I knew some people who did crazy things with their Grand Prixs, but I don't know of any RWD conversions. Pretty "slick," though.

A real 550, not a replica...

I have never stopped to take a look at what they have there. So tempting. I am so afraid of making a serious marriage endangering mistake. So I just look from the street when I drive by.

Saw 4 Model X's this morning when dropping my car off for a 12V battery replacement…

1 was a customer car -- a guy driving from KC to San Diego. He changed his wheels/tires after delivery to the 22" (stock are 20s), and while driving he figured out that the KC service center forgot to re-program the tire pressure settings in the car for the larger wheels and he kept getting low pressure warnings.

Another was waiting for delivery, and a 3rd had just been delivered. There was a 4th still on the trailer -- looks might be going to some place else in AZ for a home delivery…

Got to see the rear doors open/close. Impressive -- and the right speed (some people were complaining how slow they were during the reveal -- I'm guessing they sped them up a bit). The huge windshield is interesting -- the glass goes up over the driver's head.

Its much better looking in person… I even liked the new nose.

Here's a couple pics:
