About “wildanimal”

Well hello all motortopia member. This is my first car that i bought in september of 08. I needed a car for school asap so one day my family and i were getting some stuff to start a bbq on our way there i saw a car lot and told them if we could only take a lool at the cars. After taking the test drive on a mazda i like it but could not afford it. Then the vendor said he had a pontiac pretty much new, i took the test drive and floored it for my first actual car i thought it was fast and very responsive. After 4 or 5 hours of paper work i took home my new 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix and had a delicious BBQ.
