Been a G.M. man all my life. I had an ‘04 Pontiac Comp-G. It was Fusion Orange metallic, and BEAUTIFUL. I got T-boned at 45 MPH right on the two passenger doors. I’m afraid it was totaled. State Farm was very gracious with the amount that they gave me for it. I was shocked when they told me the amount. (I can’t recommend them enough) I think because the model was discontinued, and then later Pontiac was discontinued, it was not worth the bluebook price.

So I went more for mileage, and I bought an ‘11 Malibu with L1T body style. It is Mocha Steel, and I like it a LOT! Almost all my driving is around town, and I’m getting a solid 22-23 MPG, and 33 HW. I went for the Camel something two tone interior.

Anyway – hello!

Welcome aboard!

Ditto, sorry to hear of your other ride's demise but glad to hear you made it out in one piece. If you have any pics of your new ride we'd like to see 'em, and if you have any of your old ride feel free to share them as well.

Got any mods in mind?

 

[MalibuDave]

Oh! I missed your responses. Thank you. Yes, I'll take pics the next time I wash it. The only mod I'm looking at right now is a set of mud flaps. That's a REAL exciting mod. LOL ETA: I also wanted to say that I think it speaks real well of G.M. that all I had wrong with me from the accident, was a reddish bruise on my right side. Luckily it was a smaller car that hit me.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about the old car, but congrats on the new car. You might not be living very far from where I am, I am just over the border in Indiana.
