT1, with every factory option (leather, power driver's seat, moonroof, keyless entry, etc.). It also has a locking gas cap.  cool It's black on tan leather.

Just over 126k miles on it now, but it looks/drives like new. The lady that had it knew a lot about vehicles, I could tell by the way she described what repairs and upgrades she'd done to it. She's taken meticulous care of it and you can tell. I bought it for $4500 in April 2007 with 103k miles.

The car's been amazing to me. I do tons of preventative maintainence on it, and so far the only problem it's given me were a failed driver's side window switch and regulator and an oil sending unit. For a while it was getting awful gas mileage, but after a new fuel pressure regulator, oil sending unit, front oxygen sensor, and PCV valve, it's back up to the mid-20s.

For a while, my aunt drove a '94 Cutlass Supreme DOHC coupe. It was red on black leather, and was a damn nice car. She got rid of it when the tranny failed at close to 200k miles. She also got a tan 3100 '95 Cutlass sedan, but it was a lemon so it got sold rather quickly. My best friend has an '02 Century with 70k on it. Pretty boring car, but very solid.

My dream W-body is a black on red leather DOHC Cutlass 'vert. smile

Oh. Here's some pics of Arnold in all his glory. First up, the most recent ones - with my favorite mod so far...black housing/clear corner headlamps.







And those seat covers aren't orange. They're red and black. My camera spazzes sometimes.

Older shots:








Mods: tinted windows, assorted red accents/details, red calipers, shorty antenna, black housing/clear corner headlights, custom WAI, and a red Pontiac windshield banner.

Tyson some comments:

1.) Arnold is a girl - deal with it, you've named a girl Arnold - shame on you.  Unless it's a Giant Titty guy - ew!!!

The Generation I 3.1L V6 was an astonishing feat of engineering as it had the best of both worlds:

The power of a 4-cylinder, yet the fuel economy of a V8.

First things first. Once again, Breakdown, my car is not a girl. smile Just because you came up with some rules on car gender doesn't mean they apply to everyone. Especially people in a different country.

Second, thank you for you comment, Buck. However, up close, my car's paint sucks ass. Nothing but swirl marks, fine scratches, and acid rain damage. It makes me sad, really.
