This is actually from last year, but thought you guys might enjoy it!
I recently took a trip to The Sloan Museum in Flint, Michigan.
What an awesome place! I had heard that this is the where they store GNX #001.
Unfortunately, it was on the road touring. They did, however, have GNX #500!
After browsing over the car real hard, as it’s not roped off and you can get up close and personal or even sit inside if you wish, one of the office women came over to me.
She smiled, must of knew somehow I was a big fan. Of course, it could have been that I spent like an hour by that car and was taking a ton of pictures.
I told her, the keys are in it, so does that mean I get to take it for a spin?
She replied, “well, are you a reporter or something?”
I blurt out “is there a magical correct answer to that question to get you to say yes?”
Yeah, “Please” she states.
Without missing a beat, “Pleeeeeeeeeease” comes out of my mouth.
The lady smiles again & says ok, BUT, be verrrry careful with it, as I’m the only one in the office right now & I can’t go with you!
“I WILL!” I say gleefully and loudly as it echoed through the building.
Before she can change her mind, I jump in, turning the key to hear the whine of the turbocharger as she pushes the door open.
And Off I go!
I just realized how long this story actually is, so I have posted it here with pictures of GNX #500:

BTW, This site has been undergoing a facelift...
What do you think??
