The usual compromise that is made when a husband (who wants a sports car) and a wife (who wants a grocery getter) buy a car together. It's a good looking car, and decently fast-certainly faster than 90% of the stuff she could have goaded you into buying if she loved you less-but contrary to what people will tell you, it will never outperform a pony car, and even a V6 Mustang will eat it for lunch.
I went and did a 15 on the drag strip in my Grand Prix GTP while I had 30 pounds worth of groceries in the car! Rock on!

First appeared in 1962 as a full sized two door coupe, similar to the Bonneville. In 1969 it was moved to the mid-sized chassis shared with Chevy's Monte Carlo. Was given a re-style in 1973. Many would agree that 1962-1977 were the most stylish years for this personal luxury coupe. But it was down sized in 1978 to a boxy generic design which continued till 1988. Thats when the Grand Prix was redesigned as a Front Wheel Drive aero jelly bean on wheels. 4 Door models were offered, due to the declining popularity of personal luxury coupes. The Grand Prix lost it's uniqueness and was just another boring GM sedan. It was redesigned in 1997, and 2004, but still continued the same look until the Pontiac name was axed in 2009.
I don't know what GM were thinking in the 80's, but they turned the cool Pontiac Grand Prix into a boring crap box that looked the same as all their other cars.

Nickname for the Taconic State Parkway in New York. An infamous 104 mile long road that predates the interstate highway system. Designed as a scenic tour of the Taconic mountain range it features lots of tight high speed turns, no shoulder, flirtation with certain death if you go off the road and beautiful vistas.
A true "Drivers Road." If you have a good car and decent driving stills it can be a blast, at night it's very demanding because you can't see the turns coming and deer tend to hang out on/near the road.

"Hey how did you get up to the ski area yesterday?'
"Oh we took the New York Grand Prix, it was awesome"
"In the middle of the night!? You're out of your mind."
