My desire came when I was a small boy, about 7-8 years old. My uncle worked for GM in the 80s and his “executive” car was a GN with a digital dash. That had to be in 88-89. Anyway, he let his brother, my dad, borrow the car. And I distinctly remember being in the back seat with that white/black interior as a kid. But what really made me remember this car was the fact that he, my dad, pulled up to a toll booth with a ZR1 next to him. Him being the racing type decided to race this ZR1 from the toll both. Blew him (the ZR1) away. And this all when we had full luggage for three people in the back. I mean, come on!
So, my dad had to return the car to his brother at GM and I can tell you, he didn’t want to. Up until the day he passed he always talked about that GN. Being the best car he’s ever driven and being the most memorable. We used to sit and drink on our porch that I grew up on and speak about this car. Always this car. He loved it. I loved it.
Last year I finally found one in great condition. The reason I bought it was only because me and my dad just loved it. And I mean loved it. Now that I actually have one of these fantastic machines as an adult, I can say, it’s a pain in the ass, it drives me nuts, but it is so fun to drive and it brings back some great memories. And guess what? It’s still a badass and I’m glad to own one. I love this car, all it’s quirks, and I plan to enjoy it as much as my father did in the 80s. This car does something to all of us, let’s embrace it.
To end, have to say thanks to this great community. I never realized that there was such a great group of people who love this car as much as I do.
