I saw your post on the registry about your favorite GMMGs and thought I'd do a list also. I didn't realize after I started my list how hard it was to choose my top 3 from each edition. I like every car ever built by GMMG so it actually took me longer than I thought. I tend to like the higher HP cars (As I'm sure most other people do also) and my favorite color is probably NBM and love the Hockey stripes on any series. I also like any of the Houndstooth interior options also. All that being said, here is my list. Feel free to put on your spreadsheet and post if you'd like. THANKS! I enjoyed looking through the registry to choose my favorites!
