"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
06 Pontiac GTO?
- Thread starter Romeo1
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
When looking to buy any used car, check the mileage. For a 3 and a half year old motor, I'd expect no more than 45,000 miles. Check for leaks, electrical problems, suspension, (which is really not impressive in the recent GTO's). Get a Carfax report, and remember, most states... you buy AS IS!
Edit:
I guess I was a bit generous with the mpg.wiesman44 said:

Two thing that might happen in the future that would affect you are the price of gas going back to the $4/gallon range, and also GM going under, or at least Pontiac going under. Parts and service could get harder to find if that happens. And certainly I would not buy a warranty from a dealership, because if they go out of business, they don't have to honor the warranty.

I was looking at the G8 sport truck. I always wanted to buy a modern el camino but alas these are the primary reasons why I won't be getting one...well that and it's NEVER going to make it to production at this point.Bible_Belt said:
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You can find many GTO's with less than 20k miles mostly because they don't use it as a daily driver. Also, we don't know if the OP wants a manual
I love my GOAT. She gets plenty of looks, and is fast. Next up for me are headers. Soon as I get some headers on there, its gonna be great.
