You can always try this on firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

I started using Safari, because with the amount of fonts I am currently running (3000+ inactive and 600+ active) Firefox started to dog up on me. Whenever linotype font explorer X was changing my activations firefox would freeze and if I have to choose between my fonts and firefox... I'm gonna choose my fonts and start using Safari again

But you should disable it when visiting this forum, because we like this forum and money likes to make things happen

[quote=God_Bot;126093]That GXP has one ugly spoiler on it, only thing I really dislike about the car.

Hi `Garrett,
I do not like the factory spoiler that factory ended up
using. The below is the one that I liked when I seen
the below article/pic's in August of 2006.
Like the Concept Wing + 3.9L + 6spd
Check it out below


Pontiac unveils G6 GXP concept car

by Stuart Waterman on Apr 3rd 2006 at 6:24PM


Pontiac will be whisking the cover off this G6 GXP at the New York Auto Show. Officially just a concept car, we're guessing the GXP will soon see production.

The GXP "performance series" badge first saw the light of day on Pontiac's 2003 Bonneville GXP, and later graced the performance model of the Grand Prix. A Solstice GXP will launch later this year.

The G6 GXP is meant to provide buyers with a more aggressive 2 2 coupe, with a full package of GXP mechanical and styling enhancements.

On the performance side, the GXP boasts a mildly reworked 3.9-liter V6 (270 hp, 250 lb-ft) coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission. The car rolls on 19-inch wheels providing a glimpse of cross-drilled brake rotors (after all, nothing says performance like brake disc holes). The suspension is lowered about an inch all around.

Styling-wise, the GXP gets a redesigned front fascia with integrated air dam, a couple of air scoops in the hood, side rocker panels, a new rear fascia sporting dual exhaustsand a faux diffuser, and a new "hammerhead"-design spoiler. The interior receives a red accent treatment, including red chrome trim. The Autoblog jury's still out on the grille (which looks to some of us like a shotgun wedding of Pontiac's "nostrils" and the Audi "waterfall"), but overall the package offers a nice performance upgrade for the G6.

All in all, a factory-edition tuner car. More pics after the jump.

I like that spoiler, but the one on it I like as well. It sets the cars out from others on the road, and if the spoiler was on any car, it fits that the best.

WOW. I missed a whole day of posting. Let me try to catch up.

I use FireFox.

I like the GPX. I think the interior looks great. The wing is not the greatest, but i can learn to love it.

My car is the color of mud.

There, i think i caught up.

The owners of the site don't tell me who our sponsors are, or when there's a new one. They just add them in when and where they like. I find out about them the same time you do.

I'm going to reveal a little known fact now. But when I'm logged in, I don't see most of the ads you guys are talking about. I see the banner ads at the top, bottom, and right side of the page. But the other ads contained in posts and between posts only appear when I'm not logged in. It's been like that since I became a moderator.

The old forum had a feature that if you became a paying contributor to the site, you wouldn't see the ads anymore. But I've noticed that the new forum doesn't seem to have that.

I appologize for all the ads. But like you all know, in order to keep the site running (for free), we have to have sponsors and ads. The owners take care of that part. I have no say in that.

This is the first I'm hearing of the audio ads. I'm familiar with the banner ads for talking smilies. The one where you suddenly here "HELLOOOOO!!!". Ever since the talking ads came out on every site, I turn my sound off.

i don't see ads in or between posts, but i know what you mean. i've seen them like that on other forums. that would get annoying real quick. the only ones i see are the top/bottom/side ones also.

i haven't heard one of the talking ones yet since i've been home, but i've only been on here a few minutes at a time here and there....

oh and my car is black again
