My story.
I bought my GN July 10th 1986, after ordering it May 10th, which the dealer said was the last week to order an '86. A co-workers brother that had a '66 Skylark GS had seen my car in the parking lot at work. He had been to the GS Nationals and printed off a copy of the GSXtra newsletter for me. I joined in early '87 and went to the Nationals that spring, low and behold, at the far end of the campground area (where they had the car show in the early years) was an awesome Grand National with killer wheels, cooling vents and goofy looking fender flares. I believe it was a GNX prototype (#1 or #2, I don't recall). Sitting next to it was an all white regal with white painted bumpers, grille, killer white wheels, cooling vents and funky white fender flares with some fancy emblems that said XRay. Come to find out after talking to the guy (Rick), who worked with the GNX's, built his car with extra GNX parts to make his interpretation of the GNX with a twist.
That was my fist time.
Good god man, how did we get to be so old?
