2005 Legacy GT sold and 2008 Pontiac G8 GT takes its place

The last year has been a bit of a whirlwind for me and cars. In May 2010, I ventilated the block in my Evo and sold it soon after. I picked up a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT and drove it for almost 1 year until I got bored and sold it.


On Good Friday 2011, I survived hail and tornado's, in the St. Louis area, to purchase and bring home a 2008 Pontiac G8 GT.
