Hello Everyone. I am new to the forum and the new owner of GS0019. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am looking forward in getting to know you guys on the GSR but I am even more excited about owning #19. It is definitely my dream come true.
Talk to you soon.

Thanks to all. Jason no pics as of yet. I hope to have some soon. Chris #19's new home is in Wayne, NJ. So unlike you Florida guys my GS will be in hibernation for the next few months. Not that it gets driven much. The car has less than 1800 miles on it with the original windowsticker still in place a neon green RUSH sticker at the top of the windshield and another information sticker below the WSticker. The previous 2 owners have kept it impecably taken care of. Eventually I would love to have the car Bloomington Gold certified. It's funny how things work out in life. I wanted this car since it came out but at the moment it was unaffordable since I own an 89 and had just gotten married. Here we are 10 years later and I feel like I just took it out of the showroom. The car is beyond what I ever would of hoped for. Hopefully I can post some pics soon. As soon as I learn to navigate around the GSR (LOL).
God Bless,
Sam

Real simple. All you have to do is fill out the application and pay the fee. As for qualification #19 has to be no less than 95% original (the way she came from the factory) and CLEAN!!!! To the best of my knowledge there is no limit to year of car at least not for the gold certification. Oh ya and you have to show up too 
Here is the link http://www.bloomingt....com/?link=home The download thing I cant figure out either........wish someone would help

Oh good, another garage queen. Why have a GS and not drive it? I'm missing something here. I'd interested in hearing the counterpoint from a watcher instead of a driver.

Hey, Sam. Welcome to the GSR and congrats on the "new" GS! Glad you found your way to the Forum.By the way, can someone tell me why every try I try loading a photo, it will not allow me to?
Where are you trying to upload a photo? Are you talking about here on the GSR Forum, in our PhotoPost Photo Gallery, or what?

I'm with you, Bill. If you every see MY Grand Sport on a trailer, call the cops because it's been STOLEN!Oh good, another garage queen. Why have a GS and not drive it? I'm missing something here. I'd interested in hearing the counterpoint from a watcher instead of a driver.
When it finally comes time to sell (horrors!), my GS will be worth a bit less money because of the miles on the clock but I'll more than recoup that in all the FUN I had driving it!
But hey, each to their own. Enjoy your GS however you prefer... just enjoy it!
